Overview of Marina Bay

Marina Bay is a purpose-built residential high-rise completed in 1984. The building features a Y-shaped architectural footprint and a brick exterior. The 13-storey structure provides views of the Ottawa River. Interior living and dining areas are designed as glass-enclosed solariums, making use of floor-to-ceiling windows and high ceilings to increase natural light. The structural layout uses glass-heavy facades as a primary functional feature, distinguishing the property from other residential towers of the same period.
