Hitting it out of the Park: Creating a Timeless Rooftop Retreat in Boston’s Fenway Park District

Completed in 2015, The Viridian by The Abbey Group offers an exceptional living experience in Boston’s historic Fenway Park district, combining modern amenities with the charm of the iconic ballpark. However, years of fluctuating New England weather took a toll on the original rooftop furniture, highlighting the need for durable, commercial-grade replacements capable of withstanding year-round use.

To address this challenge, The Viridian team partnered with Maglin’s Territory Manager, Barbara Ritter, to find stylish, weather-resilient outdoor furniture that would stand the test of time. This collaboration was a unique opportunity for Maglin to contribute to a project in the heart of Fenway’s vibrant, storied neighborhood.

Maglin collaborated closely with the Viridian team through multiple site visits, providing material samples, and layout presentations. This detailed groundwork helped inform design decisions and supported the selection of outdoor furniture that not only offers comfort and resilience but also complements the modern, urban aesthetic of the apartment building. Maglin’s decades of expertise and attention to detail proved instrumental in meeting the project’s demands.

The result is a rooftop retreat that blends aesthetics and functionality, providing residents with a delightful space to relax and enjoy the city’s energy. The collaboration between The Viridian ownership, residential management, and Maglin showcases the power of partnership in creating outdoor spaces that enhance both style and livability. Against the backdrop of Boston’s historic charm, these rooftop amenities offer an unrivaled experience for residents, bringing timeless design and modern durability to life.
