    commercial real estate market leading national recovery Boston’s commercial real estate prices are fast approaching peak levels last seen in December 2007, while the local market as a whole is head-and-shoulders above the rest when comes to rebounding from the depths of the most-recent recession. That’s according to a new report by Moody’s Investors Service, which tracked commercial real estate prices in major markets throughout the United States during the 12 months ended Sept. 30. Moody’s said Boston was far and away the strongest commercial real estate market in the country during the period studied and was the closest to recovering the value lost during the downturn that followed the recession and 2008 financial crisis. The ratings firm said local CRE prices rose 10.4 percent in the 12-month span, tops among all major U.S. metros and well above the 8 percent growth logged by second- place New York. San by 5.7 percent and 7.5 percent as of Sept. 30. The local rebound appears to be prompting more property owners to test the market. Among them is The BlackStone Group, which according to multiple reports is actively marketing swaths of its real estate portfolio, including some 12 million square feet of space in Greater Boston. Nationally, commercial real estate prices have increased by 28 percent since hitting their January 2010 low point, but still remain 21.8 percent below their record highs reached five years ago, Moody’s said. Among the report’s other highlights was the fact that central business districts are leading the recovery, with property values rising nationally by 5 percent in the three months ended Sept. 30 and by 19.7 percent on a year- over-year basis. Also of note: Washington, D.C., which was the strongest market in the U.S. for several years running (prices spiked 42 percent between April 2009 and March 2011), has ground to a standstill amid concerns over U.S. Francisco ranked third in the Moody’s study, having recorded a 7.8 percent rise in prices over the past year. Moody’s said its commercial property price index rose nationally by 1.4 percent during the period analyzed. Boston also ranked as the best-performing CRE market in the country in terms of value recovered since the industry bottomed out in early 2010. According to the report, Boston’s commercial values are less than 1 percent below their market peak in December 2007. Washington, D.C., and New York were a distant second and third in reclaiming peak values, respectively falling short Game Changers

    News Office Building for State Street Bank Slated for Fort Point Channel Center The tax deal announced today will help finance construction of an 11- story office building for State Street at the Channel Center complex off A Street. The $11.5 million tax break, which still needs approval from the Boston Redevelopment Authority, will be spread over 15 years. Among the city’s largest financial services employers, State Street is the latest of several companies to win a tax break for new offices on the waterfront. Vertex Pharmaceuticals Inc. received more $21.8 million in city and state tax incentives for a pair of large office buildings nearby at Fan Pier. Such tax deals are often controversial, as the companies receiving them are often profitable. State Street, for example, reported net income of create 1,200 construction jobs. “State Street Bank & Trust Co is Boston’s seventh largest employer and keeping this economic giant in the city not only ensures that we are retaining jobs, but is a key to attracting new jobs and creating an economically successful and vibrant city,” Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino said in a statement. State Street could not be reached immediately for comment. The company has thousands of employees in Boston and already occupies some of its most prominent commercial buildings. Channel Center’s developer, Commonwealth Ventures, filed detailed plans for the office building last month, but State Street was not formally revealed as the tenant until today. The project will also include construction $1.92 billion in 2011 and paid its chief executive, Joseph Hooley, total compensation of $16 million, according to government filings. But city officials say the tax breaks are necessary to spur investment in the neighborhood. In 2008, investment bank JP Morgan Chase & Co. received a $4 million break to move to the waterfront. The tax concessions for State Street will reduce its tax bill by about 20 percent, but the company will still pay $43.4 million in new taxes over the 15-year period and
