BOSTON — Four Commonwealth of Massachusetts agencies have taken 138,000 square feet of office space at 1000 Washington Street, an 11-story, 242,000-square-foot office tower located in Boston’s South End that is owned by Nordic Properties. The agencies are all part of the Department of Consumer Affairs and include the Department of Telecommunications and Cable, the Division of Banks, the Division of Insurance and the Division of Professional Licensure. They will occupy floors six through 10, and will share IT facilities and public meeting spaces. The agencies are expected to take occupancy in December. Nordblom Development Co., the parent company of Nordic, will oversee the tenant build-out, and Nordblom Management Co. will oversee property management of the building.

It features a brand new lobby reception area with two outdoor plazas, a top-floor café, a lower-level fitness center and an attached 310-space parking garage.
