I believe Converse has moved. A friend who works for them posted a picture in Lawrence the other day saying "Last day of commuting!!"
I believe April 14th will be their first day of occupancy.
Okay. Maybe she's lucky enough to be going on vacation during the move.
Do you know where employees are supposed to park? To my knowledge no parking deals have been signed yet. Plenty of garage space in the area though.
Why would/should there be a parking deal? You park wherever you can. You're on your own, as you rightly should be when your place of work is located literally next to North Station. You take the T or you pay the price to park. It's not like my company in DTX has any parking agreements. If you want to drive in, you pay $40/day to park at one of the nearby garages.
This entire development (including the condo building going up next to it) is a net zero parking development.

My company in DTX will pay for T passes, but not parking. We are literally surrounded by all four subway lines.
I understand your point but save the lecture. I was asking because I work in parking--and yes my company has large corporate clients that pay for parking.
Are you aware of whether these corporate clients then turn around to their employees and charge them a lower, subsidised cost or is that not information often communicated back to your company?
From my understanding, the mentality of several suburban companies moving to the waterfront - *ahem* Vertex *cough cough* - is still very suburban and has caused a quiet and sustained kerfuffle with the city who is trying to manage expectations about how much parking they're willing to authorise for new development and road capacity.
Just in time for the awesome weekend weather:

Yes I understand that quite well. We have a few clients set up like that and their employees pay in the area of $5-$7/day. Much cheaper than the $25 daily rate.
Anyways, I wasn't arguing for more parking I was just asking a question.
BTW from what I hear Converse has leased parking spaces in the north end garage.
This used to be the most prominent ugliest building in Boston... Looks really good now.
+1. THIS is great news!
