Floored by the Facts: How Tall is This Tower?
The Prudential Tower boasts a staggering 52 floors. That's a whole lotta elevator rides, office space, and stunning views of the city. In fact, if you're feeling ambitious (and have a head for heights), you can check out the Skywalk Observatory on the 50th floor for panoramic vistas that will make your ankles weak (but hopefully not your stomach).
Pro Tip: Don't wear your best white pants on a windy day at the Skywalk. Just sayin'.
QuickTip: Keep going — the next point may connect.
Why Does Counting Floors Matter Anyway?
Well, besides the aforementioned tourist challenge, it's a good way to settle friendly wagers (because who doesn't love a little friendly competition?). Maybe you and your significant other are having a debate about where to grab a post-work drink with a view. Knowing the Prudential has more floors than the Hancock Tower (sorry, John!) might just influence your decision.
Side Note: For the record, the Hancock Tower has 60 floors. Just sayin' (again).
QuickTip: Don’t skim too fast — depth matters.
So You Think You Can Count Floors Like a Pro?
Think again, my friend. Those windows can be deceiving, especially from a distance. And let's not forget the pesky mechanical floors that don't exactly count as "usable real estate."
But hey, if you're feeling determined, here's a bonus challenge: Time yourself trying to count the floors from afar. Winner gets bragging rights (and maybe a free pastry from that fancy bakery on Boylston Street).
