US.- DraftKings officially hosted the opening of its new Boston headquarters on Tuesday. The Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker and Lieutenant Governor Karyn Polito joined company co-founders Jason Robins, Paul Liberman and Matt Kalish for the official ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The opening of the 105k square-foot space marks the largest single-floor office plan in Boston and more than double the size of DraftKings’ previous Boston office. The move will allow DraftKings to accelerate its skyrocketing growth. The company, which currently has over 700 employees, saw a 65% increase year-over-year for employee headcount.
As reported by DraftKings in a statement, the new headquarters count with professional production and podcast studios along with green rooms to bolster DraftKings’ focus on in-house content creation. The space also features custom and dynamic work areas designed to spark innovation and the development of new products.
“Massachusetts has been home to DraftKings since our inception, and we take immense pride in being part of the vibrant technology community here,” said Robins, DraftKings CEO and Co-Founder. “Our new headquarters will foster innovation while providing a true homefield advantage as we work toward our goal of being the ultimate sports entertainment destination for fans.”
“Massachusetts is home to a thriving innovation economy, and we are pleased that DraftKings is a part of that economy,” said Governor Baker. “We are glad to support an environment that encourages the expansion of Massachusetts-based tech companies like this one.”
