30 Winter Street / Boston

This office building is a stable asset with a solid downtown Boston location. The property was fully leased at acquisition and purchased at a price well below replacement cost, with existing rents below market in an area of the city where substantial redevelopment was taking place.

Cresset successfully renewed/re-leased 77,370 sf which expired through 2004, resulting in a Q4í04 occupancy of 98%. This success was in large part due to the improved operating efficiency and tenant satisfaction following Cressetís renovation/replacement of the elevator and HVAC systems, issues identified during the initial due diligence process.

In 2004, Cresset undertook a zoning review and developed a conceptual plan to increase the street-level retail area by 15%. These efforts, combined with increasing the rentable area by 4,636 sf through a re-measurement of the entire building to current standards, has added substantial value to a stable property.

In September, 2007, the property was sold to a an offshore investor. The sale resulted in a significant gain over the six-year ownership. Cresset continues to provide property management and development services to the new owner.
