Design
The 36-story tower, constructed by John Moriarty & Associates, Inc, is capped by an open-frame dome and crown which is illuminated at night. The building's original design called for a flat roof, but Boston Mayor Thomas Menino objected; Menino chose the present design from among several options the developer subsequently proposed.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
The postmodern facade consists of a blue glass curtain wall designed by the architect firm Childs Bertman Tseckares Inc. (CBT). The lobby interior consists of reflective black marble walls with finished wood paneling and a dramatic lobby waterfall. It can be accessed from the adjacent Prudential retail mall, and includes a number of energy-efficient features.<ref name="energystar1">Template:Cite web</ref>
