Brookline Bank recently completed the restoration of the former Publishers Building at 131 Clarendon St. in Boston’s Back Bay. The building houses the headquarters of the bank’s parent company, Brookline Bancorp Inc., many of its operational staff, as well as Brookline Bank’s retail banking, commercial banking and commercial real estate banking units.

Brookline Bank bought the eight-story building, the former location of the Hard Rock Café, in 2011. Since then the bank has gutted and renovated the interior and exterior to bring it up to modern office space and building code standards.

"We’re very pleased to have made the investment in such a classic building and to help revitalize a corner of the neighborhood neglected for so long," Paul Perrault, chairman and CEO of Brookline Bank, said in a statement.

The 131 Clarendon Street branch is managed by Brian Troy, who recently joined Brookline Bank from CitiBank.
