PwC is the newest tenant to migrate from the Financial District to the Seaport.  Having their home on High Street of 376,650 square feet to settle into 333,500 might seem like a downsize, but in fact, they are simply more efficient.  The use of hot, swappable workstations will be one of the key drivers to the firm requiring a smaller footprint.

According to the Boston Business Journal, “the company moved into the space Tuesday from its former Boston headquarters at 125 High St. It occupies all but four floors of the building, located at the intersection of Seaport Boulevard and Boston Wharf Road. One floor houses a 4,000-square-foot gym that’s free for all employees, while the street level will eventually feature retailers. The glass exterior of the building, on which the firm has a 15-year lease, features a PwC logo. The lobby at PwC’s new location on Seaport Boulevard in Boston takes advantage of natural light.”

Belkin is one of eight developers chasing the development opportunity at the Winthrop Square parking garage site. His plan is after a 24/7 model that incorporates a live, work play them that embraces the “Café Culture” of today.

From the Boston Globe:

At the centerpiece of Belkin’s 740-foot office and residential tower is an innovation center, one designed for entrepreneurs and those who aspire to be one. The description itself may be eye-glazing or eye-rolling at a time when everyone claims to be innovative, but to hear Belkin explain it, you feel like he’s onto something big. It’s an idea that could go a long way to break down the walls that divide our business community, ones that keep Kendall Square and Innovation District types from mingling with those in the Financial District.
