The announced move
In November 2012, Boston City Properties reported that Fidelity Investments planned to move its headquarters from 82 Devonshire Street to 245 Summer Street in the Seaport area, then widely discussed as the Innovation District.
The article described 245 Summer Street as a roughly 900,000-square-foot building with approximately 60,000-square-foot floor plates that could support flexible office arrangements. Fidelity had already maintained a presence in the area for about a decade.
Details that remain unclear
The original account also mentioned a 1999 property purchase and approximately 2,900 employees, but did not clearly connect those details to one of the two addresses. They should not be assigned to either building without further evidence. The relocation described here is the company’s reported 2012 plan, not its current headquarters arrangement.
