And then GE tried to get Boston to approve building a helipad at their new headquarters so their key executives could still live in the Gold Coast and frolic NYC, only to realize their building was right under Logan Airport's , which happens to be right under the flight path for Logan's 4L/22R, 4R/22L, and 9/27 runways. The FAA tanked that idea quick. The company then sold huge pieces to cover their debt load from GE Capital. More recently (2022), GE decided to split into 3 companies - GE Healthcare HQ'd in Chicago, GE Vernova HQ'd across the river in Cambridge, and GE Aerospace HQ'd outside of Cincinnati. As a result, the headcount at the their new (2019), now former headquarters, dropped to under 200 (was planned to house 800) resulting in a second proposed building getting the ax before GE sold it. GE reportedly spent $200 million on it, less $87 Million from the Commonwealth of Mass, which they may or may not have to pay back, and only netted $98 Million in its sale. That worked well for both.
