GE gets city nod for $200-million Fort Point HQ
By adamg on Wed, 11/02/2016 - 10:44am
The BPDA (formerly BRA) board yesterday approved GE's $200-million plans to turn two old Fort Point buildings into its new corporate headquarters.
In addition to housing GE brass and support staff, the buildings on Necco Court will house "Brilliant Lab" lab and work spaces available to BPS students and the public at large and a bistro and cafe. The company will also expand the neighboring Harborwalk and design the buildings for energy efficiency and to survive increasingly high tides as the seas rise.

"Building's" ??
Don't you mean the plural "buildings"? (Sorry - daughter of a teacher here...)
Or maybe a noun is missing?
design the building's [something] for energy efficiency?
Boooo don't be fooled by GE
GE polluted the housatonic river in pittsfield with dangerous PCBs chemicals from jet engine run off into the water. Many people got cancer as a result and were paid off by the company. Private citizen's land is still polluted with the pcbs and many animals and eco systems failed. even in 2016, GE is still screwing the berkshires: http://theberkshireedge.com/ge-intent-on-dumping-on-the-berkshires-with-...
In recent years, they've tried to reduce their environmental impact so I guess they deserve some credit for that but in this humble reader's opinion, it's too little too late, so they can take their business elsewhere. Boston should lead by example and show the world that big companies destroying this planet are not welcome in places of innovation.
This is all I am gonna say about GE
This is the end of the city as we know it.
New buildings and permanent jobs will ruin our schools and lead to crime and urban blight. The sooner we get Walsh out the better...
