The Prudential Center opened in 1965 and with its 52 stories, reigned as the city’s tallest building until the 60-story Hancock tower was completed 11 years later. The building features 10 acres of glass curtain walls and 4,000 windows. While the tower itself is mostly used for office space, it is also part of a complex that includes almost 50 shops (including the Lord & Taylor and Saks Fifth Avenue department stores), plus numerous restaurants and services.
