Jabra Moves Its Headquarters To Lowell, Massachusetts

12/19/2014
Jabra, a world leader in the development, manufacturing, and marketing of a broad range of communications and audio solutions, will move its North American headquarters to Cross Point in Lowell, Massachusetts. The new North America headquarters at Cross Point is in the heart of Boston's technology corridor at the intersections of Route 495, Route 3 and the Lowell Connector.

"Jabra is outpacing industry growth and winning new customers in NA every day, therefore we felt it was time for our physical headquarters location to be the sort of focal point we need for showcasing our technology to customers and recruiting the best talent available," Jabra North America president Pete Fox said. "The move to Cross Point allows us to create a space that has everything we need in a headquarters facility, from a highly branded environment for our employees and guests to a Jabra Experience Center to demonstrate our intelligent audio solutions," Fox continued.

The landmark location is thirty minutes from Logan International Airport and is comprised of three interconnecting towers totaling over 1.2 million square feet. Anchor Line Partners and Farallon Capital Management, L.L.C. acquired Cross Point in June and began significant renovations in August. Jabra's move is scheduled for early 2nd Quarter 2015.

Once complete, the Cross Point campus will feature fresh on-site amenities such as innovative meeting spaces, a new fitness center with yoga studio and an open recreational space for activities including a golf simulator, a renovated cafeteria, planned full-service restaurant, bike storage and a brand new on-site day care.

"Jabra's focus is on creating the devices that make communications, collaboration and content creation work for our customers – and we live this workstyle ourselves, given that many of us don't work from headquarters," North America Senior Director of Marketing Kelly Myers said. "Putting our North American headquarters in a location that is easily accessible, represents our brand image, and creates a great place for collaboration is another real reason to get together and bring clients and partners into our space. That's what we'd call the new way of working."
