Crystal Lagoons has partnered with JSE-listed Balwin Properties for the construction and operation of a R4.2 billion residential development‚ The Blyde at Riverwalk Estate‚ located in Pretoria East‚ Gauteng.
The lagoon will be on 1.5 hectares‚ which is equivalent to just over two rugby fields.
The company says it operates in over 60 countries.
“By bringing the beach to Pretoria we are taking apartment living to the next level by making resort lifestyle living a reality‚” said Steve Brookes‚ CEO of Balwin Properties‚ adding the development will also have a fully equipped gym‚ squash court‚ restaurant‚ concierge‚ laundromat‚ cinema room and a function room as well as state of the art security. “The continuous promenade around the lagoon is perfect for sunset strolls and it will connect the different amenities around the lagoon‚” Brookes said.
“A typical Crystal Lagoons uses 30 times less water than a standard golf course‚ and in many cases rainwater is all that is needed to replenish the water‚ thanks in part to the patented anti-evaporation film which restricts the amount of water lost via evaporation‚” the international company said.
The company says its technology innovations to allow the lagoon to be filled with fresh‚ brackish‚ or even salt water and uses 2% of the energy of standard pool filtration technologies‚ and 100 times less additives.
