Crystal Lagoons, the patented technology developer of giant crystalline lagoons, is expanding its global presence with its first project in India.

The US$200 million project will be home to 8,000 luxury residential units and 50,000 people when completed. The development will also cater to a burgeoning tourism market and the city’s four million inhabitants with a five star hotel, marine club, multiple restaurants, malls and multiplexes.

“This landmark signing underscores Crystal Lagoons global expansion and further highlights our expertise in creating man-made lagoons through the application of our revolutionary technology,” said Carlos Salas, Middle East regional director, Crystal Lagoons.
A total of 100,000 cubic metres (310,600 gallons) of water will be required to fill the lagoon, which will be fringed by a range of recreational areas and will be one of the biggest lagoons in Asia once completed in Q2 2016.
Crystal Lagoons currently has a global portfolio of 300 projects located in 60 countries from South America to the Middle East, and holds two Guinness World Records’ titles with high profile locations in San Alfonso del Mar, Chile and Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, which is currently the world’s largest lagoon at 12.5 hectares.
The lagoons use up to 100 times less chemicals than traditional pool systems, and only two per cent of the energy required by conventional filtering technologies.
