JPMorganChase is deepening its roots in Boston, announcing Tuesday that it will move its local offices to the new South Station Tower in 2028, making it the tower’s anchor tenant. 

The relocation signals the global financial firm’s continued expansion in Massachusetts, as the bank expects to open its 100th branch later this year. 

“We are excited to deepen our roots in Boston and invest in the city’s future,” said Rick MacDonald, JPMorgan’s New England region manager for commercial banking, in a statement. “The move to South Station Tower represents a new chapter for our firm in Boston.”

JPMorganChase will occupy eight-and-a-half floors, which is about 250,000 square feet of the tower. The space will house about 1,000 employees. As part of the expansion, the company said it will add 300 jobs in the next several years. 

In addition, the firm will continue holding onto its location at 451 D St., which has 800 employees. 

Already, JPMorganChase has more than 1,600 employees working in the city through its corporate offices and Chase branches. 

The move will allow the company to bring its employees under one roof in a convenient location. South Station sits above Amtrak service to New York City, where the company’s newly opened headquarters are based. 

Chase opened its first retail branch in Massachusetts in 2018. It has since grown to 92 branches statewide. 

“Reflecting on our journey in New England, it’s incredible to see how much JPMorganChase has expanded and evolved over the years,” said Stephen Burbage, JPMorgan’s head of institutional sales and marketing in Boston. “Our growth in the city has been remarkable.”

In December, the bank applied to the city to mount “JPMorgan” in 12-foot letters on top of the building. According to a JPMorgan spokesperson, the city is still reviewing the application. 

South Station Tower is owned and developed by Hines, a global real estate investment manager. The building rises 51 stories above the transit hub and has 680,000 square feet of office space. 

The developers have been working to fill the building since it first opened in September, after taking more than two decades to complete. 

The top 16 floors of the tower are Ritz-Carlton condominiums. Other soon-to-be office tenants include the hedge fund Citadel, law firm Jones Day, and property insurer FM.

The Boston Red Sox entered the 2025 season with one of the very best farm systems in baseball. The club proceeded to bring Roman Anthony, Marcelo Mayer and Kristian Campbell all up to the big leagues at points.

All three have graduated from prospect status. Despite this fact, the Red Sox still boast one of the best farm systems in the game, even after trading a handful of guys away this past offseason, including Jhostynxon García and Brandon Clarke. Boston’s farm system is still stacked. Throughout Spring Training, guys like Payton Tolle, Franklin Arias, Connelly Early, Justin Gonzales and Jake Bennett have gotten most of the buzz. But another guy Red Sox fans should get to know right now is 2025 second-round pick Henry Godbout.

Godbout can play second base, shortstop and third base and was selected in the second round of the 2025 MLB Draft by Boston out of the University of Virginia. He played in 13 games for High-A Greenville and slashed .341/.473/.477 with a .950 OPS. Right now, Godbout is the team’s No. 11 prospect. But don’t be shocked if he moves up the list quickly.

The Red Sox’s farm system is loaded

While speaking to Andrew Parker of Baseball Now, Godbout opened up about how Driveline philosophies embraced by the Red Sox has already added a bit of power to his game that wasn’t there even last year when he was drafted.

“It’s very new to me because UVA is probably the opposite of Driveline,” Godbout said to Baseball Now. “It’s all about hitting balls the other way, moving guys over, hitting the ball on the ground, and bunting. That is completely opposite of what we are doing over here, in a good way. It’s perfect for me and I knew this going into it by talking to Kyle Teel. I do a lot of those other things very well. Adding the ability to step on balls and pull them over the fence is the last piece of the puzzle. I think it’s the perfect marriage.

“There are obviously a couple of hiccups along the way, but that is part of it. I am learning that I don’t need to just gear up and take a long swing to create power. It might just come [by] swinging these bats and being in the bat speed program. This spring has been great being able to test things out. It is really a great system for me to take my game to the next level.”

Parker pointed out that things have already started clicking and Godbout launched a homer at Fenway South this past weekend during minor league Spring Training action.

So, Godbout currently is Boston’s No. 11 prospect. In 2025, he didn’t hit a homer in his 13 games of professional action. He had eight homers in his final college season across 50 games for UVA. If he can still be the high-average guy, plus add power in 2026, this guy is going to significantly rise up Boston’s prospect list. The future is bright for the Red Sox overall and it sounds like the club’s hitting approach is already having a positive impact down in the minors.

The Boston Celtics have built their teams in a number of ways over the decades, but few if any methods have born more fruit than through the NBA draft. The best players to suit up for the Celtics have, by and large, come to Boston either through being taken directly in the annual event, or via trades made that night.

And it is not just the top stars who have been picked up by the Celtics via the draft. Countless members of the storied ball club’s alumni have been taken by the team, and some schools are better represented than others. We can see blue blood programs and some very small schools both delivering top talent to Boston’s rosters over the years, so we decided to take a look at which players came from which schools overall.
