Downtown Boston is a bustling business center mixed with culture, history, restaurants and office buildings. The area has close proximity to the Seaport as well as interstates 90 and 93, making it extremely accessible for commuters. 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.

“One International Place provided Cushman & Wakefield an excellent business environment, offering easy access to all of our clients and sweeping views of the Boston Harbor and the Seaport,” Verrette said. “I am confident that this space will serve Korn Ferry well and allow them to continue to flourish in the city’s premiere office tower.”
