Éxito de Crystal Lagoons en Latinoamérica

Tras años de experiencia desarrollando una tecnología de última generación patentada en más de 190 países, Crystal Lagoons® hoy está presente más de 1.000 proyectos en los cinco continentes, siendo latinoamérica uno de los mercados más exitosos. Tras los inigualables éxitos de venta de proyectos que cuentan con lagunas cristalinas, ha quedado demostrado que el world’s top amenity no solo agrega valor a la vida de las personas, si no que también es una oportunidad de negocio sin precedentes en distintos mercados.

 

Rompiendo récords en Colombia

Baia Kristal, ubicado en Cartagena de Indias, que ha alcanzado récords de ventas en plena pandemia con Crystal Lagoons.

Baia Kristal es el primer desarrollo con una laguna cristalina con la tecnología de Crystal Lagoons en Colombia. El proyecto desarrollado por AED Constructores, tenía como objetivo inicial la venta de 20 unidades al mes (en base al estándar de la zona 10 unidades promedio mensual). Si bien esperaban vender el 60% de las unidades en un plazo de un año, la meta se cumplió en apenas 45 días.

Actualmente, la primera etapa de ventas ya se encuentra 95% vendida y la segunda ya comenzó. El efecto de sumar una laguna al proyecto tuvo un impacto en las ventas sobre las 90 unidades al mes y el aumento de precios por metro cuadrado, es equivalente a desarrollos frente al mar en Cartagena.

 

Éxito en Mar del Plata

Crystal Lagoons® lanzó un nuevo proyecto en Argentina. Esta vez, en el exclusivo balneario de Mar del Plata. Denominado Developer Aqua, el complejo iniciará sus obras en agosto y es en asociación con Grupo Developer.

Se trata de “un importante proyecto inmobiliario que promete replicar el encanto del Caribe a escasos minutos del centro de la ciudad. Con una laguna artificial de aguas cristalinas y un importante pulmón verde, Developer Aqua se erige como un barrio privado único en la región”, explica el portal de noticias 0223.

Con arenas blancas y aguas turquesas, la laguna artificial que promete emular la tranquilidad de las costas de Centroamérica tendrá una extensión de 2,6 hectáreas sobre un predio de 67 hectáreas que tendrá 472 lotes y 150 departamentos. Desde el imponente espejo de agua se organizarán los espacios comunes de recreación, edificios multifamiliares y lotes premium con salida privada a la laguna, además de un circuito de paseo y running dedicado.

“El barrio tiene su diseño en torno a la laguna. Abrazamos el uso responsable de los recursos naturales y trabajamos en profundidad para generar un impacto ambiental positivo. Vamos a plantar 20 mil árboles, los lotes van a tener terrazas verdes y paneles solares. Tiene un diseño responsable y buscamos que toda la familia pueda encontrar su espacio dentro del barrio”, señaló Leo Bagnato, empresario a cargo del proyecto.

Este nuevo proyecto de la multinacional de innovación en Argentina se suma al éxito de proyectos como Remeros Beach, Terralagos, Laguna Pilar, Vida Lagoon, Acquavista y La Mansa.

PAL® Projects: The New Paradigm in Entertainment, Urban Development, and Tourism

These are developments where anyone can enjoy an idyllic beach lifestyle through ticketed entry. Moreover, they transform any piece of land into the meeting point of the 21st century and the best business opportunity.

Public Access Lagoons® projects, also known as PAL® developments, developed by Crystal Lagoons, are redefining the concepts of entertainment, tourism, and urban development. These crystalline lagoons, accessible to all through ticketed entry, transform any piece of land into both the best business opportunity and the meeting point of the 21st century, creating destinations that combine technology, sustainability, and profitability.

The vision of Crystal Lagoons goes beyond offering a crystalline lagoon; it is about creating complete experiences that generate lasting value. With the ability to bring a tropical beach just steps away from people’s homes, PAL® complexes have become unparalleled attraction hubs, capable of hosting a wide variety of activities and events throughout the year.

The Heart of a New Lifestyle

PAL® lagoons are much more than a visual attraction: they are the social, recreational, and economic center of modern communities. These developments can host event centers, concerts, festivals, food fairs, sports activities, and many other initiatives throughout the year, becoming true hubs of entertainment and social interaction.

Examples of Projects Transforming Cities

  • Lagoon Park Bucharest (Romania): An urban oasis located in the heart of Bucharest, featuring a 2.2-acre crystalline lagoon that debuted with sold-out tickets more than a week in advance.
  • Epperson Lagoon (USA): With its 7.3-acre crystalline lagoon, it became the first real estate project transformed into a PAL® development.
  • Angel Lagoon (USA): Anchored by a 4.2-acre crystalline lagoon, it has been described as “a paradise just 40 minutes from Houston.”

A Profitable and Sustainable Business Model

PAL® projects generate multiple sources of revenue, making them a unique opportunity for investors and real estate developers. Among the most common models are:

  • Sale of daily tickets and annual memberships
  • Rental of spaces for events and corporate activities
  • Operation of restaurants, bars, shops, and beach clubs
  • Commercialization of naming rights and brand sponsorships

All of this is achieved through a scalable and sustainable operational model that reduces maintenance costs and maximizes long-term profitability.

Crystal Lagoons® Sustainable Technology

The patented Crystal Lagoons® technology allows large bodies of crystalline water to be maintained with minimal resource consumption:

  • Uses any type of water: fresh, salt, or brackish
  • Consumes up to 33 times less water than a golf course
  • Uses only 2% of the energy required by conventional filtration systems
  • Requires up to 100 times fewer chemicals than a traditional swimming pool

This efficiency makes PAL® projects a globally recognized model of sustainability and water efficiency.

Developments Anywhere in the World

One of the greatest advantages of PAL® projects is their geographical versatility. They can be developed in urban, rural, or inland areas and adapted to different scales and audiences.

Master Agreements: A Model for Global Expansion

Crystal Lagoons drives the growth of its PAL® projects through Master Agreements, strategic alliances that allow local partners to develop multiple lagoons under a single license.

This model:

  • Facilitates rapid expansion in key markets
  • Optimizes investment and development timelines
  • Guarantees the exclusive use of Crystal Lagoons® technology in each region

In this way, partners can capitalize on the enormous commercial potential of crystalline lagoons, benefiting from the global recognition of the Crystal Lagoons® brand.

Madrid Will Have Idyllic Beach Life Thanks to Crystal Lagoons

The project will become the largest urban beach in Europe, fulfilling a long-awaited aspiration for Madrid’s residents. It will be developed under the Public Access Lagoons® model, also known as PAL® projects, accessible to all through ticketed entry.

For a long time, the inhabitants of Madrid, Spain’s capital, have longed to experience beach life within the city. Today, that dream will come true thanks to Crystal Lagoons, as the municipal council of the town of Alovera has approved a project that will enable the development of the largest urban beach in Europe. This will put an end to the wait, allowing Madrid’s residents to enjoy crystalline waters and white sandy beaches.

The project

This is Alovera Beach, a new Public Access Lagoons® development, also known as a PAL® project, located just 30 minutes from Madrid. Its centerpiece will be a 5.2-acre lagoon powered by Crystal Lagoons® technology, accessible to all through ticketed entry. The body of water will be suitable for swimming and water sports, and will be surrounded by 16,000 m² of white sand beaches. 

Contribution to the Community

The complex will represent an investment of over € 20 million and create more than 140 direct jobs. In addition to the crystalline lagoon, it will feature a range of infrastructure characteristics from the PAL® model. This will include:

  • Sports facilities
  • Water park with slides and children’s pools
  • Water sports school – kayaking, paddleboarding –
  • Dining services
  • Events
  • Beach Club
  • Among other amenities, the project is expected to set a benchmark for aquatic entertainment in central Spain.

The project is an innovative concept that will transform the municipality of Alovera and boost tourism in the Guadalajara area, positioning it on the European map of technology, innovation, and sustainability, while establishing it as a unique reference for outdoor water sports. The complex will be open year-round and is expected to receive around 350,000 visitors annually.

Bringing the Beach to the City

Alovera Beach’s proximity to Madrid and its excellent accessibility will make this entertainment park an attractive option for thousands of people who would otherwise travel hundreds of kilometers to enjoy a beach experience, resulting in a significant reduction in CO2 emissions.

Sustainability as a Cornerstone

Like all lagoons developed by the multinational innovation company, Alovera Beach will be no exception and will feature Crystal Lagoons® sustainable technology, which:

  • It uses any type of water: fresh, salt, or brackish water, that has no alternative use
  • It consumes 33 times less water than an 18-hole golf course and 40% less water than a park of the same size
  • Its filtration system uses only 2% of the energy required by conventional systems
  • It employs up to 100 times fewer chemicals than a swimming pool

The Partnership and Urban Contribution

The complex is being developed by Grupo Rayet in partnership with Crystal Lagoons, becoming a model of urban regeneration that will revolutionize the local landscape with a high social impact.

Construction is scheduled to begin at the end of 2025, with a partial opening of the park expected in the spring of 2027.
