The Rockport Group on Thursday announced that it has moved its global corporate headquarters to West Newton in Newton, Massachusetts.


The Rockport Group today announced the move of its global headquarters to Newton, Massachusetts.

 
The new 70,000-square-foot office is located at 1220 Washington St. and features an industrial-themed staircase, exposed brick, an open-concept cafeteria, and a main lounge area with a double-side fireplace.

Boston-based architectural firm Baker Design Group renovated the layout, and the space is owned and managed by Davis Marcus Partners, a venture of The Davis Companies and Marcus Partners Inc.

The Rockport Group President & CEO, Bob Infantino: "We are excited to call Newton the home of The Rockport Group's new global headquarters. We were founded in Massachusetts in 1971 and are proud to continue our legacy in the greater Boston area. Our head office is a hub for our employees around the world across all three of our brands – Rockport, Aravon and Dunham – and our heritage and commitment to the art of shoemaking is reflected in our new space."
 
Berkshire Partners and New Balance Holding, the investment arm of the company, acquired Rockport from Adidas for $280 million in 2015. The opening of the new headquarters comes 18 months after the acquisition.
