Lego plans to move its US headquarters from Connecticut to Boston in 2026, the toymaker announced on Tuesday.
All employees at the current Enfield headquarters will be based at the new headquarters, which Lego is still looking for a building to move into.
Ideally, the building should be within the city and close to public transportation, Skip Kodak, president of The Lego Group in America, told The Boston Globe. Lego hopes to announce a specific location by the end of September, he said.
In a press release, Kodak said it made sense to move to Boston because it’s considered “one of the best cities in the world for attracting and retaining talent.” He added that the city’s “world-class academic institutions, skilled workforce and great quality of life” add to its appeal.
“We have exciting plans for the next phase of growth and hope to retain many of our current teams and add new colleagues,” he said.
The move — which will happen in phases — is scheduled to begin in mid-2025 and be completed in 2026. Until then, employees will continue to work at Enfield and at the company’s education office in Boston’s Back Bay. Employees hired in new roles will be based out of the Boston office.

“We wanted to give our employees plenty of time to plan for their future, so we will be introducing a gradual transition over the next few years,” Kodak said.
Alongside Boston, Somerville is home to The Lego Corporation’s Lego Discovery Center, which is currently undergoing renovations and is scheduled to reopen in spring 2023, according to its website. The Danish company is also building a $1 billion carbon-neutral facility in Virginia, which it plans to open in 2025.
