Two law firms – Murphy & Rudolf, LLP and Duddy, Goodwin, & Pollard – have signed leases of more than five years for a combined 9,000 square feet of office space at 446 Main Street, the former Worcester Plaza skyscraper.

Murphy & Rudolf, a firm specializing in criminal defense, civil litigation, and family law is relocating from its office at One Mercantile Street in Worcester, said Brian Johnson and Jim Umphrey, brokers at Worcester real estate firm Kelleher & Sadowsky Associates.

Duddy, Goodwin & Pollard is a labor and employment; injury and disability law firm that is headquartered in Boston.

Boston-based Synergy Investments bought the tower at 446 Main St. in Worcester in 2019 for $16.5 million. The building’s long-time anchor tenant, Santander Bank, moved out of the building in 2021.

The firm has made improvements to the building’s HVAC system, elevators and renovations of common areas, including a tenant-only fitness facility and a WiFi lounge, according to Kelleher & Sadowsky.

At 24 stories, 446 Main Street is one of the two tallest buildings in Worcester. The Sky Mark Tower, now rebranded as The 6Hundred, is also 24 stories.
