The Crescent Development Project or The Crescent Bay (formerly known as Caspian Plus) is an under construction skyscraper complex which is being built on the Caspian Sea coast in Baku. The complex comprises an offshore hotel (Crescent Hotel), office tower (Crescent City), residential tower, and a retail and entertainment centre (Crescent Place). The project is intended to be an architectural landmark of Azerbaijan.〔(Crescent Hotel )〕 ==History== In February 2008, ''skyscrapernews.com'', a well-known architectural review website, published an article about two projects designed by the Korean company, Heerim Architects, for construction in Baku. The projects, both with a lunar theme, were described as "an attempt to reinvent the concept of the skyscraper beyond the traditional".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Full Moon Rising )〕 The article described two skyscraper complexes, proposed for construction on neighbouring peninsulas, on opposite shores of Baku Bay. The first, Full Moon Bay, was to be constructed on the western side of the bay. It included a 158-meter, 35-storey, discoid hotel called "Palace of the Winds 1 and 2".〔 The second complex, "Caspian Plus", had been proposed for construction on the eastern edge of Baku Bay near the seaport, acting as a counterpoint to "Full Moon Bay". Initially, the second project included a 32-storey crescent-shaped hotel (standing on its "horns" offshore), four high-rise residential buildings, and a 43-story business centre standing 203 metres tall (now called Crescent City Tower).〔 The fate of the related projects remained uncertain until October 2009 when foundation work in the location of the "Caspian Plus" complex was started.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Crescent Development Project - 35-52 fl - 210 m - U/C - Page 2 - SkyscraperCity )〕 The project has since been modified. A trio of high-rise residential buildings was removed to avoid visual overlapping of two other buildings (Port Baku Towers and Port Baku Residence). After modification, the project consisted of a hotel ("The Crescent Hotel"), an office tower ("The Crescent City"), and a high-rise residential building with a podium ("The Crescent Place"). The previous name of the project, "Caspian Plus", was changed to "The Crescent Development Project".〔(Lotos.com )〕 The project Full Moon Bay was cancelled. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Crescent Development project」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
