According to Mary Powers and Leslie Cotter of The Dartmouth Company, who handled the leasing for the ground floor retail, “The ability to pre-lease 100% of the retail space to a solid group of tenants was due in great part to the developer’s commitment to bringing a class A building to the neighborhood, the proximity to public transportation, and the increasing popularity of Jamaica Plain as a place to live, work, and play.”
