About this project
As the third and final residential building developed at Fan Pier, One Harbor Shore occupies a prominent position directly on Boston Harbor, completing the residential vision for the site. Following the success of Twenty Two Liberty and 50 Liberty, the project carried both symbolic and strategic significance—shaping how Fan Pier would ultimately be experienced and remembered as a fully realized waterfront neighborhood.
Adams Design partnered closely with the development team to define the brand from the ground up, establishing a clear point of view across naming, positioning, visual language, and messaging. The identity was designed to stand confidently alongside earlier phases of Fan Pier while expressing a more refined, residential sensibility befitting the site’s final and most direct connection to the harbor.
Rather than relying on overt luxury cues, the brand emphasizes tone, restraint, and lifestyle—reflecting the ease, activity, and social nature of living on the waterfront. The resulting system balances sophistication with approachability, allowing One Harbor Shore to feel established from day one while remaining flexible across print, digital, environmental, and on-site experiences.
