The developer of Liberty Wharf in Boston’s Seaport District has completed office leasing for the complex, signing new deals this week with the software firm RStudio and the law firm Hayes Bostock and Cronin.

The leases cap a sweeping transformation of the Northern Avenue property, which was formerly occupied by the restaurant Jimmy’s Harborside. It is now home to a sleek glass building with offices and four new restaurants, including Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouse and the three-story Legal’s Harborside.

In addition to RStudio and Hayes Bostock and Cronin, the public relations firm Fama PR signed a deal this to expand its offices in the complex. The firm now occupies about 14,000 square feet at Liberty Wharf. Leasing was handled by the real estate services firm Jones Lang LaSalle.

“Liberty Wharf has grown to become one of the most popular destinations in Boston,” said Mayor Thomas M. Menino, who has re-named the Seaport Boston’s Innovation District. “The new tenants join more than 100 companies and 3,000 jobs that have moved to the area since 2010.”

Cresset completed construction of Liberty Wharf last year. Designed by Elkus Manfredi Architects of Boston, the complex includes three buildings with 73,000 square feet of office and retail space. The new restaurants also include Temazcal Tequila Cantina and Jerry Remy’s Sports Bar & Grill. It has yet to lure a fifth restaurant to fill a small glass kiosk along Northern Avenue.
