Carr Properties Inks 22 KSF Lease Renewal in Boston
FTI Consulting has renewed its 21,910-square-foot office lease at 200 State St. The tenant will continue to occupy space on the ninth floor of the Class A office asset.

Executive Vice President Connor Faught with Colliers negotiated on behalf of the tenant, while Executive Managing Directors Tim Bianchi, Debra Gould, and Bill Anderson of Newmark represented the landlord.
The property is currently 94 percent occupied. Notable tenants include Rose Park Advisors, TD Wealth, Fisher Phillips, Beacon Capital Partners, Avison Young and Centrexion Therapeutics, the same source shows.
