Gillette Campus Redevelopment Will Include Housing
Gillette parent Procter & Gamble has revealed plans to devote at least 30% of the new construction in its redevelopment of the 31-acre World Shaving Headquarters in South Boston to housing, the Boston Business Journal reported. The company filed a letter of intent with Boston’s planning department that includes a broad overview of its plans for the campus.
About half of the Fort Point Channel property is expected to be turned into green, open spaces — “one of the largest waterfront parks on private land ever created in this part of the city,” P&G said. Most building space is anticipated to be for commercial use, such as offices, labs and retail.
Gillette plans to keep its headquarters in South Boston, though it has not yet determined whether it will take space in its redevelopment or lease offices elsewhere, reported the Business Journal. P&G announced last year that it would move Gillette manufacturing operations to Andover, MA.
