High-Rise Residential - Marina BayStories up,
Stories up,
over the
water.
Crown replaced the EPDM rubber roof on the west tower at Marina Point, working many stories above Quincy's Marina Bay while residents stayed in their homes.
- Location
- Marina Bay, Quincy
- Building
- Occupied residential high-rise
- Scope
- EPDM membrane replacement
- Constraint
- High-rise access and exposure
The ChallengeEverything
Everything
is harder
at altitude.
A waterfront high-rise where every material, every worker, and every scrap of tear-off had to move many stories up and back down - safely, and without disturbing the residents below.
Starting conditions
High-rise work turns routine logistics into planning problems. Staging, hoisting, tie-off, and debris removal all change when the deck is that far off the ground.
The tower sits directly on Marina Bay, so wind and salt exposure shaped both the membrane selection and the way it was fastened and terminated.
The ApproachHow Crown
How Crown
built it.
Documented, sequenced, and largely self-performed. Here is how the work came together on site.
- 01
Plan the lift
Access, staging, and debris routes were settled before the first roll went up, with fall protection sized for a high-rise deck.
- 02
Detail for exposure
Membrane and terminations were specified for a waterfront tower: constant wind, salt air, and full sun on an unshaded deck.
- 03
Work around residents
Phasing and daily scheduling were set so residents kept normal use of their homes and the building's amenity decks.
- 04
Match the building
The finished assembly reads flat and clean against the tower's white, stepped modern silhouette rather than fighting it.
The ResultSealed
Sealed
against
the bay.
The west tower's roof is built for the weather that actually hits it - waterfront wind, salt, and sun - and no resident was displaced to get there.

Slate and copper, done right.
Restoration is Crown's craft. If your building carries a historic slate or copper roof, see how we keep it watertight for another century.
