HISTORICAL BUILDING

Property: 501 Boylston Street Owner: TIAA-CREF Management Company: CBRE | New England Property Manager: Amy Forman

501 Boylston Street, Boston

501 Boylston Street is a 610,075 SF, Class A office and retail building located in Boston’s historic Back Bay. Constructed in the Neoclassic style, it is a grand structure of elegance and the ultimate location for companies seeking a distinct location. Strategically located in the heart of the city’s premier retail and business destinations between Boylston, Newbury and Clarendon Streets, and comprising almost an entire city block, 501 Boylston marks the crossroads of commerce and convenience. 501 Boylston was built in 1940 as the headquarters of New England Mutual Life Insurance Company and has been owned by TIAA since 2007.

The Boylston Street lobby has eight large murals, which were painted by Charles Hoffbauer and feature snapshots of historic moments unique to New England, yet pivotal in the formation of America. Centrally located, above the main lobby floor, is a granite carving called “Woman at the Spinning Wheel”. The woman is Priscilla (Mullins) Alden, a noted member of the Plymouth Colony Pilgrims, who was memorialized in Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s 1858 poem The Courtship of Miles Standish. The image of Priscilla with her spinning wheel was popularized in the late 19th century by painter George Henry Boughton’s piece Why Don’t You Speak for Yourself, John, which was titled after the poem’s most memorable line. The image of Priscilla and her spinning wheel appeared on a calendar in 1886 for New England Mutual, and served as the company’s trademark until the 1950s when the newly-named New England Life chose the USS Constitution as its replacement symbol. The Newbury Street lobby has four dioramas, created by Sarah Annette Rockwell, and depicts the long history of the Back Bay ground, which 501 Boylston now sits.

Congratulations to 501 Boylston Street and CBRE | New England.

RENOVATED BUILDING

100 Summer Street, Boston

177 Huntington Avenue, Boston

Property: 177 Huntington Avenue Owner: Beacon Capital Partners Management Company: CBRE | New England Tenant Coordinator: Faith Farnham Over the last three years, 177 Huntington Avenue carried out a considerable separation and modernization project. In an effort to make the property its own building, on a campus where it used to heavily rely on shared electrical distribution, emergency power, chilled water for cooling and steam for heat. In 2015, a full façade restoration project was completed. On the exterior of the building, lighting accentuates the curved architecture on the northeast and southwest corners. The northeast band of light spans the height of the building and makes 177 Huntington visible from across the city.

Standing at the end of The Plaza of The First Church of Christ, Scientist, 177 Huntington Avenue was built as part of the Christian Science Plaza development of the early 1970s, a development that has left a lasting impression on Boston’s Back Bay and South End communities.

A complete elevator modernization project was completed recently, bringing the existing elevators up to par with modern technology and bright new finishes; an additional elevator was installed to ensure that tenants were not waiting to be delivered to their respective floors. The lower level, which was once unusable and unrentable space, has been transformed into an amenity center consisting of a high-end fitness center offering both cardio and weight training equipment. The main entrance and lobby have been revitalized to provide a pleasant and inviting space.

The lobby was designed with contemporary finishes, decorative seating, news media, LED lighting, a café, and art which demonstrates the building’s integral role in Boston’s history, while connecting strongly to the environment in modern day.
