99 Summer St. close to capacity

New leases and expansion by existing tenants have brought the Boston office building at 99 Summer St. to 97 percent occupancy, building landlord Normandy Real Estate Partners said.

Headquartered in New Jersey, Normandy is a real estate private equity firm that is rapidly acquiring office properties in New England; it bought 99 Summer St. late last year, and the firm has its Boston offices there.

Normandy said it recently completed leases totaling more than 31,000 square feet at 99 Summer St.

Among the firms that recently leased space at 99 Summer St. with Normandy are FTN Financial, a financial-services company, and the Taipei Economic & Cultural Office, Normandy said.

Normandy's leasing broker for the building is CB Richard Ellis Group Inc., a California-based commercial real estate services firm.
