Tax and accounting consultants RSM US have signed a lease in Hartford’s Goodwin Square tower, bringing the property up to 89 percent occupancy.

Jon Putnam of Cushman & Wakefield represented ownership in the transaction. Craig Lemle of Savills represented RMS.

The lease covers 11,000 square feet of the tower at 225 Asylum St.

Since buying the tower at 40 percent occupancy in 2015, the tower’s owners – a partnership controlled by Westport Capital Partners, along with their joint venture partners Brian Kohn and Steve Kohn – have racked up several new leases, including Morgan Stanley and tech giant Infosys, whose arrival in the city was heralded as a new chapter in its downtown office market.

“To the best of my knowledge this is the only new lease signed since the end of the first quarter in downtown Hartford,” Putnam said in a statement. “RSM continues the positive trend of new companies being attracted to Hartford from the suburbs or outside of the area.”

Goodwin Square is located close the city’s main urban-suburban mass transit connections, the XL Center, Bushnell Park and several highway access points. Area amenities include the boutique Goodwin Hotel, a fitness center with showers and lockers, a conference center, indoor bike storage, an ATM, 24-hour security and a parking garage.
