This project is actually fairly close to completion. However, it does represent the final building of Boston's Prudential Center- a massive development that has been in the works for over 50 years.

This project is certified LEED Platinum and includes wind turbines in the extensive crown. The base levels will house one of Mario Batali's "Eataly" establishments and will connect directly to the already-existing Prudential Center mall.

Here's a retrospective on progress for 888:

A new mall entrance was included in the project's scope:
