John Hennessey and Stephen Lombardi of GVA Williams represented Nokia, Inc., the mobile advertising firm, in its recent 19,437 s/f lease at 31 St. James Ave. in Boston's Back Bay. The five year lease will increase its presence in the building from the 9,581 s/f that Enpocket, which Nokia acquired in September of 2007, already occupies, to a total of 29,018 s/f.
The landlord, Capital Properties, was represented by Tim Lyne and Peter Conlin of CB Richard Ellis.
Nokia, Inc. chose the space at 31 St. James Ave., also known as the Park Square Building, as it provides close proximity to public transportation, the amenities of the Back Bay, and the ease and accessibility to its client base. The eleven story, 500,000 s/f Park Square Building was renovated and modernized in 1991, providing attractive and functional space for its tenants.
Nokia will be moving into the space in November.
