Swimming pools are a thing of the past. That’s the message from Crystal Lagoons, a global leader in water innovation, as they launch their most disruptive concept yet: Small Lagoons by Crystal Lagoons™, a compact amenity designed to transform developments into beach-front oases.
Crystal Lagoons has been recognized worldwide for nearly two decades for creating stunning crystalline lagoons that turn any project into a resort-style destination. This vision is now being extended to a broader range of developments across Phoenix and the Valley of the Sun, from fast-growing suburbs in Scottsdale and Chandler to urban mixed-use projects downtown.
Targeted to fit spaces under 1 acre, including a new size down to 0.5 acre, this amenity makes the idyllic beach lifestyle accessible to residential, multifamily, and hotel projects without the massive footprint or high investment traditionally associated with significant water features.
A Smart Solution for Phoenix Developers
The real estate and hospitality sectors in Phoenix are under constant pressure to stand out in a booming market. Whether it’s a new master-planned community, a multifamily project, or a boutique desert hotel, developers are looking for unique, sustainable amenities that won’t inflate costs or exacerbate water usage concerns.
Small Lagoons by Crystal Lagoons™ provide the perfect solution, combining innovation, sustainability, and profitability in a new, compact format. These crystalline lagoons cost up to eight times less to build than traditional pools and generate far greater appeal, offering a unique selling point in Arizona’s competitive landscape.
“We are excited to bring this sustainable and profitable product to Florida. Small Lagoons by Crystal Lagoons™ are an ideal solution for developers who want to offer a unique, differentiating amenity that provides a resort-like feel without traditional pools' high construction and maintenance costs,"
Benjamin Fischmann
Regional Director at Crystal Lagoons US Corp.
A Game-Changer for Multifamily Projects
Multifamily developments in dense metropolitan areas, such as Tempe or Mesa, often face severe space and budget constraints. In these competitive markets, a traditional pool may not be enough to attract and retain residents. Small Lagoons by Crystal Lagoons™ step in to create a resort-style environment, significantly increasing rental appeal, resident satisfaction, and long-term retention. Today’s renters, from young professionals to families, are looking for experiential living—and the sought-after beach lifestyle is a compelling draw.
These lagoons can also serve as community hubs, hosting events, water sports, and social gatherings that foster a sense of community, a key factor for long-term occupancy.
More Than a Pool, a Destination
While pools offer seasonal refreshment, they rarely add long-term value. Small Lagoons by Crystal Lagoons™ transform every square foot into an experience. Featuring turquoise waters, white sandy beaches, and lagoon-side programming, they turn underutilized land into a stunning year-round destination, especially when combined with the option for heated water.
These lagoons become a magnet for residents and tourists, boosting sales velocity, raising property values, and increasing hotel occupancy rates.
