One Boston Place

One Boston Place is a 41-story office tower in Boston's Financial District that stands 183 meters above the surrounding area. The building features diagonal exterior bracing and a distinctive boxed rooftop form that make it recognizable on the skyline.

The tower was designed and built between 1967 and 1970 by architect Pietro Belluschi during a period of rapid vertical expansion in Boston's financial sector. Its construction marked a shift toward modernist high-rise development in the downtown area.

The building includes a fitness center with training equipment, group exercise classes, and a rooftop deck for employees to maintain work-life balance.

The tower is conveniently located near multiple public transit lines for easy access from different parts of the city. The building contains extensive office space and modern elevator systems to move people efficiently between floors.

The tower earned the first-ever Gold certification for sustainable operations and maintenance of an existing building in 2008, setting a precedent for environmental responsibility in office development. This recognition came before such standards became common across the industry.
