World interest for new Crystal Lagoons projects in Florida

One of the most iconic tourist areas in Florida is Orlando. Showcases every imaginable infrastructure except beach life. In 2021, was tapped into by ADËLON Capital, a renowned developer and asset management and administration firm, and business partner of Crystal Lagoons.

Media from around the world, including ABC News, picked up the news about the second exclusivity agreement that Crystal Lagoons and ADËLON Capital recently signed for new complexes in Brevard County and other territories on the east coast of Florida.

The city showcases every type of entertainment offering and infrastructure imaginable, except it lacks beach life. The two companies signed a master agreement for the development of at least five Public Access Lagoons™ projects, also known as PAL™ projects, the first of which is to be built next year.

Since entering the U.S., Florida has been one of the most dynamic markets for the multinational’s crystalline lagoon projects. The first development was Epperson, which from the outset was a commercial success. Every year it leads the rankings of the best-selling real estate developments in Tampa and the U.S. In fact, when part of the complex’s artificial lagoon opened to the general public, it triggered a wave of ticket sales worth US$50,000 daily with up to 1,200 visitors every day. Tickets began selling out weeks in advance.

Artificial lagoons are the crossways and driving force behind Crystal Lagoons projects in the U.S. This is apparent in the different rankings such as that of RCLCO and John Burns Real Estate Consulting. In fact, all of the projects with Crystal Lagoons amenities that are at the sales stages in Florida are among the top 50 best-selling real estate projects annually,” says Iván Manzur, Senior VP of Sales, Crystal Lagoons US Corp.

A new Crystal Lagoons project is advancing in Mexico, one of the main Latin American markets for the multinational innovation company. It is Le Parc Cancún, a complex located 7.5 kilometers from the beach in Cancun. The 0.8-hectare crystalline lagoon with white sandy beaches around it will create a third coastline, allowing the area’s climate to be enjoyed all year round.

Sales success

The luxury development, consisting of two 24-story towers with 374 units, registered historic sales records for the region during its launch in September 2023 and its pre-sale period. The first tower sold 77% of its units and generated a capital gain of over 20% in less than one year.

The complex reinvents luxury and wellness in the Mexican Caribbean with its cutting-edge design and unique amenities with Crystal Lagoons® technology, which enables:

  • Swimming
  • Kayaking
  • Paddleboarding
  • Water volleyball 
  • Relaxing boat rides 

Crystalline lagoon as a key element

Daniel Masliah, developer at Inzigna Capital, highlighted the impact of the crystalline lagoon as the project’s most significant and differentiating feature. “It is what makes Le Parc Cancún unique. Even though I develop projects in different locations, this is where I would genuinely love to own an apartment,” he stated.

In addition to the turquoise-water lagoon, the project offers over 35 amenities designed to blend seamlessly with the paradisiacal surroundings. From wellness facilities to high-end entertainment options, these features promise to elevate the quality of life to a new level, redefining luxury and comfort.

“Mexican developers have found that Crystal Lagoons® technology accelerates the sales velocity and increases the value per square meter compared to similar projects in the same areas. On the other hand, these crystalline bodies of water improve people’s quality of life,” explains Francisco Matte, regional director of Crystal Lagoons for Latin America.

Sustainable Technology

These large crystalline bodies of water boost various urban and tourist areas with environmentally friendly lagoons. Crystal Lagoons® technology has received numerous international awards for its sustainability, certified by Bureau Veritas for its low water usage—40% less than a green area of the same size and 33 times less than an 18-hole golf course—and energy—only 2% of the energy needed by conventional pool filtration systems.

A new Public Access Lagoons® project, also known as PAL®, and a hospitality development are advancing in Europe, specifically in Seville. It is a new Central District Lagoon City complex, which Crystal Lagoons is developing in partnership with Forty Management, an award-winning Romanian real estate developer.

The project will feature a stunning 1.49-hectare lagoon powered by Crystal Lagoons® technology as its centerpiece, surrounded by white sand beaches. Around it, the development will include:

  • A 200-room luxury hotel
  • Three aparthotel towers
  • An event center
  • International restaurants
  • A Sky Bar
  • A promenade and bespoke services will complement the lagoon, epitomizing the quintessential PAL™ experience.

Thanks to its turquoise-colored body of water, it will be a transformative development spanning 12 hectares that will offer a unique lifestyle destination. This project will revolutionize local tourism in Seville and enhance visitors’ stay in the city.

“The partnership with Forty Management has been very successful, demonstrating the added value of Crystal Lagoons® technology and how this disruptive innovation makes it possible to bring sustainable beach living anywhere in the world,” explains Jean Pierre Juanchich, Global Business Director of Crystal Lagoons.

The two companies also have another mega-contract to develop projects in Romania, the Czech Republic, Poland, and Hungary. Among the standout developments in this agreement is Lagoon Park Bucharest, a PAL® complex that sold out a week before launch and has been successful since it opened.

The project in Seville is also proof of the success of Crystal Lagoons in the hospitality industry, where numerous global hotel chains such as Marriott, Radisson, Conrad, Hyatt Regency, and AVA Resort, have recognized the transformative value of Crystal Lagoons® technology, incorporating this amenity as a centerpiece in their developments.

The dream of living steps away from a white sandy beach and turquoise waters while remaining minutes from Buenos Aires’ iconic Obelisk has become a reality thanks to the Crystal Lagoons® concept and technology in the award-winning Terralagos project.

This unique development offers a coastal city lifestyle, where residents can enjoy beach life in close contact with nature every day of the year. This idyllic Caribbean-like setting surrounding the 5-hectare navigable crystalline lagoon not only enhances the landscape but also allows residents and visitors to practice various water sports.

Terralagos was the first urban project in Argentina to incorporate the revolutionary Crystal Lagoons® concept and technology, and it has been a success from the beginning. It has sold more than 1,000 lots, achieved record-speed apartment sales, and has a waiting list for the upcoming buildings. 

According to the newspaper La Nación, “Terralagos offers a lagoon with Crystal Lagoons® technology, an impressive body of water spanning over 5 hectares with a brilliant turquoise color, surrounded by sandy beaches and palm trees—the standout feature that all residents of this ‘unique’ private community enjoy.”

The complex also includes 1,280 lots—ranging from 800 to 1,100 square meters—and 450 apartments distributed across low-rise buildings and townhouses, spanning 270 hectares. All properties feature the unique advantage of direct views of the crystalline lagoon, which allows for a wide range of activities and water sports, such as swimming, sailing, yachting, windsurfing, kayaking, diving, canoeing, rowing, and many more.

Beyond the lagoon, Terralagos offer top-tier amenities, including the Kids Club and the Main Clubhouse, which span 1,400 square meters. The complex also features social and sports infrastructure, including tennis courts, soccer fields, a hockey field, a sports center, a sauna, a gym, and a spa area.

Argentina is the main market for Crystal Lagoons in South America, after Chile. With rapid expansion in the country, the multinational innovation company currently has 43 projects in various development and negotiation stages in various cities.
