First Crystal Lagoons® to Feature Beach Life and Winter Sports

On September 14th, Millcraft announced its partnership in growing the nationwide and global portfolio for Crystal Lagoons® by expanding into the U.S. Northeast with a milestone lagoon amenity. The lagoon will be a part of Millcraft’s 15-acre, mixed-use Esplanade development in Pittsburgh’s North Side neighborhood along the Ohio River. Esplanade’s man-made lagoon marks the first urban lagoon in the world with the capability to convert from a paradise-like, turquoise body of water into a frozen skating rink during the winter months. The Crystal Lagoons amenity will offer additional four-season functionality with thermal baths year-round as part of the recreational, health and wellness components of the project. In addition to a Ferris Wheel announced earlier this year, the crystalline lagoon is the second of several world-class amenities planned at Esplanade.
