The downtown, financial district, and Fort Point areas are more T accessible than car accessible. DON’T DRIVE IN IF YOU CAN! I used the parking lot down the street to come for interviews at Boston Partners and they charged me almost $20 for an hour and a half of parking :( There is metered parking on Seaport Blvd., but that gets pretty costly and you’ll have to move your car after 4 hours anyway. Use the T, Boston Partners will reimburse you for a monthly T pass or they’ll give you a card – Ask Jim Laudisio for more information.
From the T: 44 Farnsworth is incredibly close to the Red Line, South Station and even more close to the Silver Line, Courthouse stop. I was living out in Brighton off the Green B Line and would take the Green Line into Park Station, transfer to the Red Line outbound towards Braintree/Ashmont. You take the Red line two stops to South Station, find the Silver Line (it’s a bus) and take it one stop to Courthouse. Once you get outside, walk around the Courthouse stop and through the parking lot to get to the office.
The Fort Point area is a developing area for artist studios and offices. There are no grocery/convenience/pharmacy stores in the area, which is no fun. Luckily, Boston Partners is a 15-20 minute walk from Chinatown or Downtown Crossing, a 25 minute walk to the North End or Boston Commons, it’s right on the water (take a walk in front of the Courthouse for a break!) and you get a super scenic view of Downtown Boston after a long day at work.
To wrap up, Boston Partners in Education's office is located in a really nice area of Boston. Be sure to explore as much as you can! It's a very nice opportunity to get to know Downtown Boston.
