The office lobby, retail space and a restaurant occupy the first two levels; the rest of the stories are for offices.
An unusual steel-framed roof covers the 90-foot-high glass-enclosed atium entrance.
The building occupies an historic 1.23-acre wedge-shaped site that links the Fort Point Channel area and Boston's Financial District.
