Prudential Building
The Prudential Building, or more commonly referred to as "the Pru" is the 2nd tallest building in the city of Boston. Although one of the largest office buildings in the city, the Pru has much more to offer than just business. The Shops at Prudential Center offers some of the best shopping in the city, while Top of the Hub affords sweeping views of not only the city, but on a clear day even New Hampshire. This observation deck is the highest in the city of Boston after the John Hancock building closed theirs after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Measuring 759 feet with 52 stories, and 907 feet with it's radio mast, the Prudential was the tallest building in the world outside of New York City when completed in 1964. Today the Prudential Center is situated on 23 acres in the Back Bay. It's address is 800 Boylston Street and is bordered by Belvedere, Dalton, Boylston, and Exeter streets, along with Huntington Avenue. The Pru is also attached to Hynes Convention Center and the soon to be opened luxury The Mandarin Oriental Hotel. The Pru also has 2 T stops on it's premise: The Green line E train at Prudential, and the Green line train at Hynes Convention Center. Public restrooms available inside the mall.
