The Latest Innovation by Crystal Lagoons® That Guarantees Beach Life Year-Round

25/01/2021

One of the most important milestones for Crystal Lagoons® was the implementation of the Public Access Lagoons™. Also known as PAL™, these projects create a meeting place for events, commerce and retail anchored by a crystalline lagoon, and have allowed the company to expand its amenities globally, with important contracts for numerous lagoons in Korea, the United States, and Malaysia, to name a few.

However, the innovation company has announced a pioneering technology that will ensure the lagoons can be enjoyed 365 days a year.

Sustainable technology at low costs

Known as Hot Reef™, the new technology keeps the water in the lagoons at 82°F, providing optimal bathing conditions similar to tropical seas during the summer, as well as in colder periods.

Like all the technologies created by Crystal Lagoons, it is sustainable and eco-friendly, and will enhance the tremendous success of the PAL™ business model, which has already been patented in more than 190 countries. It will be incorporated into all the lagoons powered by Crystal Lagoons technology and at low costs.

Additionally, during the colder months, the areas with Hot Reef technology can be covered by domes, ensuring use of the lagoons throughout the year, including the colder winter months and rainy days.

Crystal Lagoons Expands in Orlando with Four New Projects

Crystal Lagoons continues to deepen its success in the United States, its most important market worldwide, with over 275 projects in different stages of development or negotiation. This time, with a new Master Agreement—an exclusivity agreement for developing Public Access Lagoons®, also known as PAL®, real estate, and hybrid projects in a specific territory, which in this case is the Orlando Metropolitan Area, Florida.

Crystalline lagoon: a differentiating feature

These developments, whose centerpiece will be a lagoon powered by Crystal Lagoons® technology, will bring idyllic beach life to the most visited destination in the U.S., with 75 million tourists a year, which offers a wide range of entertainment but lacks a coastline. In this city, the multinational innovation company already has the successful Evermore Orlando Resort project, one of Florida’s largest tourism developments, anchored by an 8-acre crystalline lagoon.

The agreement is in partnership with Grupo ECIPSA, a real estate holding company with a presence in six countries. The multinational innovation company, founded by Fernando Fischmann, has signed multiple Master Agreements and projects with Grupo ECIPSA for developments in Israel, Brazil, Paraguay, and Orlando.

“Crystal Lagoons projects in the United States have been a success across the real estate, PAL®, and hybrid development sectors, and we are confident that these complexes with Grupo ECIPSA will be as well. Orlando is one of the most interesting and attractive markets for Crystal Lagoons, given its millions of annual visitors, lack of beaches, and its focus on the world of entertainment, which aligns perfectly with our PAL® concept,” explains Iván Manzur, Vice President of Sales at Crystal Lagoons US Corp.

PAL® projects

PAL® projects, accessible to all through ticketed entry, have the unique appeal of bringing idyllic beach life steps away from homes in the middle of the city while also offering event spaces with unparalleled scenic beauty, thanks to its large turquoise crystalline lagoon surrounded by white sandy beaches, which are illuminated at night, creating a magical ambiance. The infrastructure includes terraces, amphitheaters, domes, esplanades, commercial areas, and entertainment spaces.

This Master Agreement adds to the multinational innovation company’s other agreements in the U.S. in states such as:

North and South Carolina
Georgia
Texas

Le Parc Cancun Project redefines luxury and well-being in Mexico

A new Crystal Lagoons project is advancing in Mexico, one of the main Latin American markets for the multinational innovation company. It is Le Parc Cancún, a complex located 7.5 kilometers from the beach in Cancun. The 0.8-hectare crystalline lagoon with white sandy beaches around it will create a third coastline, allowing the area’s climate to be enjoyed all year round.

Sales success

The luxury development, consisting of two 24-story towers with 374 units, registered historic sales records for the region during its launch in September 2023 and its pre-sale period. The first tower sold 77% of its units and generated a capital gain of over 20% in less than one year.

The complex reinvents luxury and wellness in the Mexican Caribbean with its cutting-edge design and unique amenities with Crystal Lagoons® technology, which enables:

Swimming
Kayaking
Paddleboarding
Water volleyball
Relaxing boat rides

Crystalline lagoon as a key element

Daniel Masliah, developer at Inzigna Capital, highlighted the impact of the crystalline lagoon as the project’s most significant and differentiating feature. “It is what makes Le Parc Cancún unique. Even though I develop projects in different locations, this is where I would genuinely love to own an apartment,” he stated.

In addition to the turquoise-water lagoon, the project offers over 35 amenities designed to blend seamlessly with the paradisiacal surroundings. From wellness facilities to high-end entertainment options, these features promise to elevate the quality of life to a new level, redefining luxury and comfort.

“Mexican developers have found that Crystal Lagoons® technology accelerates the sales velocity and increases the value per square meter compared to similar projects in the same areas. On the other hand, these crystalline bodies of water improve people’s quality of life,” explains Francisco Matte, regional director of Crystal Lagoons for Latin America.

Sustainable Technology

These large crystalline bodies of water boost various urban and tourist areas with environmentally friendly lagoons. Crystal Lagoons® technology has received numerous international awards for its sustainability, certified by Bureau Veritas for its low water usage—40% less than a green area of the same size and 33 times less than an 18-hole golf course—and energy—only 2% of the energy needed by conventional pool filtration systems.

Crystal Lagoons Project Advances in Seville, Europe

A new Public Access Lagoons® project, also known as PAL®, and a hospitality development are advancing in Europe, specifically in Seville. It is a new Central District Lagoon City complex, which Crystal Lagoons is developing in partnership with Forty Management, an award-winning Romanian real estate developer.

The project will feature a stunning 1.49-hectare lagoon powered by Crystal Lagoons® technology as its centerpiece, surrounded by white sand beaches. Around it, the development will include:

A 200-room luxury hotel
Three aparthotel towers
An event center
International restaurants
A Sky Bar
A promenade and bespoke services will complement the lagoon, epitomizing the quintessential PAL™ experience.

Thanks to its turquoise-colored body of water, it will be a transformative development spanning 12 hectares that will offer a unique lifestyle destination. This project will revolutionize local tourism in Seville and enhance visitors’ stay in the city.

“The partnership with Forty Management has been very successful, demonstrating the added value of Crystal Lagoons® technology and how this disruptive innovation makes it possible to bring sustainable beach living anywhere in the world,” explains Jean Pierre Juanchich, Global Business Director of Crystal Lagoons.

Contribution to the area

With over 100 million euros in investment and creating more than 600 jobs, this project highlights the growing demand for sustainable and recreational projects worldwide.

Crystal Lagoons and Forty Management Partnership

The complex is part of the master agreement—exclusivity agreement for developing PAL®, real estate, and hybrid projects within a specific territory—that both companies signed to bring beach life through stunning crystalline lagoons to Rome, Milan, Toulouse, two Romanian cities, and Seville.

The two companies also have another mega-contract to develop projects in Romania, the Czech Republic, Poland, and Hungary. Among the standout developments in this agreement is Lagoon Park Bucharest, a PAL® complex that sold out a week before launch and has been successful since it opened.

The project in Seville is also proof of the success of Crystal Lagoons in the hospitality industry, where numerous global hotel chains such as Marriott, Radisson, Conrad, Hyatt Regency, and AVA Resort, have recognized the transformative value of Crystal Lagoons® technology, incorporating this amenity as a centerpiece in their developments.
