A look at Pretoria’s new ‘beach’
Balwin Properties’ new development, The Blyde officially opened on 8 September 2018 in Pretoria, launching the first clear-water lagoon in sub-Saharan Africa.
The Blyde is a R4.2 billion residential development in Pretoria East, which includes the 1.5 hectare – the equivalent to just over two rugby fields – lagoon, which will provide a beach setting for residents.
The project, the brainchild of Crystal Lagoons, was first announced in 2016.
The Blyde also features a state of the art lifestyle centre which includes a restaurant, gym, spa, concierge, laundromat, multi-purpose sports fields as well as two swimming pools within the lagoon.
Regional director at Crystal Lagoons, Alastair Sinclair said that the lagoon has far less impact in terms of water usage than that of a park or golf course.
