In Dubai, a crystal lagoon of 130,026 square meters and 2.7 kilometres will be completed in 12 months. Azizi Developments has confirmed that their project for the Riviera neighbourhood in MBR City is progressing as planned.
Farhad Azizi, CEO of Azizi Developments, recently announced that their previously announced crystal lagoon might be delivered earlier than expected. Since we’d rather under-promise and over-deliver than the other way around, we’ve included buffers into our projected completion dates. We are excited to share that the revised anticipated delivery date for our crystal lagoon in Riviera is the first or second quarter of 2023.
In 2019–2020, Azizi updated their concept for the Riviera to include the crystal lagoon. (Tilal Al Ghaf by Majid Al Futtaim Communities and Hartland by Sobha both have similar bodies of water.)
Work is progressing on the two massive pump rooms, and excavation has started on the lagoon in front of the Phase One section at Riviera. More than 51.5 million gallons of desalinated water will be poured into the lagoon when construction is finished, making it a popular place for locals to go swimming. The area will be accessible by a “lagoon walk,” with a wide selection of locally owned restaurants and shops.
