Legacy Partners is underway with Neptune Marina, a 526-unit apartment development in Marina del Rey. The project, designed by TCA Architects, will offer picturesque harbor views and a new marina with modern boater facilities.
The project’s clean, linear design is inspired by the era in which Marina del Rey was established, while incorporating nautical expressions through the usage of texture, stone accents and a neutral color palette with the addition of a modest yet playful splash of color. TCA Architects’ inclusion of post and beams with expansive windows, open floor plans and improved waterfront access creates a true indoor/outdoor living experience associated with living in the marina.
“The architectural goal for Neptune Marina is to adopt the site’s historical design elements and infuse them with a modern balance in order to resonate with the next generation of marina residents and boaters,” said Tim Mustard, Studio Director and the architect of record at TCA Architects. “The objective is not to replicate the past but for its influence to be present in our designs alongside vibrant, modern characteristics.”
Neptune Marina’s pedestrian sense of scale and enhanced public access and waterfront promenades provide an amicable balance between contributing to the walkability of the surrounding community while preserving privacy and exclusivity for residents. This is achieved through the incorporation of elevated courtyards only accessible to residents and strategically placed common spaces, such as lobbies and boater facilities on the public edges to supplement the surrounding promenades.
Scheduled for completion in summer 2018, Neptune Marina is located on Marquesas Way, between Basins A and B. Prior to breaking ground, Neptune Marina received the merit award for Best on the Boards Multifamily Project at the PCBC 2015 Conference.
