**JPMorgan Eyes Signage Rights at South Station Tower Amid Lease Talks**
JPMorgan Chase & Co. is in advanced discussions to lease space in Boston’s South Station Tower and has now submitted a request to the City of Boston for signage rights atop the new skyscraper, according to the Boston Business Journal.
The financial services giant, while not having officially signed a lease, has filed an application to mount a prominent 77-foot-by-12-foot sign bearing its name on the tower’s roof. If confirmed, JPMorgan would be the fourth office tenant in the 51-story mixed-use building, marking a significant milestone for the project and a potential boost for Boston’s struggling office market, where vacancy rates currently exceed 20%.
Developed by Hines, the South Station Tower is set to become the sixth tallest building in Boston. In addition to office space, the tower includes 166 luxury condominiums branded by Ritz-Carlton on its upper floors.
The tower’s debut comes at the conclusion of a prolonged skyscraper development cycle in Boston and during a time of reduced demand for new office space, making JPMorgan’s involvement a potentially transformative win for the property and the city.
