What: Burns & Levinson headquarters
Where: 125 High St., Boston
Owner: Tishman Speyer
Built: 1991 

After nearly three decades as a tenant at 125 Summer St. in Boston, Burns & Levinson has relocated to its new headquarters at 125 High St. 

The law firm signed a 15-year lease last year for 100,000 square feet in the 30-story, 950,000-square-foot office tower. The new space features a larger floor plate across two floors – compared with the previous five-floor configuration – which enabled the firm to create a more collaborative environment for its 250 lawyers and staff. 

Designed by Gensler and built by Elaine Construction, the space features a grand connecting staircase and multiple common areas that provide flexible workspaces.

They Said It: 

“We love the location bordering the Greenway and the Seaport. We selected and designed the space so that it would feel like we are truly a part of the city. The space has both an urban and a calm, balanced feel, which is exactly what we wanted.” 

— David Rosenblatt, managing partner, Burns & Levinson
