Formerly the headquarters of The Bank of New England, the building is fully sprinklered and has two elevators. The gross building area is 41,990 s/f. The building's primary architectural features are its concrete aggregate facade which rises from a polished black marble base and its reflective plate glass along the front and rear of the property. The first floor is occupied by Alba Restaurant, a restaurant that opened in 2002.
