Boston, MA RJK, in partnership with North Colony Asset Management and Battery Global Advisors, has completed the acquisition of 226 Causeway St., a premier office property at the gateway to downtown. Immediately adjacent to North Station and TD Garden, 226 Causeway sits in between the Zakim & North Washington St. Bridges. This highly visible, transit-oriented location anchors one of the city’s most dynamic live-work-play neighborhoods.
Spanning 205,972 s/f across six floors, 226 Causeway St. is distinguished by its turn-of-the-century brick-and-beam architecture, soaring ceiling heights, and rare 37,000 s/f floor plates – an unmatched combination in the local office market.
With over 200 sporting events, concerts, and entertainment experiences hosted annually at TD Garden, the neighborhood offers a year-round energy that enriches the workplace environment. Direct access to the Harborwalk, a 40-mile public waterfront trail, further enhances the tenant experience, blending lifestyle, accessibility, and connectivity into a seamless community fabric.
The building also benefits from the rapid revitalization of the North Station neighborhood, led by The Hub on Causeway, a transformative 1.5 million-s/f mixed-use development adjacent to the property. With unrivaled access to MBTA commuter rail, Orange and Green Line subway service, and Amtrak’s Downeaster, 226 Causeway stands in the heart of the city as a premier hub for companies seeking to attract and retain top talent in a thriving and accessible Boston market.
RJK plans to immediately invest in interior renovations, including upgraded lobbies, restrooms, and common areas, along with targeted tenant build-outs and amenities. These enhancements will deliver a world-class office environment that integrates contemporary workplace needs with the property’s timeless architectural character.
“With its one-of-a-kind location at the heart of Boston’s best transit hub, 226 Causeway is perfectly positioned for a major tenant to establish a flagship presence,” said Rick Griffin, CIO. “The combination of large floor plates, accessibility, and surrounding amenities makes this building an unparalleled option for companies focused on attracting and retaining top talent.”
“226 Causeway represents everything we look for in a long-term investment – authentic architecture, unmatched location, and the opportunity to create an office environment that will define the next chapter of workplace excellence in Boston,” said Brandon Kelly, CEO. “This acquisition is part of RJK’s broader vision to shape the future of Greater Boston’s workplace landscape by reimagining best-in-class properties into modern destinations that foster innovation, culture, and community.”
RJK has partnered with Hacin, an award-winning architecture, interior design, and visual identity studio, to lead the new design of the property, and with Proportion Design, a boutique creative agency specializing in concept-driven brands and environments, to reimagine the property’s identity and positioning.
Newmark executive managing director Tim Bianchi and senior managing directors Matt George and James Brady will provide local leasing expertise.
RJK extends its gratitude to the partners who made this acquisition possible: Eastdil Secured, Saul Ewing LLP, Seyfarth Shaw LLP, and the RJK team.
