Jones Lang LaSalle Construction has completed construction of Life is good's new headquarters. The lifestyle brand occupies the top two floors at 51 Melcher St. totaling 22,000 s/f.
Designed by Baker Design Group, the new space is a warm and welcoming work environment dedicated to supporting the Life is good team and its highly collaborative neighborhood groups. Adjacent to every neighborhood work group are a variety of different sized private conference rooms, as well as phone booths for individual calls. Within each neighborhood are a variety of community worktables, stand-up media-sharing tables, and living room groupings with lounge chairs, sofas, and large flat panel video displays for laptop or iPad presentations.
The office environments, meeting rooms, and collaborative social spaces welcome their industry colleagues, partners and friends within a relaxed setting. The office features all of the essential functions of a leading edge corporate office, integrated within a working environment that is as comfortable as their famous t-shirts, and as optimistic as company icon Jake.
"We are excited to be combining our three Boston offices under one roof," said Roy Heffernan, chief operating optimist for Life is good. "Along with our partners, we have created a unique and progressive space that will foster creativity and unity for the Life is good team."
"Jones Lang LaSalle Construction was privileged to work with Life is good and Baker Design Group to create this exciting new work space," said Steven Wassersug, Jones Lang LaSalle managing director. "Life is good is a major retail brand that gives back to the community promoting optimism and helping kids in need."
Joining Wassersug on the Jones Lang LaSalle Construction team was senior construction manager Brendan Boyle and senior estimator Chris Hardiman.
