History
The builders had proposed a transparent glass building but ran into opposition from the historic Old South Meeting House
When the building was completed, it had a hard time finding tenants due to an office space glut and stood vacant upon completion. By 2005, 56% of the office place was rented and the average rent on a monthly parking space was $350.
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.
