Project Description
FROM THE ARCHITECTS:
As the last site at the Prudential Center complex, 888 Boylston Street creates a new front door to one of the world’s most successful urban developments. The building rises to the promise of its pivotal site as a reinvention of the “Commercial Palazzo,” referring to its general shape and classical proportions, light-filled productive spaces, and a cluster of civic and commercial identities. The building’s environmental strategies start with the efficiency and flexibility of an off-set, center-core plan that is optimized and site-specific to promote both open, “creative” spaces and traditional office plates. 888 Boylston Street is a compelling symbol of sustainability on the Boston skyline, and a welcome conclusion to an important urban ensemble at the city’s heart.
