BOSTON— RapDev, a rapidly growing software engineering and DevOps consultancy, has relocated its Boston headquarters to a 17,587-square-foot office at 501 Boylston Street in the city’s Back Bay neighborhood. The move, completed this summer, marks a major milestone in the company’s expansion, reinforcing its commitment to collaboration and innovation in a dynamic urban setting.
The new office occupies a single floor in the 610,000-square-foot Class A tower, known for its modern design and sustainability. With high ceilings, expansive windows, and a recently renovated lobby, the space offers a bright and open environment tailored to RapDev’s fast-paced, team-oriented work culture. The building is LEED Gold and Energy Star certified, with a host of amenities including secure bike storage, an on-site parking garage, conference facilities, and direct access to public transportation.
“Being together in the office is a big part of who we are,” said Tameem Hourani, Founder of RapDev. “This new space reflects the energy of our team—collaborative, creative, and always experimenting. It gives us the room to keep building cool things with our customers, grow together, and have fun while doing it.”
RapDev’s relocation highlights continued demand for premier office space among Boston’s tech sector, particularly in Back Bay—a neighborhood known for its accessibility, prestige, and proximity to key transit lines and business resources.
“RapDev’s relocation highlights the strength and flexibility of Boston’s Back Bay market and the continued demand from technology firms looking to grow and innovate in the city’s core,” said Dan Cavanaugh, Managing Director at JLL, which represented RapDev in the lease transaction. “The company came to us with a clear vision for a space that supports its engineering culture and evolving workstyle, and our team translated that vision into a plug-and-play sublease at 501 Boylston that offers both a prime location and immediate occupancy.”
JLL’s transaction team included Dan Cavanaugh, Sarah Griffith (Senior Vice President), and Lauren Hasson (Senior Vice President, Workplace Strategy).
