# Manmade Mountain Ranges Azerbaijan and BIG Team Up for Leisure Peaks By Going Like Sixty | Published 2009-02-12 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mountainous-architecture-azerbaijan-and-big-team-up-for-leisure-peaks References: [big.dk](http://www.big.dk/) If you took a million square meters of totally undeveloped land in a relatively undeveloped nation, what would you build? Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) is going to attempt to build a mountain range. The Zira Island Master plan in Baku, Azerbaijan will be seven “leisure peaks” to reflect the seven mountain peaks that Mother Nature built. It will be a 100% sustainable ecosystem. **Implications** - Wealthy consumers are constantly seeking new ways to experience luxury. By constructing a mountain range or resort in remote, uninhabited locations, companies or developers can provide wealthy consumers with a prestigious experience. Companies that can offer a private, high-end experience are going to find high rates of success with wealthy consumers in search of such an experience. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 91% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Leisure Mountain Ranges:** Developers could capitalize on the demand for luxury experiences by constructing mountain ranges or resorts in remote locations. - **Sustainable Ecosystems:** The demand for sustainable tourism provides an opportunity for companies to create experiences that prioritize environmental conservation. - **Hyper-private Experiences:** Providing a completely private and high-end experience will appeal to the wealthy consumers in search of exclusive accommodations and amenities. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Hospitality:** The hospitality industry can capitalize on the trend of constructing remote luxury mountain ranges or resorts, providing high-end, ultra-private experiences. - **Real Estate Development:** Real estate developers can take advantage of the demand for sustainable and environmentally friendly buildings and create unique, nature-inspired spaces for leisure or residential use. - **Tourism:** The tourism industry can offer hyper-private experiences in exclusive locations, while prioritizing sustainable and environmentally conscious practices to cater to high-end consumers seeking unique experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Bridge-Defining Tranquil Cities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mindfulness-city.md) - [Ski Resort Crystalline Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trojena-ski-resort.md) - [Mountainous Holiday Ski Resorts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/not-a-hotel-rusutsu.md) - [Mountaintop Viewpoint Ski Resorts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trojena.md) - [Desert-Inspired Campground Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/el-cosmico-project.md) - [Japanese Island Holiday Villas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/not-a-hotel.md) - [Reanimated Power Plant Parks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manresa-island.md) - [Curated Mountainous Stays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apex-collection.md) - [Terraced Urban Landmarks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/go-park-sai-sha.md)
