Resilient by Design: Coastal Green Roof at Gibson Point
Gibson Point, once a junkyard in Revere, MA, has been transformed into a 6-story multifamily development focused on wellness and sustainability. At the heart of the project is a 5,500 sq. ft. green roof, built and maintained by Recover Green Roofs, that exemplifies innovation in stormwater management and coastal resilience. Installed atop a Sika Sarnafil adhered roofing system by Boston Roofing, the steep-sloped green roof uses advanced ZinCo products, including georaster rows, shear curbs, and fiber mats to resist hurricane-force winds and prevent erosion.
Recover selected lightweight, water-retaining media to support drought-tolerant sedum mats and enhance performance on the sloped surface. Designed by Arrowstreet, the project also features a boardwalk to Gibson Park, rain gardens, and a vegetated shoreline, tying together urban living with ecological health. In partnership with Callahan Construction, Gibson Point is a model for regenerative, storm-ready design in coastal development.
