The current building was built instead of a larger, more iconic design announced in 1969 that was never realized. The original design was a 696 feet (212 m) tall, 50 story, slender tower with an angled crown and would have been the "highest standing commercial building in New England.[6]
The building was most recently sold in October 2019 to Boston-based Synergy Investments for $16.5 million. It previously sold for $21.5 million in 2000.[1][2]
