Is now a good time for major employers to commit to long-term office leases?
Rubin Rudman has committed to a 15-year lease for a 57,844-square-foot office headquarters at One Federal St. in Boston. The firm will vacate its current 42,994-square-foot location at 53 State St. to accommodate the expansion.
Why it matters
This move represents a significant expansion for the firm as it secures more than 14,000 additional square feet in a prime location. It underscores ongoing leasing momentum at One Federal St. following a 2024 restructuring by landlord Tishman Speyer.
The new headquarters occupies floors 23, 24, and part of 25 in the 38-story, 1.1 million-square-foot One Federal St. tower. The firm signed a 15-year agreement for the space.
The players
Rubin Rudman
A law firm that provides legal services and is currently based at 53 State St.
Tishman Speyer
A global real estate investment firm that owns and manages the One Federal St. property.
Commonwealth of Massachusetts
The state government entity which has also signed a 106,000-square-foot lease at One Federal St.
The details
The office space expansion was facilitated by brokers Matt Harvey and John Coakley of Cresa. This deal contributes to a total of over 350,000 square feet of space leased at the property since Tishman Speyer initiated a restructuring in 2024.
Timeline
Tishman Speyer completed a building restructuring in 2024.
Rubin Rudman is scheduled to relocate to the new headquarters in early 2028.
Culture Shift
The move aligns with a broader shift in the commercial office market as firms prioritize modern, high-profile towers over legacy spaces to attract and retain talent. This trend reflects the ongoing flight-to-quality office leasing trend in major U.S. financial districts.
Clients of the firm will eventually need to update their records for the new Financial District location upon the 2028 move. The continued leasing activity at One Federal St. also signals ongoing investment in the local downtown economy.
The takeaway
Commercial tenants continue to evaluate their footprint as office leases come up for renewal in competitive urban hubs. Businesses looking to expand should monitor how major property owners are restructuring assets to include modern tenant amenities.
