Marcus Sells Back Bay’s Horticultural Hall to Northeastern U.

Marcus Partners has sold 300 Massachusetts Ave., an architecturally distinctive, 45,000-square-foot, mixed-use property in Boston’s Back Bay, to Northeastern University. Deal terms weren’t disclosed.

Before selling the property, Marcus Partners completed an extensive capital program that fully restored and modernized the historic building and transformed it into creative office space.

“This property, known as Horticultural Hall, is both historically and architecturally significant for the City of Boston,” said Peter Cameron, a principal with Marcus Partners.  “We were lucky to have the opportunity to purchase this facility from the Christian Science Church,  and we’re happy they trusted us with the property that sits directly on the newly renovated Christian Science Plaza. It was a thrill to help restore and bring new life to the property.”

Marcus Partners purchased Horticultural Hall in 2017. Post-renovations, it’s now 100% leased to four tenants.
