Built in 1987, One International is Boston’s sixth-tallest building, standing 600 feet tall and housing 46 floors. The building is very prominent in the city’s skyline, particularly when viewed from Boston Harbor. The building has three separate elements. These consist of the central tower itself, as well as two smaller towers. One International Place is connected to Two International Place by a central dome and winter garden.
