Merial Marina Bay – Urban Coastal Apartment Complex


By Fairway Architectural Railing Solutions | April 18, 2024
Merial Marina Bay – Urban Coastal Apartment Complex

Marrying a modern, urban lifestyle with the charm of a seaside community, Merial Marina Bay is a mixed-use property with more than 350 apartments, retail, and dining space. Aiming to balance modern design, safety, and maintaining incredible harbor views, Fairway Architectural Railing Solutions was chosen to custom design and install railings on balconies and common areas throughout the property.

These luxury waterfront apartment homes were designed to offer “an exquisitely contemporary seaside experience” located a short distance from downtown Boston. To balance that goal of design and function, Fairway’s Coronado aluminum railing was paired with the sleek, modern lines of a horizontal baluster infill for apartment balconies while a 2-line top rail with glass infill was installed on corner balconies and common areas to maintain the beautiful views of the harbor.

Needing materials designed to withstand the harsh seaside environment along with the frigid Northeastern United States winters, an AAMA-2605 powder coat finish in silver was applied. This ensures the railing not only adds an incredible finish to the façade of each building but it’s ready to withstand anything mother nature will throw at it.
