South Station Tower, shown under construction from Fort Point, has signed its first office tenant. The building will open next year.

South Station Tower, a 51-story mixed-use building rising above Boston’s busiest transit hub, has signed its first office tenant: the law firm Jones Day.

Jones Day’s lease is not for a particularly huge block of space: just two floors and a total of 41,000 square feet. But it’s a start for the long-planned tower at a time when the region’s office vacancy rate remains high at 23%, according to Colliers.
