Designed by world renowned architect Pietro Belluschi, the Commonwealth offers a place rich in history and achievements coupled with modern and creative tenant space.

Standing at 14 stories, the Commonwealth Building was completed in 1948 and pioneered several innovative features, including a curtain wall, or non-structural skin, aluminum and glass double glazed window panels, and was the first fully sealed, air-conditioned building. In 1976, the building was officially recognized on the National Registry of Historic Places, and In 1982, the Commonwealth Building received an award from the American Institute of Architects (AIA), in recognition of it being “a masterpiece of aesthetics, technology and engineering.”

From its early history, the building was intended to highlight the best aspects of modern design and innovation, making it a place for the most distinguished and discerning tenants. Today, the Commonwealth Building is widely recognized as the country’s first modern skyscraper and the first International Style office building erected in the United States, and an inspiration for those that came after. Seven million in renovations over the last decade — including common area improvements, a fitness center with showers & lockers and basement bicycle storage — have managed to keep the building aligned with tenant desires while newer updates to the lobby, proximity to amenities and a solid foundation continue to keep the Commonwealth Building top-of-mind for the next generation of tenants.
