Where Purpose Meets Polish: Inside BXP’s New Boston Regional Office
BXP, the largest publicly traded developer, owner, and manager of premier workplaces in the U.S., recently relocated its Boston regional office within the Prudential Tower, moving from the 18th to the 16th floor. The 28,000-square-foot space was a chance to realign the workplace with BXP’s culture — one that values innovation, collaboration, and a polished, high-performance environment. Red Thread supported the transformation through sit tests, showroom tours, and collaborative workshops that informed a detailed, tailored furniture package. The new office includes 35 private offices, 4 huddle rooms (one in each departmental neighborhood), and approximately 50 assigned workstations (nearly all Steelcase) creating a balanced environment for heads-down work and impromptu collaboration.
At the heart of the space is a central “Main Street” that connects community zones and leads to a lounge designed for strategic conversations and internal celebrations. Throughout the workplace, a jewel-box aesthetic elevates the experience; not in scale, but in detail. Height-adjustable desks, layered textures, and thoughtfully selected materials like velvet and warm wood tones bring richness to each zone. Custom lighting, including downlights and uplights, adds depth and warmth, while the café glows like hidden gem as the heart of the space — intimate, inviting, and a little unexpected. Every design element was chosen to reflect BXP’s brand, reinforce its culture, and create an environment that’s as polished as it is purposeful. With this relocation, BXP has crafted a high-performance, thoughtfully detailed space that supports its people today and anticipates the needs of tomorrow.
