Spotlight On Stran
We're On the Move!
After 10 years in our current Quincy HQ, Stran is packing up for a new chapter in Marina Bay.
We first opened our doors in Dorchester, MA, where the vision for Stran was born in a much smaller space. In 2014, we moved into our current office in Quincy to accommodate our growing team and services. Now, with continued growth and exciting plans for the future, we’re building something new once again.
Our new office, currently under construction in Marina Bay, is just a few miles away but offers a whole new world of possibilities. With walkable access to the marina and local businesses, plus a dynamic space designed for collaboration, creativity, and client connection.

⛵️ Why Marina Bay?
The Marina Bay area offers a fresh, energetic atmosphere. Featuring harborside walking paths, restaurants, a brewery, a boat club, and proximity to Boston, this location gives us a vibrant environment for work and connection.
🚧 What’s changing?
Our new space will reflect our modern, creative culture. We’re exploring more open layouts, dedicated spaces for team collaboration, an in-house photography studio, a state-of-the-art showroom, and enhanced meeting areas to welcome clients and partners in person.
🚙 When’s the move?
Construction is currently underway, and we’ll be sharing updates as we get closer to moving in. Stay tuned for sneak peeks!
