Featured Project: Cargurus
CarGurus, a leading U.S. automotive marketplace for buying and selling vehicles, recently consolidated its headquarters into a central location in Boston’s Back Bay. This move brought together nearly 1,000 employees who had previously worked in separate offices in Cambridge, uniting them on the top ten floors of a new 20-story building.
Our Latest Projects
The unique spaces we create for our customers speak for themselves.
With the return to office and intense competition for talent, CEOs are prioritizing company culture. Real estate is not only a vital financial asset but also the stage where we craft environments that enhance employee connections. We take pride in understanding each company’s unique culture and translating that essence into their workspace design.

One integrated hub built for how projects move today.
Red Thread Andover Central Hub
Andover represents the next evolution of how Red Thread supports clients across the full project journey. Bringing warehouse operations, workplace solutions,and technology together under one roof, the 95,000 square foot facility was designed to improve coordination, reduce complexity, and create a moreconnected experience from planning through delivery.
Built as both a high-performing operations hub and a working showroom, Andover gives clients the opportunity to experience how furniture, walls, andtechnology work together in real environments while supporting the behind-the-scenes coordination that keeps projects moving forward.
A Working Showroom Built for the Midmarket
At the center of the space is a working showroom designed specifically around midmarket solutions, balancing progressive workplace thinking with practicalday-to-day functionality. Rather than showcasing one-size-fits-all applications, the environment highlights flexible, approachable solutions that support a widerange of organizations, budgets, and workplace needs.
Clients can explore one of the most comprehensive PurOptima wall displays in the U.S., featuring a wide range of architectural wall applications, hardware,and finishes. Real-world environments, mock-up areas, and collaborative customer spaces also provide opportunities for hands-on evaluation and project-specific conversations.
A More Connected Experience
Designed to strengthen collaboration across teams, Andover helps streamline communication and reduce handoffs throughout complex projects. By bringingoperations, technology, and workplace expertise into one centralized environment, teams can coordinate earlier, move faster, and problem solve moreeffectively. Behind the scenes, integrated workflows improve visibility and efficiency across planning, staging, testing, and delivery.
Designed to Adapt
The facility was intentionally built to support flexibility as timelines, technologies, and workplace needs continue to evolve.
Key features include:
- High-density warehouse storage with 36-foot vertical racking
- Dedicated technology lab for testing and validation
- Flexible spaces for mock-ups, training, and client walkthroughs
- Customer lounge areas for hands-on collaboration and evaluation
- Integrated warehouse and technology workflows designed to improve project flow
Together, these environments support smarter coordination behind the scenes while creating a more seamless client experience up front.
Built Around How People Work
Andover was designed around real workflows across operations, technology, and workplace teams. Spaces throughout the facility support focus, collaboration,and adaptability while encouraging stronger connection between departments.
Shared environments, including a centralized café positioned between the warehouse, operations teams, and technology lab, were intentionally designed tobring people together and encourage more natural collaboration throughout the day. Interior windows and adjacent team spaces create greater visibilitybetween departments while also giving clients a visual connection to the behind-the-scenes coordination, testing, and operational work happening throughout the space.
Rooted in the Merrimack Valley
Located in Andover, Massachusetts, the facility strengthens Red Thread’s growing network of showrooms, warehouses, and workplace environments acrossNew England, including Boston, East Hartford, Stamford, Portland, Manchester, Marlborough, Gorham, and Burlington, while complementing the company’sexisting operations center in North Haven, Connecticut. With convenient access to I-93 and I-495, Andover supports stronger regional collaboration and a moreconnected experience for clients and teams across the region.
Blending operational performance with workplace experience, Andover reflects Red Thread’s continued investment in creating environments designed tosupport what’s next.

GLOBAL INVESTMENT FIRM RELOCATES HQ FOR NEXT CHAPTER
Confidential Financial Services Company
A leading global private markets firm moved its HQ to Boston’s bustling Financial District, spanning 256,068 SF across 11 full floors. Surrounded by Boston’s innovative community, the new location reflects the organization’s commitment to evolving its workplace alongside the needs of its people and the growth of its business. As one of Boston’s most significant office development relocations in 2025, Red Thread was honored to play a key role in helping bring their workplace vision to life.
We worked alongside the team to design furniture layouts that bring flow, consistency, and purpose to the space. The new environment features workstations and conference rooms along with private and shared offices curated from 25 leading vendors such as Steelcase and Halcon. Elevated, high performance conferencing solutions, including custom stone surfaces, reinforce the refined aesthetic of the space. Each floor includes a thoughtful mix of open and enclosed environments that support both focused work and cross functional teamwork. Open collaboration areas encourage informal meetings and day-to-day team interaction, while enclosed spaces such as conference rooms and huddle rooms provide dedicated settings for more structured conversations and privacy when needed.
Modular wall systems enhance both functionality and flexibility within the workplace. These demountable wall solutions define enclosed offices and meeting spaces while glass-front applications help maintain visibility and maximize access to natural light. A combination of bespoke wall solutions, including systems from Steelcase and PurOptima, deliver on both functional demands and visual appeal. The flexible wall solutions also support future reconfiguration, allowing the headquarters to evolve alongside organizational needs while maintaining a cohesive and high-performing workplace.
“Throughout every step of this process, Red Thread operated as a true partner and extension of our own team,” said Colleen Anderson, VP. “Between weekly calls, site visits, and frequent check ins, it was their ability to communicate clearly and collaborate seamlessly that enhanced our relationship and allowed the project to finish at scale, on budget, and on time.”
Our team also supported the delivery and installation of 25,000 unique pieces of furniture through our warehouse while the Lifestyle Group at Red Thread assisted with final accessories to create a sense of lived-in comfort. Accent lighting and layered textures add warmth and depth as subtle moments of color bring energy, complementing the overall sophistication of the space.
To help adoption of the new space, we supported teams through the transition with an on-site ergonomist and custom visualizations. Our partnership will continue to support their goals beyond this project and evolve alongside an enhanced workplace and technology strategy.

A people-first workplace designed for connection, comfort, and choice
Sanofi’s new headquarters at M Station West in Morristown sets a new benchmark for an employee-centered destination. Every aspect of the space—from its workstations to its wellness amenities—was designed to reflect the company’s culture, values, and commitment to its people.
Red Thread partnered with the project team to bring this vision to life through carefully curated furniture and finishes that balance performance and hospitality. We provided the workstations, huddle room furnishings, and task seating that support daily collaboration and focus, as well as inset and area rugs and first-floor ancillary furniture that infuse warmth and texture into shared spaces.
The result is an environment that feels both high-performing and human. A mix of open and enclosed settings promotes choice and flexibility, while thoughtful design details encourage creativity and connection across teams. Beyond the core workspace, amenities like a rooftop terrace, wellness suites, and an on-site clinic reinforce Sanofi’s dedication to employee well-being. Together, these elements create a workplace that does more than support work—it reimagines what it feels like to come together, collaborate, and belong.

Hospitality Comfort Meets Everyday Durability
2Life Communities: Opus Newton
Opus Newton brings a fresh approach to middle-market senior living, creating a warm, hospitality-inspired environment from the moment you step inside. Classic wingback chairs, natural light, and inviting textures set the tone for a campus designed around comfort and connection.
The 175-unit community is co-located with a low-income residence and community center, forming neighborhood with access to wellness, dining, and cultural programming. Working with Perkins Eastman and more than 40 vendor partners, elevated design was blended with the durability senior living requirements that include treated fabrics, hidden moisture barriers, and vetted materials, all work together to create elevated spaces built to last. It’s a careful balance that keeps the space feeling refined while standing up to everyday use.
Across the gathering spaces, salon, art room, gym, yoga studio, patios, and private balconies, the goal was simple: create spaces where residents can connect, move, and feel at home. As senior living continues to grow and evolve, projects like this show how thoughtful details can elevate both the experience and the longevity of the space.
