Greenberg Traurig LLP is trading its One International Place address for a higher perch at South Station Tower, locking in roughly 76,000 square feet across the 18th through 20th floors. The move, planned for late next year, will give the firm about 20,000 square feet more than it has now and is designed to make room for recent growth in the Boston office.
According to The Boston Globe, the lease pushes South Station Tower to about 63 percent leased and plants Greenberg Traurig alongside big-name neighbors like Jones Day, FM Global, Citadel and JPMorgan Chase. Boston co-managing shareholders David J. Dykeman and Terence P. McCourt pointed to the building's "modern design and transit connectivity" as making it "an ideal environment" for the office's next chapter. Sarah Hawkins, who leads Hines' U.S. East market, said the tower "continues to attract industry-leading companies."
Why South Station Tower?
Hines completed the 51-story South Station Tower in 2025 and pitches it as a transit-oriented, mixed-use project with roughly 680,000 square feet of office space and 166 Ritz-Carlton branded condominiums, along with an elevated private "Sky Park" and an expanded bus terminal, according to Hines. The building has been steadily reeling in large tenants, and JPMorgan Chase announced plans this year to relocate a major Boston operation into the tower, a move that underscores the draw for firms that want modern, well-connected offices.
What It Means For The Market
Greenberg Traurig's relocation fits a broader pattern of established firms swapping older downtown space for larger, amenity-heavy offices meant to help recruit and retain lawyers. The Boston office has expanded from about 80 attorneys in 2020 to roughly 120 today, as reported by The Boston Globe, while the firm employs roughly 3,200 attorneys worldwide, according to Greenberg Traurig.
Once the move is complete, Greenberg Traurig's departure will free up its footprint at One International Place for a new tenant, and it hands another vote of confidence to South Station Tower's owners as they work to push leasing closer to full capacity. For clients and staff, the relocation leans into convenience, with direct access to commuter rail, subway and bus lines, and a high-amenity workplace the firm says matches its next chapter in Boston.
