Boston, MA Nordblom Company, in partnership with Alcion Ventures, have purchased 135 Morrissey Blvd. (the former Boston Globe headquarters), a 700,000 s/f building on 16.5 acres.
135 Morrissey Blvd. is near-adjacent to the MBTA’s Red Line JFK/UMass station, and abuts I-93, providing highway access and visibility. First constructed by The Boston Globe in 1958, the property is an enduring icon in this neighborhood of the city.
“We’re excited about our purchase of 135 Morrissey Boulevard, the latest addition to our Boston portfolio,” said Og Hunnewell, partner of Nordblom. “We look forward to working closely with our neighbors and the BPDA, to bring to life our vision of an urban innovation campus - where Boston’s businesses think bigger, act bolder, and move Boston’s ‘next’ economy forward.”
