The Boston Consulting Group Announces Move to Tishman Speyer's Pier 4 Development - Seite 2

Currently, BCG occupies 146,000 square feet of space at its two downtown office locations: Exchange Place and One Beacon. BCG has been a tenant at Exchange Place for 31 years and at One Beacon for 8 years. At Pier 4, BCG will occupy seven floors, 7 through 13.

"Our work processes have changed dramatically in recent years. Disruptive technologies have brought new opportunities for both virtual and physical collaboration, and an increasingly diverse workforce with new expectations is challenging us to continually innovate in our workplaces," said Kathryn Bell, a BCG partner and the managing director of the One Beacon office, who also is the partner responsible for BCG's global real estate.

 "Pier 4 gives us a unique opportunity to bring our workplace strategy to life, giving our people choice from among a rich variety of workspaces, and innovative technology to support productivity and simplify the work process. The ultimate goal is to shape a vibrant, enjoyable workplace experience, inspiring people to build relationships and share insights to deliver outstanding client value," Bell continued. 

Bartletta added, "We want this to be a place where employees want to spend time. It will be designed to enable and accelerate the development of innovative solutions and direct engagement with our clients, our nonprofit partners, our alumni, and the wider Boston community."

Employees will have access to the on-site fitness center and will be encouraged to enjoy the nearby public spaces, including a one-acre waterfront park and the Boston Harbor Walk, which is being extended onto the property by Tishman Speyer. Pier 4 will also be home to a nine-story, 100-unit luxury residential building next door, designed by internationally prominent SHoP Architects in collaboration with local Boston firm CBT. Each of the buildings will feature 17,000 square feet of ground floor retail space.

"The Boston Consulting Group is one of our leading businesses in the city, and I'm pleased that they have decided to continue to invest in their Boston presence," said Mayor Martin J. Walsh. "BCG's move to the Seaport district highlights the expansive and exciting growth Boston is undergoing, and I am excited to see BCG add to the thriving business environment in the Seaport."

In the lease transaction, Michael Joyce and John Barry of Transwestern RBJ represented BCG and Tishman Speyer's Sam Schaefer and Brooks Brown represented ownership.
