Transwestern Consulting Group (TCG) represents Berkshire Bank in 10,600 s/f lease
Boston, MA Transwestern Consulting Group (TCG) represented Berkshire Bank in a new 10,600 s/f lease at 60 State St. The bank will move its corporate headquarters of Berkshire Hills Bancorp, the parent company of Berkshire Bank, to the building’s 38th floor.
TCG senior vice presidents Rob Byrne and Jeff Landers represented Berkshire Bank. Dan Cavanaugh, Patrick Nugent and Ryan Enright of JLL represented the building owner, Oxford Properties Group.
“Deciding to move to Boston was a significant choice for a bank that has been headquartered in Western Massachusetts for so long,” said Byrne. “Berkshire would have been hard-pressed to find a more central location in Boston than the intersection of Congress and State streets, right next to Faneuil Hall. And the top floor of 60 State St. will provide the Berkshire team with exceptional views of their new home.”
Previously located in Pittsfield, the bank is expected to occupy its new headquarters in December.
