Cambridge Harbor Branding

Cambridge Harbor reflects a vision shaped by decades of community commitment. By carefully balancing residential, commercial, and park spaces, this waterfront development plan preserves the area’s natural beauty while embracing the distinct Cambridge lifestyle — where heritage and water meet. This shared, vibrant space is a gift to residents and visitors alike, celebrating the spirit and legacy of the Cambridge community.

BCT Design Group, along with their extensive work on the masterplan for the project, was tasked with creating the brand surrounding the project and coordinating these efforts with the historic community.
