List of tallest buildings in Boston

Boston, the capital of the U.S. state of Massachusetts and the largest city in New England, is home to 585 completed high-rises,[1] 37 of which stand taller than 400 feet (122 m).

The city's skyscrapers and high-rises are concentrated along the roughly 2.5 mile High Spine, which runs from the Back Bay to the Financial District and West End, while bypassing the surrounding low-rise residential neighborhoods.

The tallest structure in Boston is the 60-story 200 Clarendon, better known to locals as the John Hancock Tower, which rises 790 feet (241 m) in the Back Bay district.

[3] At the time of the Prudential Tower's completion in 1964, it stood as the tallest building in North America outside of New York City.

[6] Since August 2017, several major development projects have dramatically altered the city's skyline, including the Millennium Tower, Avalon North Station, Four Seasons Hotel & Private Residences, One Dalton Street, The Hub on Causeway, and Bulfinch Crossing.

To the extreme right is a white clock tower that appears shorter than most of the other tall buildings; two concrete, Brutalist-era apartment buildings are adjacent to the clock tower.
