BEACH LIFE COMES TO PRETORIA
Crystal Lagoons, in partnership with Balwin Properties,
has created the ultimate lifestyle development at The Blyde,
complete with a beach setting featuring white sands and
crystal clear blue water. The development gives its residents
the ultimate lifestyle option of living near or next to the world’s
top amenity – an idyllic clear water lagoon.
Balwin Properties CEO, Steve Brookes, says: “Having The
Blyde developed around a lagoon offers so much more to
people who are looking for somewhere safe and a place where
their children can be children – it has massive appeal to a wide
range of people because there is nowhere else in Pretoria
that is close to a large body of water which they can enjoy.”
This crystalline lagoon, powered by Crystal Lagoons®, is
the first to be developed in sub-Saharan Africa and is expected
to raise the bar on new residential developments as a lagoon
offers so much more value and appeal for residents and
property investors.
Water Usage
Regional Director at Crystal Lagoons, Alastair Sinclair says,
“A big positive for projects in South Africa is that the water
usage of a crystalline lagoon powered by Crystal Lagoons
technology has far less impact than that of a park or golf
course. Crystal Lagoons’ technology addresses the concerns
around the use of water and the energy needed to maintain
conventional swimming pools. Also, any type of water can
be used – ground water, salt water and even brackish water
are all suitable to fill a beach-like Lagoon.” A typical Lagoon
uses 30 times less water than a standard golf course. The
filtration system consumes only 2% of the energy required
by conventional filtration systems.
Sinclair concludes: “We are delighted with the inauguration
of this crystalline lagoon at the Blyde in Pretoria, as it will
not only provide tremendous value to our partners, Balwin
Properties, and the residents of this development, but it also
means that our company’s technology is now present on all
five continents.”
