Federation Island
Federation Island (rus: Остров "Федерация") is an artificial island archipelago that was projected to be located off the coast of Sochi, Russia, in the Black Sea.
History
The archipelago complex was designed by Erick van Egeraat and will contain residences, hotels, cultural, leisure and recreational facilities and will be built in the shape of Russia. The $6.2 billion project was announced at the International Investment Forum 2007 and was approved by president Vladimir Putin. The project would have been developed by M-Industries of St. Petersburg in co-operation with Dutch engineering companies Witteveen & Bos and Van Oord.[1]
The project was frozen in 2012.[2]
