Renting Retail Space in Boston

Retail demand in Boston reflects a mix of legacy urban storefronts and new retail models emerging in lifestyle centers and mixed-use developments. TenantBase data shows that 33% of retail tenants are searching for leases of three years or less, while a notable 34% are targeting lease terms of five years or more. This reflects strong participation by both independent retailers and established regional brands.

Boston’s retail energy is particularly strong in walkable urban areas like Back Bay, Downtown Crossing, and Fenway, as well as vibrant town centers in places like Somerville and Brookline. Retailers continue to prioritize access to residential foot traffic and multimodal transit. The dual demand for both flexibility and long-term stability signals a maturing, yet active, storefront ecosystem.
