Brightcove Inc., a cloud content services company, has leased 82,000 square feet at Boston’s Atlantic Wharf at 290 Congress St.
The company will relocate from its current location at One Cambridge Center in April 2012.
Brightcove will undertake an expansion through its move, growing from its current footprint of 30,000 square feet. The company’s new space will occupy two floors and accommodate more than 400 employees.
Atlantic Wharf is a mixed-use development that includes a 31-story, Class A office tower, 30,000 square feet of retail and public space, residential units and a waterfront plaza. Boston’s first green skyscraper, the building is pre-certified LEED Gold, and is situated near South Station.
"I want to thank Brightcove for choosing to expand here," Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino said. "Boston continues to be an attractive place for innovative companies to locate because our collaboration can’t be beat. Brightcove’s new headquarters at Atlantic Wharf will allow them to connect with the cluster of companies and amenities that are growing and thriving in the Innovation District."
"Brightcove continues to expand rapidly, and so we are excited at the opportunity to grow our corporate headquarter operations in Boston," said Brightcove CEO Jeremy Allaire. "Atlantic Wharf is a world-class complex that offers unparalleled access and amenities for our employees and customers, and will enable us to continue to grow and scale to meet customer demand from around the world."
"Brightcove was drawn to the combination of location and amenities that define high performance work space at Atlantic Wharf," said Bryan Koop, senior vice president and regional manager for Boston Properties. "Easily accessible and reflective of the company’s culture, their new space will be the perfect spot for Brightcove to continue innovating for the future."
John Boyle, Will Foley, Ted Lyon and Joe Fallon of FHO Partners represented Brightcove in the transaction. The landlord, Boston Properties, was self-represented by Senior Vice President of Leasing David Provost, Vice President of Leasing Phil Dorman and Leasing Representative Patrick Mulvihill.
