General Electric HQ (Necco Buildings Reno) | 5 Necco Street | Fort Point

GE in its 3rd Q financials conference call said that the Farnesworth St lease expires end of this year [2019] and they will not renew it -- that implies that the new renovated complex on Necco will be occupied if not officially dedicated by the end of December 2019
 
I have no idea where Fort Pointer got this, but this is apparently the revised proposal...

I really like it.

That sets a good precedent massing and height for the 6+ acres next door and further down toward Broadway
 
Pardon me, I wasn’t sure where to put this but I do remember the northern ave bridge replacement being apart of the GE obligation. I can move if there is already a thread.

Why does the glass on the roof stop half way and turn into a metal shed? 🤦🏻‍♂️ Besides that it looks good.
 
It is, but thats why you put mechanicals above.

oh well a small mark on an otherwise great addition.
 
Is there a revised proposal of signage on the building? The industrial look is great, but this was designed as a support building and not the primary HQ of a company with $100B+ in revenue... Anybody seen an updated render?

Vagabond -- CEO Culp is a kinda-low-key-kinda-guy
When he ran Danaher Corp with its HQ in DC -- the HQ building could have been some anonymous Nixon-Carter era Federal Agency regional office

Nothing like what Jeff Immelt had in mind for GE with a Logo -- "You could see from Mars"

maybe they will just take the Logos off the temporary HQ on Farnsworth St.

The Danaher building in DC has no choice - - that's a typical downtown DC building, contextual to its surroundings. It's not as if the Chrysler Building is allowed there.

Danaher's leased space in this building is relatively small. The building is owned by Boston Properties and was formerly the site of the George Washington University Hospital. Historically, the cited photograph covers the space in the old hospital where the Ronald Reagan Emergency Room was located, as this was where Reagan was taken after he was shot.

so much for the "with a sign that can be seen from the moon!" (or whatever the quote was a few years ago)

I'm very glad the signage is smaller. Giant corporate logos increasingly read as tacky and wasteful, much like the giant compensation devices toys the execs buy once they reach c-suite.

That was said before they had to present to the Landmark's commission.

Chrisbrat -- that would be visible from Mars -- of course it was 2 CEOs ago --- and it was to be on the "New Part" of the Innovation Point Complex

Great to see that Innovation Point is alive and well --- as between
  1. what is in-front [Red Hat / IBM]
  2. and what will be in back -- both:
    1. on the site of the former "New GE HQ Bldg" -- 15 Necco St. --- by Alexandria Real Estate Equities and National Development
    2. and further back -- 244-284 A Street -- former parking lot to become a major R&D and mixed complex --- by Related-Beal
    3. and possibly even further back -- pending P&G / Gillette's plans for "World Shaving HQ" [which is visible from the Moon*1] 🤪

There will be a lot of Innovating happening at that point on the Fort Point Chanel

What could end up as the supreme irony of the whole GE Innovation Point saga --- if the new Alexandria Building -- soon to rise on the site of the former "Solar Veil Tower" -- became the HQ for the new --- Harvard, MIT, GE, Fujifilm, etc -- Biomedical Innovation And Manufacturing Center

Harvard, MIT, GE, FujiFilm And Hospitals Partner To Launch New Biomedical Innovation And Manufacturing Center

Harvard and MIT are teaming up with G.E., Fujifilm, and five of the region's research hospitals to build a new $50 million center for developing new genetic and cell therapies.

The institutions will work together at the new center to make breakthroughs in immunotherapy, cell therapies, gene editing, and other technologies, and will manufacture new experimental therapies on site for use in clinical trials.....

The new center, which doesn't have a name yet, will be located in the Greater Boston area, and officials say they hope it will be operating by the end of 2021. Leaders from Harvard, MIT, Fujifilm Diosynth Biotechnologies, GE Healthcare Life Sciences, and Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. will serve on the center's board of directors.

The participating hospitals are Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston Children’s Hospital, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Massachusetts General Hospital.

The healthcare technology company MilliporeSigma is also part of the collaboration.

Harvard, MIT and GE Will Collaborate on a New Biotech Center

A powerful consortium of some of the world’s most recognized names in higher education, health care, real estate and life sciences is collaborating to create a center for advanced biological innovation and manufacturing.

The $50 million first-of-its-kind center, which will be set up as an independent nonprofit, will explore regenerative therapies in a cross-sector environment that aims to shorten the gap between research, biomanufacturing and clinical application....

The facility does not yet have a home. Leaders from the consortium are exploring existing locations in Cambridge, Boston and Watertown to locate the center, which they expect to span between 30,000 and 40,000 square feet.

“Never before have we had so many breakthroughs available in the clinic. However, it can take up to 30 days, ‘needle to needle,’ to deliver a CAR-T therapy to a patient, and that does not take into account any of the bottlenecks in the supply chain that could occur along the way,” said Udit Batra, CEO of MilliporeSigma, in a statement. “It is our collective responsibility to eliminate any barriers to making these life-saving medicines accessible to patients everywhere.”
