Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company today broke ground for a 17-story, 310,000-square-foot building at 10 Fan Pier Boulevard in Boston, on the Boston waterfront.
The Springfield, Massachusetts-based insurer says it will be keeping its headquarters in Springfield, but that it plans to consolidate some facilities in other parts of the country. The realignment could lead to MassMutual bringing about 1,000 jobs to the new building in Boston.
