Imagine experiencing pristine beaches right in the heart of the city. With Crystal Lagoons, this vision becomes a reality, offering Atlanta a transformative business opportunity.
What is Crystal Lagoons?
Crystal Lagoons is a multinational company that has developed and patented an innovative technology that allows building and maintaining unlimited-size turquoise lagoons at low cost. These pristine waters, framed by white sand beaches and palm trees, provide a perfect escape for swimming, water sports, and leisure—all within a safe, controlled environment.
As Atlanta continues to grow, the demand for unique urban spaces becomes increasingly critical. Crystal Lagoons presents a business model perfectly aligned with Atlanta’s ambitions to elevate quality of life, stimulate economic growth, and champion sustainability.
Public Access Lagoons® projects, also known as PAL® developments, offer year-round beach life and entertainment through ticketed access, turning a lagoon into a highly profitable venture. These developments bring the allure of a tropical beach experience right to residents’ doorsteps, seamlessly blending natural beauty with urban convenience. Here’s why Atlanta stands to gain from embracing PAL® projects:
1. Enhancing Urban Recreation
Meeting Demand: Atlanta’s booming population is driving the need for high-quality recreational spaces. PAL® projects offer a unique alternative to parks or indoor options, featuring expansive crystalline lagoons that can be enjoyed all year round.
Diverse Activities: From swimming and kayaking to beach sports, these lagoons anchor vibrant activities. They also serve as hubs for dining, retail, concerts, and events, creating a dynamic social environment that appeals to all ages.
Beach Life in the City: PAL® projects redefine urban living by bringing the beach to Atlanta. Now, residents can enjoy a beach day without ever leaving the city, transforming their lifestyle and making the city more appealing and vibrant.
2. Boosting Economic Development
Attracting Tourism: PAL® projects are proven tourist magnets globally. In Atlanta, they could elevate the city’s appeal as a destination, driving foot traffic, boosting local businesses, and fueling economic growth.
Increasing Property Values: Proximity to a PAL® complex significantly enhances property values. This boosts real estate demand and attracts investments in residential and commercial developments, stimulating the local economy.
3. Promoting Environmental Sustainability
Eco-Friendly Technology: Crystal Lagoons® technology is designed with sustainability at its core. These lagoons use a low-energy filtration system, minimizing water and energy consumption—perfectly aligning with Atlanta’s sustainability goals.
Bureau Veritas, an internationally renowned certification and verification company, externally verified our technology’s efficient water and energy use compared to traditional swimming pools and other amenities. For example, a lagoon of 1 ha / 2.5 ac uses up to 50X less energy than a swimming pool of the same size. 40% less water than a park the same size, and 33X less water than an 18-hole golf course.
Green Integration: PAL® projects harmonize with green spaces and urban landscapes, enhancing Atlanta’s urban fabric with visually stunning and environmentally friendly spaces that support biodiversity and improve air quality.
4. Enhancing Community Well-Being
Elevating Quality of Life: Well-maintained recreational spaces are crucial for community well-being. PAL® projects provide a safe, enjoyable environment for relaxation, social interaction, and physical activity, contributing to Atlanta’s residents’ overall happiness and health.
Fostering Connections: PAL® projects become vibrant community hubs, hosting social events and cultural activities that strengthen community bonds and foster a sense of belonging.
5. Driving Innovation and City Branding
Positioning Atlanta as a Leader: By implementing PAL® projects, Atlanta can position itself as a forward-thinking city that embraces innovation. This can attract industry leaders, investors, and media attention, further enhancing the city’s reputation.
Boosting Brand Appeal: PAL® projects can be a cornerstone of Atlanta’s branding strategy, showcasing the city’s commitment to enriching residents’ lives through unique, world-class amenities. This reinforces Atlanta’s identity as a vibrant and dynamic urban center.
Through PAL® projects, Crystal Lagoons offers Atlanta an extraordinary business opportunity. These projects enhance recreation, drive economic growth, promote sustainability, and improve community well-being. By adopting this innovative concept, Atlanta can tackle key urban challenges, draw visitors, and lead in modern urban development.
