KBS Realty Advisors represented by RBJ signs 11 new leases - 50,000 s/f

Richards Barry Joyce & Partners represented KBS Realty Advisors in eleven new leases, expansions and renewals at Nagog Park over the past 90 days. The leases total 50,000 s/f and were signed with a mix of established and emerging companies, illustrating the appeal of both Nagog Park and Greater Boston's northern sub-markets. KBS Realty's portfolio of properties in Nagog Park includes buildings 30, 31, 33, 35, 40, 42, 43 and 125. The park is considered one of the leading office parks in the region, and has history tied to many of the area's high tech companies. Nagog Park is easily accessed from I-495 and Rte. 2 and features a wide range of in-park amenities, including a day care center and several fine restaurants. The park can accommodate tenants with space requirements ranging from 1,000 to 35,000 s/f. "Nagog Park has a remarkable record of being home to a diverse group of highly successful companies," said John Kolb, vice president, KBS Realty.
