The Shops at Prudential Center form a core component of Bostonโs iconic Prudential Center mixed-use complex, strategically located in the heart of the Back Bay. Comprising approximately 760,000 sq ft of GLA and 75+ retail and F&B outlets, the destination integrates retail, dining, leisure, office, and hospitality within one of New Englandโs most recognisable and heavily trafficked urban environments.
The asset is anchored by a strong mix of experiential and retail drivers, including Eataly Boston, Saks Fifth Avenue, Marshalls, and the flagship Dickโs House of Sport, which introduces large-format, experience-led retail into a dense city-centre setting. The Prudential Tower Observatory further strengthens the destinationโs role within Bostonโs tourism ecosystem, generating consistent year-round footfall alongside office, residential, and visitor demand.
Connectivity is a defining strength of the scheme and a key contributor to its long-term resilience. The Shops benefit from a direct Skywalk link to Copley Place, seamless integration with surrounding office towers, hotels, and residential buildings, and immediate access to the MBTA Green Line, firmly positioning the asset within Bostonโs primary pedestrian, commuter, and visitor flows. This integration allows the destination to function as part of the cityโs daily movement patterns rather than relying solely on discretionary retail trips.
Strong vertical circulation, clear wayfinding, and a carefully curated brand mix including Canada Goose, Aritzia, Lululemon, Sephora, and Apple support dwell time and repeat visitation. Together, these elements ensure the centre operates as a true urban lifestyle destination, balancing convenience, experience, and placemaking rather than behaving as a standalone shopping centre.
