An office building that’s occupied a high-profile location in Boston’s West End for 135 years is being offered for sale.

Boston Realty Advisors represents ownership in marketing 151 Merrimac St., a 6-story office building with ground-floor retail. The property is currently 77 percent leased and features versatile layouts with 6,800-square-foot floor plates and windows on three sides.
The potential sale comes in the wake of a generational building boom in the neighborhood including the recent completion of 1.9 million-square-foot Hub on Causeway mixed-use development, the 44-story, 470-unit Alcott apartment tower on Lomasney Way and continuing construction at the 2.9 million-square-foot Bulfinch Crossing development.

“North Station is one of the most exciting submarkets in Greater Boston. It’s currently a relief valve for coveted office space in Kendall Square, and we expect tremendous interest in this asset.”
