28 State Street

28 State Street is a 40-story office tower in Boston's Financial District designed with a glass facade and clean geometric lines. The building serves as a major commercial hub in the downtown core.

The building was completed in 1970 during a period when Boston modernized its Financial District with new office towers. This construction wave reshaped the city's downtown landscape and economic focus.

The building reflects the commercial design language that shaped Boston's appearance in the late 20th century. Its clean lines and glass surface show the style that many American office towers adopted during that era.

The building contains multiple elevators and a security desk in the main lobby for visitor access. Direct connection to the MBTA Blue Line through State Street Station makes it easy to reach by public transportation.

The building's facade incorporates special design features that reduce wind resistance. This engineering detail is crucial for tall structures in Boston's coastal setting where strong winds are common.
