Companies continue to look to relocate downtown from outside the city, when they wish to attract younger technology talent. The profile of the new recruit is car-less and prefers walking or public transportation as their primary means of transportation.

A recent example of this migration is VMTurbo. The cloud technology company is moving from Burlington to 500 Boylston St. in the Back Bay.
