"State Street's expansion into Quincy in 1973 was crucial to our evolution from a local bank to a global leader in financial services. Our new facilities allowed us to increase our workforce so that we could keep pace with our rapidly growing business, not only in the U.S., but in overseas markets as well. It also allowed us to build out our back-office infrastructure so that we've remained on the cutting edge of technological developments in our field. We're committed to the Quincy business community and look forward to a bright future here," says Ronald E. Logue, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of State Street Corporation.

State Street Corporation is the world's leading specialist in providing institutional investors with investment servicing, investment management and investment research and trading. With $9.6 trillion in assets under custody and $1.4 trillion in assets under management as of June 30, 2005, State Street operates in 25 countries and more than 100 markets worldwide.

Harvard Pilgrim
Health Care
Quincy’s Crown Colony office park is the home base for more than 600 employees of Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, which was recently named by the Boston Business Journal as the “Best Place to Work in Massachusetts” among large companies. The majority of Harvard Pilgrim’s Crown Colony staff fulfills essential customer service and operational functions, and they can rightfully claim a great deal of credit for the health plan’s #1-in-the-nation rating for member satisfaction.

Harvard Pilgrim employees enjoy a great working environment with well-manicured property and the convenience of an MBTA station and highway on-ramp just a short distance down the road. They can often be seen during lunchtime walking or jogging and enjoying the scenery, which includes two man-made ponds and beautiful blossoming trees. Another one of the many benefits of working in the Quincy area is the business-friendly attitude of local government and the hospitality of local residents.

Harvard Pilgrim Health Care provides a variety of benefit options and funding arrangements in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine with a network of more than 22,000 physicians and 130 hospitals. It has received national recognition for member satisfaction, clinical quality, and work place environment. Harvard Pilgrim also provides personalized health support and unique online tools that speed and simplify key transactions for employers, brokers and providers at www.harvardpilgrim.org.
