[2] Standing 9 stories or 35 m (115 ft), the building is located at 828 17th Street in Denver's historic district, on the corner of E. 17th St. and Champa.

Today, the Boston Building is located in the heart of downtown Denver next to LoDo and the 16th Street Mall.

Its exterior features a combination of Renaissance Revival and Richardsonian Romanesque style elements and is clad in Manitou red sandstone.

In 2008, the steam heating system was replaced with high efficiency, condensing boilers fueled by clean burning natural gas.

In addition to the apartment lofts, the building also houses 9,600 square feet (890 m2) of retail spaces - which is, as of March 2023, occupied by Cobbler's Corner, Tea Cloud and Poke, Native Barber Salon and FASTSIGNS.
