Jones Day, which currently occupies the 21st floor at 100 High St. in the Financial District, will be located on the tower\u2019s 23rd and 24th floors. It marks the firm\u2019s first move within Boston since entering the market in 2011. The new office will provide a Class A+ workspace for employees with flexibility for future growth. Jones Day has more than 2,400 lawyers in 40 offices across five continents, including 1,700 in the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-mixed-use-skyscraper\">Mixed-use skyscraper<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The tower at 680 Atlantic Ave. is being built above South Station, Boston\u2019s most connected and active transit hub. The project, a partnership between Hines, the Boston Planning &amp; Development Agency and the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, includes the redevelopment and extension of the South Station Transportation Center as well as the construction of the approximately 1.2 million-square-foot tower above the 1899-built South Station building. The redevelopment will increase the transportation hub\u2019s capacity by approximately 50 percent and provide more convenient connections to the train and subway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity has-very-light-gray-to-cyan-bluish-gray-gradient-background has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>READ ALSO<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/the-long-term-pull-of-smaller-markets-a-hines-director-weighs-in\/\">The Long-Term Pull of Smaller Markets<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity has-very-light-gray-to-cyan-bluish-gray-gradient-background has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Hines began work on the mixed-use project in January 2020, after it secured air rights along with an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/hines-boston-mixed-use-tower-advances\/\">$870 million construction loan<\/a> originated by The Children\u2019s Investment Fund, according to CommercialEdge data.
