Newmark announces the recent completion of seven leases totaling more than 30,000 square feet at 211 Congress Street in Boston's Financial District.

"We are thrilled to have leased more than 30,000 square feet over the past 12 months to such quality tenants," said Cameron. "This strong leasing momentum demonstrates Drucker's enthusiasm and ability to make the investments necessary to complete deals in the current leasing environment and speaks to the building's great location and amenities-factors that resonate with the tenant base in today's market."

"We are honored to have been selected by such quality companies to provide their Boston office needs. This validates our commitment to continuously invest in prime assets and to partner with great local management companies and leasing teams. We would like to thank all those in the brokerage community who have helped us in the lease-up effort," said Harvey Drucker of Drucker Associates.
