Tellus Group, developers of the award-winning residential community Windsong Ranch in Prosper, TX, today announced plans for the construction of a five-acre crystalline lagoon using Crystal Lagoons® technology, which will create a beach-style lifestyle in the award-winning residential community.

The man-made, environmentally friendly freshwater lagoon with white sand beaches is the first of its kind in a primary residential community in North Dallas.

The caribbean-like lagoon will be the centerpiece of the 2,030-acre residential development located just west of the Dallas North Tollway along the quickly expanding Highway 380 corridor. Construction of the lagoon is slated to begin this winter, with a projected completion date of Spring 2019.

Crystal Lagoons patented environmentally-friendly technology enables real estate developers to transform parcels of land into idyllic beach lifestyles anywhere in the world, at low construction and maintenance costs. The lagoons use 100 times fewer chemicals than traditional swimming pools and consume only 2% of the energy required by traditional pool filtration systems. The result is a dramatic, clean, clear body of fresh water that offers tremendous recreational appeal for the whole family, particularly when compared to more traditional amenities such as golf courses.

“Our new crystalline lagoon will elevate the standards for lifestyle amenities inside primary home communities within the North Dallas marketplace,” said Craig Martin, founding partner of Tellus Group. “The addition of such a unique amenity further enhances our lifestyle offering at Windsong Ranch. Now residents will be able to enjoy a fantastic beach-type lifestyle and multiple popular watersports including stand-up paddle boarding, wind-surfing, sailing, diving, kayaking and swimming every day instead of just while away on a vacation. We believe the  lagoon and its tremendous social appeal will create additional interest from homebuyers and bring significant value to our residents.”
