Fidelity's HQ may go high
Fidelity Investments has started exploring the possible sale of its former headquarters block in downtown Boston, a storied site that’s expected to draw significant interest because it could be redeveloped with an office tower up to 400 feet tall.
The company hired broker CBRE New England to market its longtime home at 82 Devonshire St. and three adjacent buildings, either for sale or lease. And Fidelity’s team recently met with city planners to test the waters to see how developers could rework the property within zoning rules.
“Given its desirable location in the heart of the Financial District and on the edge of Downtown Crossing, we believe there are a number of attractive options for the buildings,” said Fidelity spokesman Vin Loporchio.
