Crescent Bay is a 108-acre (440,000 m2) under-construction upscale mixed-use oceanfront development in Defence, Karachi, Pakistan. It is considered[by whom?] as one of the biggest projects in Pakistan.

The development feature's a series of high and mid-rise towers for residential and commercial use, a shopping centre, a five-star beachfront hotel and a tower located in the heart of the project. 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. Now, in 2018 two 38-storey buildings of Coral Tower is completed and are about to handover later this year while construction of Pearl Tower (3 towers) and Reef Tower (2 Tower) are progressing rapidly.
