Client Objectives

  • The Massachusetts Bankers Association engaged Cresa Boston to secure a new office that would bring them closer to their member institutions while also right-sizing their footprint to better reflect updated space requirements.
  • Their goal was to find a space within the Long Wharf area of Boston’s Financial District—a location now considered a key hub for financial organizations. This strategic relocation aimed to position Mass Bankers within a vibrant, business-centric environment that better aligned with their operational objectives and member engagement strategy.
  • In addition, the client required a fully customized interior fit-out to reflect the specific needs of employees and visiting members. The space needed to facilitate collaboration, flexibility, and comfort while improving upon the limitations of their previous office.

Results

  • Cresa identified 200 State Street as the ideal location, offering not only central positioning within the Financial District but also close proximity to major Long Wharf amenities and area attractions.
  • The project management team collaborated with architectural and construction professionals to deliver a bright and vibrant environment that supports meaningful interaction between employees and member partners. The renovated office prioritized functionality, comfort, and a welcoming atmosphere.
  • Through in-depth programming sessions and space planning, Cresa helped the Mass Bankers team understand and right-size their space needs, resulting in a 16% reduction in square footage without compromising operational effectiveness.
  • Cresa successfully managed the project from inception to completion. The team ensured that the redesigned office was delivered on time and 6% under budget, providing a high-quality workplace experience that elevates Mass Bankers’ brand while enhancing member engagement.
Cresa guided us through every step of the relocation process, from understanding our space needs and identifying the right properties to negotiating lease terms, selecting and managing vendors, and overseeing the logistics of the move itself. Their team anticipated challenges before they arose and offered smart, tailored solutions that made what could have been a stressful transition feel seamless. Beyond their professionalism and deep expertise, what truly set them apart was how invested they were in our organization. They took the time to understand our mission, culture, and goals, and it showed in every interaction and recommendation.
