About Back Bay

Clearing an office in Back Bay

Back Bay's office market stretches along Boylston Street, Clarendon Street and Berkeley Street from the Public Garden west past Copley Square to the Prudential Center, between Commonwealth Avenue and the Massachusetts Turnpike. Investment firms, private equity, law firms, consumer brands and technology companies are the main tenants.

The stock includes landmark towers such as 200 Clarendon (the former John Hancock Tower) and the Prudential Tower, the 500 Boylston and 222 Berkeley complex, and newer buildings along Boylston Street, plus smaller office space in converted brownstones. Large towers have managed docks, freight elevators and garages with clearance limits, while brownstone offices have narrow stairs, small elevators and curb-only loading.

District snapshot: Back Bay had the lowest vacancy of Boston's three main office districts in Q2 2026 at 12.1%, with 16.7% availability, according to Lincoln Property Company. Source

Local best practices

Planning a Back Bay move-out

What experienced facilities teams account for in this district before the first desk comes apart.

  1. Avoid Patriots' Day week in April, when Boylston Street near the Boston Marathon finish line around Copley Square is closed and curb access disappears.
  2. Check the Red Sox home schedule before booking evening work on the western end of Boylston Street, since Fenway Park game traffic spills into Back Bay.
  3. Get a Boston Public Works street occupancy permit at least seven business days ahead when a truck or container will take street space outside a brownstone office.
  4. Confirm garage clearances at the Prudential Center and Copley Place complexes before dispatch, and book the dock window, since these buildings route freight through shared underground docks.
  5. Pull computers and monitors from the furniture load and send them to a certified recycler, because Massachusetts bans cathode ray tube monitors from landfills and incinerators.
