111 Huntington Avenue is a skyscraper on Huntington Avenue in Boston, Massachusetts, United States. It is part of the Prudential Center complex that also houses the Prudential Tower. Completed in 2002, the tower is 554 ft tall and houses 36 floors. It is Boston's 12th-tallest building. Its recognizable dome gives the tower the unofficial nicknames of The R2-D2 Building and the Juicer Building.

Design

The 36-story tower, constructed by John Moriarty & Associates, Inc, is capped by an open-frame dome and crown which is illuminated at night. The building's original design called for a flat roof, but Boston Mayor Thomas Menino objected; Menino chose the present design from among several options the developer subsequently proposed.

The postmodern facade consists of a blue glass curtain wall designed by the architect firm Childs Bertman Tseckares Inc. (CBT). The lobby interior consists of reflective black marble walls with finished wood paneling and a dramatic lobby waterfall. It can be accessed from the adjacent Prudential retail mall, and includes a number of energy-efficient features.
