Apple: Glass-Facade Show Piece in Boston Opening- Wall Street Soon


BOSTON (Reuters) - Apple Inc (AAPL.O: Quote, Profile, Research) unveiled its largest U.S. store on Wednesday, a glass-facade building sheathed in steel that a senior company official said reflects Apple's plans to expand retail ventures at home and abroad.

Sandwiched between aging brick buildings, the minimalist 20,000-square-foot store stands out on Boston's historic Boylston Street, featuring a ground floor with more than 100 Mac laptops and computers, a second level for iPod music players and iPhones, and a third entirely for service. MORE

Meanwhile the Alley Insider reports: "Apple is "seriously negotiating" for a 12,500-foot retail space in the Financial District at 23 Wall St., the NY Post reports. This backs up an April report saying that Apple was eyeing 23 Wall St. or 15 Broad St. for its downtown store.



We hear Apple is also shopping for 10,000-15,000 square feet of Manhattan office space around Midtown."
