P&G Gillette said Tuesday it plans to purchase 232 A St. in South Boston as the future home of its Grooming Headquarters and Technical Innovation Center. The company will spend nearly $1 billion to develop the new center, not far from its longtime headquarters campus in Fort Point.
The site, currently owned by Breakthrough Properties, a joint venture of Tishman Speyer and Bellco Capital, is permitted for a 324,315-square-foot research and development facility, with ground-floor retail and multiple community benefits. In April 2025, Gillette also broke ground on a new manufacturing facility in Andover, MA.
“After a comprehensive search, we are pleased to have found a location that continues our longstanding history in this community, provides the right structure for our Technical Innovation Center, and supports neighborhood development,” said Gary Coombe, CEO of P&G Gillette. “Our new space will give our employees the tools, capabilities and environment to collaborate and inspire each other every day.”
The transaction was facilitated by CBRE, led by vice chairman Jonathan Varholak.
