Mary Lentz, EVP, McCall & Almy

Mary's biggest deal to date: repping Partners HealthCare for its build-to-suit at Assembly Row of 750k SF (occupancy Q2 '16) with control over 1.1M SF is the most significant deal this top tenant broker has done. Federal Realty’s $1.5B, mixed-use Assembly Row is transforming Somerville from a C to an A location. But the job creation that would be needed to revitalize locations like I-495 hasn’t materialized, she says. Mary started as a public accountant and then did tax-oriented real estate syndications.
