SimpliSafe Upgrades To 150K SF In Financial District Relocation

Security systems maker SimpliSafe is more than doubling the size of its current headquarters with a new Financial District lease.

SimpliSafe signed a 150K SF lease at Rockpoint Group’s 100 Summer St. tower and will move into the space next fall, the company announced Monday. It is an upgrade from its 70K SF home at 294 Washington St., and SimpliSafe’s new office will be designed with flexibility in mind for the firm’s hybrid workforce, executives said. 

"We've heard from our employees that they want to have a centralized location where they can come together to collaborate and engage in person, while still having the flexibility and autonomy that comes with working from home,” SimpliSafe Chief People Officer Ai-Li Lim said in a statement.

The company’s employees are currently working remotely. The new space at the 1.1M SF, 32-story skyscraper will include a variety of independent workspaces, focus pods and collaborative spaces. The IA Interior Architects-designed office will also include exclusive roof deck patio space, a lab and makerspace for SimpliSafe’s product and engineering teams. 

The security firm’s new headquarters will supplement a new Taunton warehouse and a new customer care center in Richmond, Virginia. The expansion was made in partnership with Cushman & Wakefield and Newmark. 

The announcement comes as local office users line up future office plans amid a flurry of leasing activity. Investment management firm Eaton Vance last week confirmed its own relocation plan of moving into the One Post Office Square tower, although it hasn’t finalized its footprint.
