Crystal Lagoons® added value highlighted in Dubai

22/09/2021

According to real estate investment experts in Dubai, the largest crystalline lagoon in the world created by Crystal Lagoons®, located in the Mohammed Bin Rashid City, or MBR City as it is popularly known, will make soon become the center of life in Dubai, according to Columnist24.com website.

Expert analysis indicates that properties in MBR City have become the best place to invest in properties in the Middle East, because it meets the five criteria of excellence in this area:

Lifestyle: according to experts, the most important thing when investing is the lifestyle that is provided to the inhabitants. Properties that offer more amenities and services are the best investments. In the case of MBR City, the differentiator is its Crystal Lagoons® lagoon. This makes properties in this area the most expensive square meter in the emirate.
Zero Taxes: in Dubai properties do not pay taxes of any kind. What is invested goes directly to the owner’s pocket.
Location: MBR City is strategically located and well connected to the city, transportation, retail, hospitals, the airport, and other cities in the Emirates.
Potential: the best-return real estate investments are those located in the most appreciated areas of a city, by its own inhabitants. MBR has this potential, to become the backbone of the city, with everything at hand.
Other properties: all real estate developments, whether commercial or residential, are of a superior quality, varying between monumental and extra-luxurious.

The largest lagoon in the world

MBR City‘s project center is the world’s largest crystalline lagoon, an immense 40-hectare body of turquoise water, with which Crystal Lagoons® broke its third Guinness Record.

This gigantic lagoon stretches for seven kilometers and is surrounded by white sand beaches, palm trees and promenades. The environment will have lush green landscapes, which will give the impression of being in a true oasis.

Around the mega lagoon, corporate towers, industrial parks, sports areas, large public parks, water parks, the Meydan One Mall -the largest in the world-, more than 100 hotels and 1500 new super luxury residential condominiums will be built.

In fact, all the real estate projects overlooking the lagoon have become the most expensive square meters in Dubai.

Around the world, the concept and technology of Crystal Lagoons® have become the leading sales attraction, positively impacting its commercial success. Despite the credit and real estate challenges in the current economic conditions, Crystal Lagoons projects continue to defy the market with very impressive sales figures, particularly in the United States. The rankings from real estate consulting firms RCLCO and John Burns on the best-selling master-planned communities once again demonstrated that crystalline lagoons are a powerful purchasing driver. Sunterra, Mirada, Windsong Ranch, and Epperson secured prominent positions in 2023.

These projects ranked among the top 50 best-selling communities. Florida leads the ranking within the list, representing close to 40% of the sales for all top-ranked developments, followed by Texas with 37%. In both states, Crystal Lagoons has a significant presence.

In Texas, Sunterra stands out as a project that, even though the crystalline lagoon has not been built yet, serves as a commercial driver within the community, generating sales rates higher than the average, with a significant increase of 63% compared to 2022. This placed it 3rd nationally in both rankings, further boosting the strong performance of Houston, the top-selling metropolitan area in the country. Sunterra’s positive sales results had already been recorded in previous reports.

With the largest amenity powered by Crystal Lagoons® technology in the United States, Mirada in Florida, inaugurated in 2023, sets another record. With an 89% increase in sales, it ranks 17th. Its 15 acres of turquoise waters and white sandy beaches are a buying trigger.

Another notable project in Texas is Windsong Ranch, which has consistently set sales records, ranking 29th in the John Burns ranking. The project has also been nationally awarded as “Master Planned Community of the Year,” among other recognitions.

On the other hand, Epperson in Florida also ranked prominently in both studies, a commercial trend registered since its inauguration as a real estate project. The interest it generated was so significant that it had to be opened to the Public Access Lagoons™ model, also known as PAL™ developments.

The United States is the main operation of Crystal Lagoons worldwide, and it has more than 275 projects at different stages of development and negotiation. Among the most important are Mirada, Sole Mia, Balmoral, Windsong Ranch, Beachwalk, Southshore Bay, Aqua, among others. The recent joint venture to develop four Public Access Lagoons™ complexes, also known as PAL™, in Texas stands out and will add to the successful public access developments Epperson (Florida) and Lago Mar (Texas).

Crystal Lagoons: A Trend Taking Over the Hospitality Industry

02-04-2024

Several international media highlighted that the hotel sector is undergoing a real transformation thanks to the incorporation of innovative technologies. One of the technologies highlighted was precisely Crystal Lagoons, in parallel with process automation and artificial intelligence.

The sustainability of the multinational innovation company was key to being considered within these trends. “Currently, many travelers are seeking accommodations that are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Places like the AVA Resort Cancun, with its artificial lagoon of crystal-clear waters powered by Crystal Lagoons® technology, are examples of accommodations that stand out for their commitment to sustainability,” explains the Spanish portal 24 Matins.

The turquoise-colored body of water provides ideal conditions for sailing, swimming, kayaking, or relaxing, and thanks to state-of-the-art technology, it consumes 33 times less water than an 18-hole golf course, 40% less water than a park of the same size, and only 2% of the energy of a conventional pool.

After transforming the real estate industry and the urban entertainment landscape with its innovative Public Access Lagoons™ projects, the multinational innovation company is now generating a new revolution, this time in the hotel sector.

Recognizing the transformative value of Crystal Lagoons® technology, leading global hotel chains such as Marriott, Radisson, Conrad, Hyatt Regency, and AVA Resort itself, have incorporated this amenity as a centerpiece in their projects.

“Every hotel project incorporating a Crystal Lagoons amenity becomes the most attractive destination in the area. These bodies of water change the paradigm of vacation developments with world-class hotel and resort standards”, explains Iván Manzur, Senior Vice President of Sales at Crystal Lagoons US Corp.

The multinational water innovation company already has developments of this kind, in which crystalline lagoons are the differentiating factor in the United States, Mexico, Indonesia, Romania, and Uruguay, among other countries.

“The crystalline lagoons achieve unprecedented results, such as bringing a beach lifestyle to Orlando—an entertainment option it didn’t have—or, counterintuitively, replacing the sea in iconic tourist destinations like Cancun,” emphasizes Jean Pierre Juanchich, Global Business Director of Crystal Lagoons.

Crystal Lagoons PAL™ projects are transforming and enriching urban life by offering new entertainment destinations not limited exclusively to residents of private real estate developments with crystalline lagoons. These developments are positively impacting the lives of millions of people, bringing a piece of the ocean to the city center and making it accessible just steps from their homes.
