What Blake Commercial does

Blake Commercial is a Boston-based commercial real estate brokerage firm founded in 2012 that specializes in the sales and leasing of Class-A commercial properties throughout New England. The firm operates with a primary focus on Buyer & Tenant Representation, serving two core customer segments: national corporations and franchise clients seeking expansion representation (including retailers, banks, fitness brands, and restaurant chains), and private land owners and developers pursuing property sales, development opportunities, or land assemblages. Service offerings include market identification, site selection, and contract negotiation, with the firm licensed to operate in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut, and Rhode Island.

The firm generates revenue through transaction-based commissions on commercial real estate deals, with no publicly disclosed pricing model beyond standard per-transaction brokerage fee structures. Its go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, relying on direct client engagement with enterprise and mid-market counterparties, supplemented by a basic digital presence via Twitter. The firm does not offer discrete technology products or software modules; its offering is a unified brokerage service.

Cumulative track record includes over 500,000 square feet of retail space leased and approximately $55 million in aggregate investment sales closed, with a client portfolio spanning major national retailers (CVS Pharmacy, Verizon Wireless, T-Mobile, Bank of America, Charles Schwab), fitness brands (Blink Fitness, Orangetheory Fitness), restaurant chains (Dunkin Donuts, Boloco), and institutional owners/developers (Federal Realty Investment Trust, Boston Properties, Brixmor, Related Companies, WS Development). The firm is privately held with no disclosed external funding, employs 1-10 people, and is headquartered at 75 State Street, Suite 100, Boston, MA 02109.
