Russia Wharf, Waterfront office building in Boston, United States
Russia Wharf is a waterfront office building in Boston with 32 floors combining glass and steel construction while preserving three historic facades from the 1800s. The complex houses office space, residential units, dining venues, an art gallery, and underground parking.
This site began as a maritime trading post for commerce with Russia, established in 1809, and was completely rebuilt following a major fire in 1872. Its location near the Boston Tea Party site connects it to the city's broader trading history.
The Boston Society of Architects operates their BSA Space here, presenting exhibitions and public programs about architecture and design. This active presence shapes how visitors experience the building today.
This location sits directly on the waterfront and is easily walkable from downtown Boston. Visitors can access public areas including restaurants, the art gallery, and outdoor plaza spaces for strolling.
This was Boston's first high-rise to achieve LEED platinum certification, merging environmental responsibility with historic preservation. The combination of modern green building standards with restored nineteenth-century facades was unusual for its time.
