The building complex is formed by the crescent-shaped building with a diameter of 180 metres, along with a total of five smaller apartment buildings. The complex contains about 300 apartments, shops, offices and underground parking space. It forms part of a large urban redevelopment where the old southern railyard was converted into city blocks mainly with housing developments. The Crescent is flanked by Söder Torn, a residential highrise building designed by Henning Larsen.
In the architect's words, "The crescent façade is of simple, pure lines in accordance with traditional Nordic architecture."[citation needed]
