Lego previously announced that they will be moving their American headquarters to Boston from Connecticut in 2026. But this week they revealed the location of their new campus. And they have chosen 1001 Boylston Street as that location in the Back Bay.
Lego Americas is currently based Enfield, CT and all current employees will be offers a position in the new Boston HQ shall they choose to accept.
Skip Kodak, president of Lego Group in the Americas, said that given Boston’s ranking as “one of the best cities in the world to attract and retain talent” is one of the main reasons they are choosing to make the move to the Bay State. “We have exciting plans for the next phase of growth and hope we can retain many of our current team, as well as attract new colleagues,” he added.
Because the move is not planned to be completed until 2026, employees will begin to transition to Boston in phases, which will begin in mid-2025. There is currently a “Lego Education Office” in the Back Bay and any new roles hired beginning now will be based out of that office. Kodak said, “We wanted to give our people plenty of time to plan their futures, so will implement a gradual transition over the next few years.”
The new office will be located in a big new development over the Mass Pike, which is known as Parcel 12. Developer Samuels & Associates stated that the property will feature storefront retail space, offices and a hotel--with Lego assumably being an anchor tenant.
