Hobbs Brook Real Estate signs ZoomInfo on a 100,000 s / f lease at 275 Wyman
Waltham, MA Hobbs Brook Real Estate LLC said 275 Wyman will soon become the east coast office of ZoomInfo, a global leader in go-to-market intelligence. The deal is the region’s second largest lease in 2020.
275 Wyman is a five story LEED Gold Certified office building on Rte. 128 Technology Corridor, 10 miles west of Boston. The 314,000 s / f building is one of 15 buildings on Hobbs Brook’s 2.2 million s / f office campus along Wyman St. ZoomInfo. It will occupy the entire fourth and fifth floors of the building, which corresponds to a total area of 226,000 s / f. The company is currently working remotely and plans to move to its new space this summer. ZoomInfo employees plan to return to the office hybrid.
275 Wyman was designed by Margulies Perruzzi Architects, built by Commodore Builders, and developed, owned and operated by Hobbs Brook.
ZoomInfo was drawn to 275 Wyman’s amenities including:
• A 7,000 m² fitness studio with weights, stationary bicycles, cardio machines and a studio for lessons, as well as changing rooms with showers;
• A 4,000 b / w full service cafeteria with plenty of healthy options and outdoor seating;
• An 8,000 s / f conference center with partitions;
• A six-story parking garage with a covered walkway connected to the office;
• An additional café with outdoor seating; and
• An extended reception area.
ZoomInfo is taking over the workspace on Wyman Street from the current main tenant of the building, Cimpress, the parent company, to Vistaprint, who will move to ZoomInfo’s current 73,000 b / w office space at 170 Tracer Ln. Early this summer.
The new office is ZoomInfo’s second largest after its global headquarters in Vancouver, Washington.
“We are thrilled to have ZoomInfo in our portfolio and look forward to contributing to and supporting its growth,” said Sam Schaefer, CEO of Hobbs Brook. “This was a complex transaction with unique challenges. We would like to thank all teams involved for their help in achieving an outstanding result. “
During the evaluation process for the office expansion, ZoomInfo considered 15 different locations in the greater Boston area and toured four buildings before securing the move to 275 Wyman. ZoomInfo has signed a lease for 226,000 s / f in the building and will work in phases.
“To attract even more talent to our rapidly growing team, our offices must reflect how much we value our people, their work styles and their lifestyle preferences,” said Henry Schuck, founder and CEO of ZoomInfo. “Hobbs Brook’s 275 Wyman is ideal for its extremely convenient location, ability to accommodate future growth, and a variety of desirable building and neighborhood facilities. We are proud to bring our largest office on the east coast here. “
“This is a significant, noteworthy deal, swapping two tenant locations to accommodate both current real estate strategies,” said Michael O’Leary, executive director of Cushman & Wakefield. “Thanks to a lot of teamwork and care between Hobbs Brook, ZoomInfo and Vistaprint, we were able to close a seamless transaction with a structure rarely seen in commercial real estate and host two companies that follow different but relevant real estate trends.”
“ZoomInfo looked at many offices before landing and we can attribute this to Hobbs Brooks’ innovative approach to delivering hospitality and service to all properties,” said Tyler McGrail, senior managing director of Newark Knight Frank, who represented ZoomInfo. “It was a pleasure working with Hobbs Brook and Vistaprint to ensure a smooth transaction for everyone.”
