New Balance Proposing New Office, Sports Complex In Massachusetts

New Balance is proposing to expand its Brighton, Mass., campus "with a new headquarters building, a track and field center, shops and restaurants, and a hockey rink," according to Ross & Rocheleau of the BOSTON GLOBE. The development would be located “on 14 acres the company wants to be known as Boston’s new ‘health and wellness district,’ on Guest Street near the Massachusetts Turnpike.” In addition to a new HQs, the company said that it “wants to build as many as three new office buildings that would be occupied by other ‘like-minded’ businesses, along with a boutique hotel, sports-related retail shops, restaurants, and a public park.” New Balance is “also seeking construction of a new commuter rail station" near the proposed development. A New Balance spokesperson declined to provide a cost estimate for the project, although a "prior version was valued at about $250 million.” The company will spend “the next several months meeting with community groups and city officials to craft a more detailed vision for the site” (BOSTON GLOBE, 2/2).
