BOSTON-Law firm Goodwin Procter LLP has finalized an agreement to move its Boston offices to a 17-story build-to-suit tower being developed by the Fallon Co. at Fan Pier, one of the country's largest mixed-use development sites. Part of the next phase of development at the 21-acre site, the 500,000-square-foot BTS will be joined by Twenty Two Liberty, Fan Pier's first residential project.
The law firm will occupy all of the commercial space at the Fallon BTS, moving more than 800 attorneys and staff to the neighborhood. Construction is expected to begin early next year, with completion anticipated for spring 2016.
“As Goodwin Procter begins its second century, it's fitting that we move forward with 'a home to call our own' in the firm's founding city,” says Regina M. Pisa, chairman of Goodwin Procter, which was founded in Boston. “Our talented and dedicated attorneys and professional staff look forward to joining the many current and prospective clients in the rapidly growing Waterfront neighborhood.”
Late last month, a Fallon-led partnership broke ground on Twenty Two Liberty, a 14-story luxury residential tower at Fan Pier. Reportedly it's the first new-construction, water-view luxury condominium project to be built in Boston since 2009.
The $3-billion Fan Pier project spans nine city blocks along the city's waterfront. It's a joint venture of Fallon, MassMutual and Cornerstone Real Estate Advisers LLC, an indirect subsidiary of MassMutual.
