Harbor Towers

The Harbor Towers are two 40-story residential towers located on the waterfront of Boston, Massachusetts, in between the New England Aquarium and the Rowes Wharf mixed-use development. Harbor Towers I, the taller of the two towers, stands at 400 ft (121.9 m), while Harbor Towers II rises 396 ft (120.7 m). Harbor Towers I is tied for the 36th-tallest building in Boston with the Keystone Building, while Harbor Towers II is tied for the 38th-tallest building in Boston with One Devonshire Place. They were designed by Henry N. Cobb of I. M. Pei & Partners. The towers were built in 1971 as part of a major revitalization project of Boston's dilapidated waterfront area. The apartments, initially designed as affordable rental housing, were converted into condominiums in the 1980's.
