New Balance May Build Employee-Only Rooftop Track At Company's New HQs

New Balance may “build an outdoor track atop its new corporate home, a rectangular structure that’s part of a $500 million real estate development on 14 acres” in Brighton, Mass., according to Greg Turner of the BOSTON HERALD. The rooftop track “would be for employee use only,” and the employee “perk would be in addition to the 200-meter, hydraulic-banked track inside a large sports center that New Balance would build on Guest Street and make available for public use.” New Balance Real Estate Dir Ty Hanlan said the sports facility would have a “full floor devoted to track and field events, where we will be able to host NCAA events -- even Olympic trials,” with seating for 4,000 spectators. The building also would have “a 1,000-seat hockey rink, health club-related space and medical offices.” New Balance is “on track to start construction next spring and fully build out the 14-acre development by 2017” (BOSTON HERALD, 9/28).
