Crystal Lagoons® Sales Success in Dubai: Tilal Al Ghaf Sells Out in 7 Days

Sales of the third phase of Tilal Al Ghaf, a residential development anchored by a Crystal Lagoons® tropical water amenity, have registered unprecedented demand. The premium residential destination, located in Dubai, has confirmed that 322 homes were sold within just 48 hours, building on the emphatic success of the first and second phases that sold out within seven days.

The accomplishment was applauded by Dubai’s government media office.

With infrastructure work underway and handover expected as early as December 2022, the community is fast becoming one of Dubai’s most sought-after destinations with more than 900 units now sold. The volume of interest and pace of investment are testament to this highly in demand destination and the unique environments and amenities it has to offer.

World’s top amenity™

Tilal Al Ghaf features a selection of retail options, a world-renowned school, tree trails, 18km of cycling and jogging trails as well as nature-inspired outdoor amenities, but is nestled around white sand beaches and a crystalline lagoon. Powered by Crystal Lagoons pioneering technology, it is known as the world’s top amenity.

Crystal Lagoons has managed to create idyllic beaches with lagoons of crystalline water and excellent quality, in previously unimaginable places, and changes the landscape by creating a breathtaking turquoise water destination that can be enjoyed yearround.

This unique concept and technology has changed the real estate paradigm of “location, location, location” and developers have confirmed they add premium values to real estate projects. Examples of this are Epperson, Balmoral and Windsong Ranch in the U.S. and San Alfonso del Mar in Chile, to name a few.

Another advantage this technology has to offer, which has been patented in over 190 countries around the world, is that it uses up to 100 times less chemicals than conventional swimming pool or drinking water treatment technologies and consumes just 2% of the energy needed by conventional swimming pool filtration systems.

Lagoon Pilar, strategically located in Buenos Aires, the fastest growing area of the Pilar area, is one of Crystal Lagoons’ most successful projects in Argentina. Powered by Crystal Lagoons and Grupo Monarca, this development stands out for being anchored by an 8,6-acre crystalline lagoon, the heart of the project. More than just a distinctive visual element, this lagoon has been instrumental in boosting the project’s added value and significantly accelerating the sale speed of the marketed properties.

Crystal Lagoons® technology has proven to be a key differentiator for Lagoon Pilar, as confirmed by Luis Signoris, the project’s developer. “Crystal Lagoons generates a significant increase in the square meter value, surpassing the standard of other projects in the area.” The executive emphasizes that this amenity offers residents a unique lifestyle and impacts those who visit Lagoon Pilar,. “We aimed to have that exact impact when we decided to incorporate a crystalline lagoon into the project.”

The artificial lagoon is surrounded by 800 premium residential units and a complete infrastructure, including a clubhouse, restaurants, spa, and sports areas, among other services. Additionally, it features three white sand beaches, allowing residents to enjoy the lagoon all day long and engage in various water activities such as Stand Up Paddle, kayaking, windsurfing, and swimming.

“In Argentina, beyond the different economic situations, the success of Crystal Lagoons does not stop. Projects incorporating lagoons generate exponential added value in the real estate sector. The projection is even more positive because an increase in foreign investment is expected in the coming months, which will further boost the real estate market”, explains Francisco Matte, Crystal Lagoons’ regional director for Latin America.

The press continues highlighting the world’s largest crystalline lagoon with Crystal Lagoons® technology at Citystars Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt. This stunning amenity in the middle of the Sinai desert, spanning 28.8 acres of turquoise waters, has been the subject of numerous reports highlighting its unique features.

Since 2015, this mega-project has held Crystal Lagoons’ second Guinness World Record as the largest crystalline body of water globally, surpassing its record from 2007 when the iconic San Alfonso del Mar crystalline lagoon was certified as the world’s largest.

Citystars Sharm El Sheikh results from an association between the Crystal Lagoons and the Sharbatly family, one of the oldest and most prominent in the Middle East and Africa. Crystal Lagoons® technology has added real estate value to the development by transforming undeveloped desert lands into a paradisiacal setting.

The monumental crystalline lagoon at Citystars Sharm El Sheikh, in the Sinai, is supplied without use with saline water from desert wells, creating tropical seas amid an arid environment. 

Crystal Lagoons® technology has achieved what was previously thought technically impossible: the construction of artificial lagoons of unlimited sizes anywhere in the world, even in the heart of the desert. Today, this innovation allows for the idyllic beach experience to be brought to unexpected locations, gaining worldwide recognition for its transformative impact.
