Super Bowl VI MVP and NFL Hall of Famer Roger Staubach could predict Super Bowl LI’s victor based on Tom Brady and Matt Ryan’s performances, but the JLL Americas executive chairman used his real estate chops to call another victory for the Patriots.

Boston’s diverse job market of healthcare, education, technology, finance and life science can be seen in the 2% year-over-year job growth. In Q4 2016, Boston had one of the most active quarters on record and absorbed 3M SF of office leases larger than 20k SF. Two-thirds of those leases were for growing companies, according to JLL research.

Tech companies accounted for 40% of the overall activity in Q3 2016.
