Crystal Lagoons to create Idyllic
beach lifestyle with a wide variety of water sports, such as swimming,
kayaking, paddle boarding at new Egypt projects
Crystal Lagoons,
the multinational innovation
company and developer of the world’s top amenity patented technology that
makes giant crystal-clear lagoons a reality, has announced two new
project wins in Egypt, bringing its total portfolio of active and under
development projects in the Middle East and India to 15.
Showcasing a range of projects at this year’s Cityscape Global real estate showcase, which will take place
at Dubai International Convention & Exhibition Centre from 6-8 September
2016, the company will
highlight its latest project in Egypt located within
the US$400 million phase two of the 210-hectare Stella Di Mare project in the
increasingly popular western Red Sea coastal resort of Ain Sokhna.
A flagship
development for Cairo-headquartered REMCO Group, the second phase of this
upscale community is designed around a clutch of private islands surrounded by
crystalline lagoons and connected by bridges.
“Once completed, the 38-hectare lagoon will be the largest in North
Africa and will also encircle the entire development, thus creating a truly
unique residential and leisure environment and further underscoring our ability
to bring waterfront living to anywhere in the world, even the desert,” said Carlos
Salas, Middle East Regional Director, Crystal Lagoons.
The company has also partnered with Misr Italia Group, one of Egypt’s
most prominent real estate developers, to deliver two lagoons with a total size
of 2.7-hectares within its US$1 billion second home Mousa Coast community
located on the Red Sea, just 90 minutes from Cairo.
“Misr Italia’s reputation for developing highly attractive communities
with a broad range of leisure amenities, brought us together; and now the two
lagoons will be the focal point of this exciting new Red Sea development,” said

“With 2,500 units delivered and plans for 16,000 chalets and five luxury
hotels, Mousa Coast is positioning itself as a secure, attractive and versatile
location, and Crystal Lagoons’ expertise will add further value and a major USP
for prospective investors,” he added.
Crystal Lagoons’ technology can use any type of water. When using fresh
water up to 30 time less water is used. Crystal Lagoons can also use salt and
brackish water, the latter has no alternative use and it can be obtained from
underground aquifers, creating a crystal-clear oasis in the middle of the
desert.
“Both of these projects
will enjoy an idyllic beach lifestyle enabling residents to practice a wide
variety of water sports - such as swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding and to
enjoy luxurious resort facilities like chalets and standalone villa homes with their
own private stretch of beach accessible by boat as well as car,” added Salas.
Crystal
Lagoons’ sustainable technology and proven green credentials
provide a low cost, low maintenance leisure amenity solution with its ultrasonic
filtration system using just 2% of the energy required by conventional
filtration systems, positively impacting running costs and dramatically
reducing consumption.
The company will be
exhibiting at Cityscape Global in Hall 3 on stand 3A05.
