Exchange Place is a modern skyscraper in the Financial District of Boston, Massachusetts. Built in 1985, it is tied with the neighboring 60 State Street as Boston's 12th tallest building, standing 510 feet (155 m) tall, and housing 40 floors.
The modern glass skyscraper rises out of a previous building, the 12-story Boston Stock Exchange, built in 1896.
Exchange Place is owned by Brookfield Office Properties, which purchased the property from Harold Theran in 2006. It is home to the Boston Consulting Group, law firm Goodwin Procter, advertising agency Hill Holliday and The Blackstone Group.
Famous quotes containing the words exchange and/or place:
“I can exchange opinion with any neighbouring mind,
I have as healthy flesh and blood as any rhymer’s had,
But O! my Heart could bear no more when the upland caught the wind;
I ran, I ran, from my love’s side because my Heart went mad.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“Why are we never quite at ease in the presence of a schoolmaster? Because we are conscious that he is not quite at his ease in ours. He is awkward, and out of place in the society of his equals. He comes like Gulliver from among his little people, and he cannot fit the stature of his understanding to yours.”
—Charles Lamb (1775–1834)
