Boca News Update

Mutual of America Life Insurance Co. has sold its Boca Raton office campus for a combined $23.75 million, paving the way for a major redevelopment.

The 11.7-acre property at 1150 NW Broken Sound Parkway was purchased in two transactions—$16.875 million by Broken Sound Boca LLC and $6.875 million by MBAL Commercial Owner LLC. The buyers are a partnership that includes Ram Real Estate, Butters Construction & Development, and Altman, part of BBX Capital Corp.

Under the redevelopment plan, Ram Realty will oversee the multifamily component, while Butters will take the lead on the industrial portion. The campus currently features a 76,761-square-foot office building occupied by Mutual of America, which has until July 2026 to relocate before the structure is demolished.

Approvals are already in place for a 287-unit apartment community with a seven-story parking garage offering 481 spaces. The residential plan includes 29 affordable units and 15 workforce units. The industrial section is slated for 63,624 square feet of small-bay warehouse and office space across two two-story buildings, along with 136 parking spaces (1)

The sales proceeds will help cover severance packages for the upcoming layoffs and restructuring, and help the company turn its first profit in 8 yrs.

Sales down bad at northpark

Now because Plano is going to close. They threw out a fig leaf. They want to keep flagship open..Taxpayers already bailed it out.

Hope the city council doesn't give more money to this debt ridden company . While legitimate things could occur...I know Nordstrom would never do such and I support them. Even if their stuff is tame. Bloomingdales is looking at this market as ripe besides panned store in Frisco.


El Segundo Office to Close

I heard from our AVP and SVP today that all of our department’s roles in El Segundo are being made redundant and backfilled to Dallas. So it’s either pack up your bags and join the herd in Downtown Dallas or leave.

Exactly how bad is it down there in Dallas. I hear the commute, parking, and desks are an issue. How does a Fortune 50 company have such major real estate problems?


No agua an El Segundo = No RTO

Even the plumbing gods hate RTO. El Segundo office closed today due to no running water. Hopefully the rain expected this weekend will make for a nice long, slow repair process. Doubt it but it would be nice. Great to be to work without distractions and a pointless commute even if it’s only for a day or two.


Is there talk of shutting down the Ravinia office in Atlanta?

I have this feeling I’m not long for my current position anymore if that happens. I work under John Blanchards org and we just had a layoff in August. I think I’m being paranoid but since Srini is taking over soon… I just don’t know. The market is brutal now and I’m job hugging like a motherf----rI’m not ready to leave yet.

Has any C-Level exec ever been to the Atlanta office?


Minnesota Cut

Upper management in Bloomington was just briefed this morning by Atlanta and Dallas that due to high costs, low productivity, high absenteeism, non-collaborative local union and unfavorable politics for business, the Minnesota office will be announced 12/15/25 complete closure by end of first quarter for all orgs and work groups at that premise. Facilitating ease is that the current lease shall be terminated 3/31/26 as the new property owner has other plans for the site. All union workers will receive the termination plan per contract and management employees will be advised of their severance pay. Costs need to be cut and the Minnesota location does not align with the company's plans.


Wells Fargo Dallas office issues for Denver/Frisco

Grand opening of the new state of the art office in Dallas may become a big issue for Denver’s neighbors in the cash register building.

Possible that WF will look to relocate/layoff associates and minimize or close that office in the future. Making soon to be let go TIAA Denver associates job hunts more difficult … while also instantly make it even harder than it already is to find that fresh young talent in Frisco at TIAA….

What a tremendous job by TBD and her team of talented executives including puff daddy’s right hand man and the the Texas location “worm in the ear” started by smart people in the late great Herb Alison leadership and his team that was the greatest leadership era of our time before TBD who will only surpass his excellence.

HP San Diego, the end of an era

HP San Diego Closure, the end of an era (the era when HP put employees above stock price).

"The handling of the closure of HP’s San Diego office has been a mess. Some people have received move or exit packages and know their last day and others have received nothing. We are being told that it is with HR and only they know. The site is closing on Oct 31 so the final date is known but nothing else is. Anyone else seeing this? This is really disappointing how badly this is being handled."

LA office to close

I heard from an AVP and SVP that T is exiting out of the LA buildings by early next year. It seems with the DirecTV sell off being completed, the company has no need to maintain office space or further operations there.

Anyone else located in LA hear anything? Are they being laid off and offered severance or told to relocate to Dallas first before that becomes an option? Does it make sense to relocate to Dallas in such an event?


Walgreens to exit Chicago’s Old Post Office building...ADIOS

Walgreens plans to exit its space at Chicago’s Old Post Office, though its headquarters remains in Deerfield, the company confirmed Monday — news that comes shortly after the sale of Walgreens to a private equity firm.

Walgreens will leave the massive, riverfront structure in January, as the company aims to “renew our focus on our stores and customer experience,” said spokesperson Fraser Engerman.

“Our commitment to serving communities across the country begins in our pharmacies and retail locations, and this decision reflects our continued prioritization of those investments,” Engerman said.
Engerman declined to say how many employees now work at the Old Post Office. But Walgreens moved many of its digital and IT employees there in early 2020, making it one of the first tenants in the building after it was renovated into an upscale office property.


Cut the bloat in upper SC instead of actual workers

There is no reason to have so many layers of management in the US for the supply chain group and I'm sure the same applies to other groups like polaris, gbs, emtec.
A prime example of bloat is the COE group in materials management full of people who aren't experts of anything but are the ones making over complex processes that fail and promoting made up savings figures to justify their jobs in houston. Why close our offices in sg and in canada when we have this bloat in likely every organization within XOM. Shame on SG and the VPs with their lies when EMSC was introduced.


Any Updates On San Ramon

I am on vacation in Barcelona and have not seen anything in my email on the San Ramon update. I keep hearing that we are shutting that office down sooner than later but I cant confirm.

If anyone has an update, I would like to hear it. I am on a special assignment for the next 2 years and have not been given a new job or required reporting date to Houston.

Office Closures?

Any one else hearing about the office closures and consolidations outside of the west coast?

Is your location impacted or is it just limited to San Diego, San Francisco and Long Beach? Seems strange when we are trying to bring people back to the office to collaborate and share.
