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:
“The press and politicians. A delicate relationship. Too close, and danger ensues. Too far apart and democracy itself cannot function without the essential exchange of information. Creative leaks, a discreet lunch, interchange in the Lobby, the art of the unattributable telephone call, late at night.”
—Howard Brenton (b. 1942)
“To a person uninstructed in natural history, his country or sea-side stroll is a walk through a gallery filled with wonderful works of art, nine-tenths of which have their faces turned to the wall. Teach him something of natural history, and you place in his hands a catalogue of those which are worth turning round.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
