50 Liberty

Branding a luxury waterfront residence where marina views become part of everyday life.

Situated along Boston’s Fan Pier, 50 Liberty offered a rare opportunity for luxury waterfront living—but with a challenge: its views were more intimate than its sister tower, Twenty Two Liberty. Instead of sweeping harbor panoramas, residents would overlook the marina, the boardwalk, and the shifting rhythms of day-to-day waterfront life. Our task was to shape a brand that embraced this difference and turned proximity into a powerful advantage.

The Challenge

50 Liberty needed to distinguish itself within Fan Pier’s family of luxury developments while appealing to an elite audience already familiar with the success of Twenty Two Liberty

Its views, while beautiful, were only on one side of the building and more grounded—focused on the marina, the boats, and the immediate activity along the water’s edge. The brand had to reframe these near views not as a limitation, but as a uniquely personal, enviable way of living on the waterfront.

The Solution

We crafted a positioning strategy centered on the idea of ownership: the marina becomes your front yard, the water your daily backdrop, the harbor activity part of your routine.

The campaign’s signature line—“Welcome to your new front yard”—made the closeness of the views feel intimate, exclusive, and deeply desirable.

The identity system extended this feeling through luxurious, marina-inspired details: a crisp, sculptural “50” monogram, cool blue tones pulled from the sky and water, and silver metallics reflective of hulls, hardware, and harbor light.

Photography and copy added romance and lifestyle richness—sunset gatherings, early-morning sails, shoreline walks—amplifying the pleasures of living steps from the water.

Across print, signage, digital, and on-site displays, the brand invited prospective buyers to imagine a life lived on the edge of the marina—calm, connected, and unmistakably coastal.

The 50 Liberty identity uses the number 5 to represent the marina and the O to represent the part of building with stunning harbor views. With simple, clean lines, the logo reflects the building’s modern elegance.

The Results

Demand exceeded all expectations. 50 Liberty sold out before construction was completed,

This reaffirmed Fan Pier’s appeal and the strength of a brand narrative built around lifestyle, proximity, and place. The development quickly became one of the Seaport’s most desirable residences, solidifying the Fan Pier identity as Boston’s premiere waterfront neighborhood.
