History
The builders had proposed a transparent glass building but ran into opposition from the historic Old South Meeting House.[3]
When the building was completed, it had a hard time finding tenants due to an office space glut and stood vacant[4] upon completion.[5] By 2005, 56% of the office space was rented[6] and the average rent on a monthly parking space was $350.[7]
In March 2010, 33 Arch Street was awarded the LEED Gold designation from the U.S. Green Building Council. In November 2010, the building was selected as BOMA's 2010-2011 Outstanding Building of the Year in the 500,000-1 Million Square Feet category.
Design and features
The building has views of Boston Common, the Charles River, City Hall Plaza, and Boston Harbor. 33 Arch Street offers over Script error: No such module "convert". of office space and has 850 parking spaces[8] in its underground parking garage.
Architecture
The building has a unique wing shape[9] to maximize the use of its tight footprint.[2] The building strikes a balance with its surroundings and neighboring buildings through the use of the granite stone facade used to add to continuity of the urban streetscape.[2] Yet, it is distinct from its neighbors by the extensive use of metal and glass in its exterior.[2]
The building facade features grey granite, glass and aluminum cladding.[10] Twenty floors cantilever over adjacent retail space[2] and a garage, which is connected to parking on the first six levels.[9] The roof has a distinctive top[11] that sets it apart from nearby flat roofs in the skyline. It features a curved penthouse and roof fins.[2]
The building uses four levels of external bracing transfer the enormous loads of the high building into the small base. The bracing continues through the parking levels to the foundation; perimeter and internal moment frames act as the lateral system above the braced levels.[2] The building was the first to be built in downtown Boston under new Safety Guidelines-Subpart R for steel.[12]
