The Glendale City Council approved a development agreement with ECL Glendale, LLC, to build “Crystal Lagoons, Island Resort.” The large entertainment development will be located on the southeast corner of Cardinals Way and the Loop 101, across the street from Westgate Entertainment District.
The main feature of the project will be an 11-acre Public Access Lagoon™ that will be up to 10-feet deep.
These monumental crystalline lagoons surrounded by white sand beaches, can be accessed via ticketed entry. Crystal Lagoons® is internationally recognized for their contributions to communities and for the added value they bring to cities and regions. “Crystal Lagoons®, the World’s Top Amenity ®, is excited to bring the first branded Crystal Lagoons®, Island Resort entertainment destination to Glendale, Arizona,” says Crystal Lagoons® Vice President, Eric Cherasia. “As you will see in our announcements over the next few months, we have teamed with some of the world’s top attraction, entertainment, and hospitality brands to create the next wave in entertainment destinations.”
“We’re excited for this project on many fronts, but two really stand out,” says Glendale City Manager Kevin Phelps. “Not only will this be a great example of experiential retail, which is the only area of growth in brick & mortar development over the past 10 years, but this project further cements Westgate as the largest Sports and Entertainment District in Arizona.”
