28 State Street, High-rise building in Financial District, Boston, United States.
28 State Street is a 40-story glass office tower located in the Financial District of Boston, Massachusetts. It rises above the surrounding streets and offers office space across many floors, sitting close to several major city landmarks.
The tower was completed in 1970, during a period when Boston was actively replacing older downtown buildings with modern office towers. That wave of construction changed the character of the Financial District in ways that are still visible today.
The building sits at the center of Boston's Financial District, where office workers fill the surrounding streets during weekday mornings and lunch hours. The area around it has a fast pace that slows noticeably on weekends, giving a different feel to the same streets.
The building is easy to reach on foot from State Street Station on the MBTA Blue Line, which is just steps away. A security desk in the lobby controls access to the upper floors, so visitors heading to specific offices should check ahead.
The building's glass facade was engineered to handle the strong coastal winds that hit this part of Boston, and this shaped some of the design choices that are visible from the street. Looking up from State Street, the way the glass panels meet at each corner reflects this structural thinking.
