The mixed-use building is a captivating symbol of sustainability on the skyline and a welcome conclusion to an important urban ensemble.
As the last development site within the Prudential Center complex, the mixed-use building creates a new front door to one of the world's most successful urban, commercial environments. 888 Boylston Street was designed to be one of the most sustainable speculative office buildings in New England. The building is 17 floors and LEED Platinum certified, and maintains a light touch on the environment, enriches its Back Bay context, and enhances the experience of its occupants.

The building is crafted to optimize the indoor environment, office planning flexibility, and building performance. 888 Boylston Street rises to the promise of its pivotal site as a reinvention of the "commercial palazzo," referring to the general shape and classical proportions, light-filled workspaces, and clustering of civic and commercial identities. In addition to panoramic views of the Charles River, the building features a revitalized plaza and three floors of retail to activate the street level.
