The Sea (Marine) Facade is a project of expansion of St. Petersburg, on Vasilievsky Island at the Neva river's mouth. In these new territories, the Passenger Port of St. Petersburg was created, along with a considerable amount of residential and commercial space. The Western Rapid Diameter highway{{cite web|url=http://www.mfspb.ru/index_eng.html |title=Marine Facade Management Company official site |publisher=Marine Facade Management Company |accessdate=2009-09-13 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090503113533/http://www.mfspb.ru/index_eng.html |archivedate=May 3, 2009 }} was built across these lands.

This project was implemented within the framework of a public-private partnership between the Saint Petersburg City Administration and the Marine Facade Management Company. The primary goal of this project was to build the Passenger Port of St. Petersburg by reclaiming new territories of 476 hectares from the Neva Bay in the Gulf of Finland. The total cost of the project is an estimated 3 billion dollars.

The project built over 1.5 million square metres of office space, 3 million square metres of residential space, as well as retail, entertainment and social objects, two subway stations, and a marina.{{citation needed|date=January 2025}}

In 2008, the first phase of work was finished, and an area of 150 hectares was reclaimed for the port building. Reclamation of an additional 20 hectares for the Western Rapid Diameter and the construction of buildings subsequently began.{{cite web|url=http://www.mfspb.ru/island_eng.html |title=Territory |publisher=Marine Facade Management Company official site |accessdate=2009-09-13 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090628120910/http://www.mfspb.ru/island_eng.html |archivedate=June 28, 2009 }}
