Crescent Bay is a 108-acre (440,000 m2) under-construction upscale mixed-use oceanfront development in DHA, Karachi, Pakistan.
The development feature's a series of high and mid-rise towers for residential and commercial use, a shopping centre and five-star beachfront hotel. The development includes approximately 4,000 residential apartments. Launched on May 31, 2006, when completed the development would be the first development with a private beach and also the first based on reclaimed land.[1]
Even-though the development sold out in 2008,[2] it has faced significant delay's, initially due to the liquidity crisis faced by Emaar Properties following the 2008 financial crisis. Later, due to a legal battle with DHA Ltd for allegedly for breach of contract.[3] The construction resumed in mid-2015 and is contracted to NESPAK.[4][5]
