Hines begins leasing at 352-unit Meriel Marina Bay - managed by The Bozzuto Group

Quincy, MA Hines has begun leasing for Meriel Marina Bay, the newest residential building in the city. Located on a seaside peninsula south of Boston, Meriel Marina Bay delivers waterfront living and amenities, paired with access to I-93 via car, a complimentary shuttle to the Red Line North Quincy MBTA station and a water ferry to downtown Boston. 

Meriel Marina Bay is a mixed-use development comprised of two, five-story buildings featuring 352 apartments with garage parking and 20,000 s/f of ground-level retail space ideal for dining establishments and specialty boutiques. 

Meriel Marina Bay - Quincy, MA

Featuring a wide variety of thoughtfully designed layouts including studios, one-, two- and three-bedroom homes, the apartments at Meriel Marina Bay offers breathtaking views of the Boston skyline, Boston Harbor and the vibrant Marina Bay boardwalk. The Meriel Marina Bay development will nearly double the size of the existing public boardwalk and further enhance the Quincy’s vibrant Marina Bay neighborhood that features condominiums, retail, and restaurants, as well as a 686-slip marina.

“Meriel Marina Bay is extremely unique in that it offers residents the best of both worlds - a pristine oceanfront home with easy access to Boston in under 30 minutes,” said David Perry, senior managing director at Hines. “As the last major development planned for Marina Bay, we aimed to exceed market expectations in both the design of this property and the range of amenities. It is an extraordinary waterfront location deserving of a best-in-class residential community.”

“We are elated to be a part of this very extraordinary project. Meriel Marina Bay will offer a distinct way of life that can’t be found in the surrounding cities near downtown Boston,” said Allie Sullivan, regional portfolio manager at Bozzuto Management Company. “Meriel Marina Bay will be a one of a kind living experience offering a resort-like lifestyle with exclusive tranquil ocean front views, for those who demand a special place to call home.”

Each apartment home includes spacious open layouts with over-sized windows and wide plank flooring throughout the main living areas. Bright kitchens feature stainless-steel appliances, center islands with breakfast bar, quartz countertops and European-style soft close cabinets. Apartments also include large walk-in closets, soaking tubs, walk-in showers, and a full-size washer and dryer.  Many apartments feature dual-sink vanities and a majority of the apartment homes have either oversized balconies or private patios.

Built with serenity and lifestyle in mind, Meriel Marina Bay offers a multitude of high-end amenities. Residents are able to exercise in one of two state-of-the-art fitness centers with separate cardio and yoga studios; bask in the sun on the stylish sundeck or relax in the heated swimming pool.

Featuring an extensive array of outdoor areas for residents to entertain and unwind, Meriel Marina Bay includes three courtyards overlooking the marina that includes areas equipped with an outdoor kitchen, BBQ grills, wet bar and fire pits. Indoor amenities include two club rooms with a flat screen TV with catering kitchens and lounge seating, cyber café with Wi-Fi, two conference rooms, a separate games and entertainment lounge, and storage areas for bikes and kayaks. Pets are also pampered at Meriel Marina Bay with the Bark ‘n’ Bubbles pet spa and grooming station.
