New ownership is moving Boston’s long-running tabloid out of its namesake city.
The Boston Herald will move its office from Related Beal's 451 D St. in the Seaport to 100 Grossman Drive in Braintree in late November, the paper’s publisher, Kevin Corrado, said in an internal memo sent to Herald staffers Tuesday. The relocation is expected to be completed by mid-December, the Herald reports.
The note to employees touts benefits like free parking, walking distance to public transportation and nearby restaurants like Panera Bread and Subway.
The newspaper was purchased for $12M in March by Digital First Media. The paper had filed for bankruptcy in December. Digital First has already made a string of layoffs since taking over the paper, including initial cuts that reduced the employee count from around 240 to 175. Another round of 10 to 15 layoffs was announced in June, the Boston Business Journal reported at the time.
The move to the Braintree Executive Park comes after six years in the Seaport. The tabloid spent the prior decades in the South End on what is now National Development’s Ink Block mixed-use development.
