John Hennessey and Stephen Lombardi of GVA Williams represented Nokia, Inc., the mobile advertising firm, in their recent 19,437 s/f lease at 31 St. James Ave. in Boston's Back Bay. The five-year lease will increase their presence in the building; from the 9,581 s/f that Enpocket, who 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 Sq. Building, as it provides proximity to public transportation, the amenities of the Back Bay, and the accessibility to their client base. The 11-story, 500,000 s/f Park Sq. was renovated and modernized in 1991. Nokia will be moving into the space in November.
