CBRE New England has been retained to market the lease on the Old City Hall property at 45 School Street in downtown Boston.
The nonprofit Architectural Heritage Foundation is seeking a buyer for its lease with the Boston Planning & Development Agency, which it’s held since 1970. The historic preservation group led a multimillion-dollar preservation and redevelopment effort after the new city hall was completed. The 1862 structure now contains offices, retail and restaurant space including Ruth’s Chris Steak House.
In a statement, CBRE said it hopes to designate a buyer in November. The foundation plans to use the proceeds from the sale to complete a courtyard renovation and create a historic preservation loan and grant fund.
