The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat honors the 61-story tower with an Award of Excellence in the 200–299 meter category.
The award recognizes projects that have made "extraordinary contributions to the advancement of tall buildings and the urban environment, and that achieve sustainability and human well-being at the highest and broadest level."
Overlooking Boston’s historic Back Bay, One Dalton fulfills this mandate with an array of design details that make it both a good neighbor and a responsible citizen of its city. The low-rise podium, clad in warm gray granite, respects the scale and materiality of the nearby historic townhouses, while on the upper floors, gray-tinted, bird-friendly glass reduces exterior glare and provides optimal energy performance.
