Boston, MA Vantage Builders, Inc.completed a 4,750 s/f office buildout for SIGFOX at 545 Boylston St. in the Back Bay area of the city.

SIGFOX, a leader in the growing Internet of Things (IoT) industry, recently moved into the new 10th floor office, overlooking Boston’s historic Trinity Church. The company is headquartered in France.

A significant component of the project was the aggressive timeline.  The Vantage team was able to turn around the project quickly, completing the work in only six weeks. 

 Based on plans by architects Dyer Brown, the new office puts a premium on collaboration, while also allowing room for future growth. A huddle room, 12-person conference room and an open floorplan all support impromptu meetings.

The office features plentiful interior glass and newly installed, energy-efficient LED lighting, which, along with the building’s ample window line, create a bright atmosphere.  Artopex furniture is installed throughout, with open plan work stations and end user height adjustability. 

A new kitchen provides a break room for employees to gather.  Completing the build-out, Vantage performed HVAC work and added new paint, carpeting, and custom millwork.

545 Boylston St. is owned by Lincoln Property Company.  The project team included engineering services from C3.

“Boston is one of the leading tech hubs in the U.S., therefore it made sense to establish SIGFOX’s presence in this market,” said Michael Orr, vice president sales and partnerships, North America. 

“It was important to us that our North America headquarters office was inviting and functional with a hint of French charm and Vantage Builders was instrumental in bringing our vision for the North America headquarters office to life.”

Long-term interest rates have fallen by 100 basis points, and the market is normalizing. In December of 2022 I wrote an article about investing in a high interest rate, high inflation market. Since then, inflation has cooled off, and the Fed has begun lowering their funds rate.
