Jones Lang LaSalle is the leasing agent for Seaport Center
Shorenstein Properties LLC, which recently completed its purchase of Seaport Center, said Tuesday that has hired Jones Lang LaSalle to be the exclusive leasing agent for the Boston office building.

In a statement, Jones Lang LaSalle managing director Benjamin Heller suggested that the Seaport Center would be an ideal location for both traditional businesses and emerging companies in the technology and life-science fields.
The Seaport Center is currently 94 percent leased, and tenants include the Boston Herald, Monster.com, JPMorgan Chase & Co., Boston Coach, and Verizon.
Headquartered in San Francisco, Shorenstein Properties is a private real estate investment company. Jones Lang LaSalle is a financial and professional services firm specializing in real estate.
