It is within a seven-minute walk of: South Station’s MBTA Red Line, commuter rail and buses; Downtown Crossing’s Orange and Red Lines; the commuter ferry terminal at Rowes Wharf; the Orange and Blue Lines of State Street Station; as well as three Bluebike bikeshare stations. The building overlooks I-90 and I-93 which are accessible. 99 High’s tenant base includes AIG, Marsh, and FEMA. Existing retail tenants are the Citizen’s Bank Banking & Wealth Center, and Society on High.
“We take great pride in this extensive building reinvention,” said Corderman & Co. project manager Matt Santapaula. “It brings a new presence and energy to the world class tower as well as to a pivotal high profile corner of the city. Tenants have embraced the changes and are giving us very positive feedback.” The new 99 High lobby is one of numerous landmark lobbies that are either underway or recently completed by Corderman & Co. including 855 Boylston St., 20-21 Custom House St., and The Pilot House in Boston.
