The Sox are leaving Fenway Park. Or, at least, their office staff is getting new digs.
The Boston Red Sox have leased the top three floors of a 13-story Boylston Street office steps from the ballpark, and will vacate their offices inside the historic venue itself.
The move is a consolidation that will bring office employees of the Sox, its ownership conglomerate Fenway Sports Group, and marketing company Fenway Sports Management together under one roof. They’re currently spread among three offices in the ballpark at 4 Jersey St. and at nearby 82 and 98 Brookline Ave.
“This is an interim office solution and does not change our long-term plans for the proposed Lansdowne Street building or our broader commitment to the Fenway Corners project, which we continue to advance,” Sox spokesperson Zineb Curran said in a statement.
Fenway Sports Group last year proposed a seven-story office on what’s now a two-story parking garage between the Green Monster and the Massachusetts Turnpike. That 250,000-square-foot office would be the first phase of the $1.6 billion Fenway Corners mixed-use project, planned in partnership with WS Development, which calls for eight new buildings on the streets encircling Fenway Park.
John Henry, The Boston Globe’s publisher, is principal owner of Fenway Sports Group.
The Sox will be moving into the Boylston Street office as another neighborhood stalwart departs. Chef Tiffani Faison, citing “challenges and dynamics of the restaurant industry,” said restaurants Sweet Cheeks Q and Fool’s Errand at 1381 and 1377 Boylston St. will close this fall.
The 13-story mixed-use building at 1325 Boylston St. opened in 2015 and includes office space, 172 apartments, and a three-level, 170,000-square-foot Target store. Its developer, Boston-based Samuels & Associates, spearheaded the redevelopment of much of the modern Fenway neighborhood.
“We are delighted to welcome the Red Sox operations team to 1325 Boylston Street, where they will be joining a diverse array of innovative companies that value The Fenway neighborhood and its robust mix of amenities and opportunities for connection and collaboration,” said Peter Sougarides, Samuels’ co-president and principal, in a statement.
The 100,493-square-foot lease includes exclusive rights to a portion of the building’s roof deck and “non-exclusive rights regarding signage,” indicating the building could eventually see Sox, FSG, or FSM branding join the large Target logo on the building’s facade.
The lease is dated June 30 but was not recorded in Suffolk County property records until this month. The five-year lease begins Nov. 1 and extends through 2032, though the Sox have an option to extend for another five years after that.
The Sox have not yet finalized plans for the future use of their office space inside Fenway.
