Amazonâs announcement last week that it would sign a lease on a building in the Seaport District to accommodate 3,000 new tech workers signaled an enormous vote of confidence in downtown Boston as a business hub, despite the COVID-19 pandemic.
Loomis, Sayles & Co. sent a signal, too, albeit a more nuanced one. The investment firm extended its lease at One Financial Center, the tower near South Station where the company has been since the 1980s, through 2037. But at 232,000 square feet, Loomis will occupy about one-third less space than it does today, giving back three floors.
