The Prudential Tower, also known as the Prudential Building or, colloquially, The Pru is an International Style skyscraper in Boston, Massachusetts. The building, a part of the Prudential Center complex, currently stands as the 2nd-tallest building in Boston, behind 200 Clarendon Street, formerly the John Hancock Tower. The Prudential Tower was designed by Charles Luckman and Associates for Prudential Insurance. Completed in 1964, the building is 749 feet (228 m) tall, with 52 floors, and (as of January 2021) is tied with others as the 114th-tallest in the United States. It contains 1.2 million sq ft (110,000 m2) of commercial and retail space. Including its radio mast, the tower stands as the tallest building in Boston, rising to 907 feet (276 m) in height.
The Tower is connected to Prudential Center, a shopping mall with over 40 stores and 18 restaurants. One special restaurant is located on the 52nd floor of the tower, called the "Top of the Hub". There you can dine with a very exclusive view over Boston. less
