Location

 

Pattaya is a seaside and special administrative region of Chon Buri Province. It is a vital tourist attraction of the nation which contributes great income to Thailand’s economy. Pattaya can be mainly divided into 6 beach zones including Nakluea, Wong Amart, Pattaya, Pratumnak, Jomtien and Na Jomtien. The two zones which are most popular for real estate developments are, however, the Wong Amart and Pattaya. To demonstrate, Wong Amart zone (North Pattaya) has a serene atmosphere and sense of private beach; likewise, a lot of residential project and 4-5 star hotels are located in this area. On the other hand, Pattaya (Central and South Pattaya) has more aspects of lifestyle places and night-life vibrancy; therefore, this led the zone to be more populated, especially with a great number of foreigners.

The nation’s slightly rebounded economy and AEC (ASEAN Economic Community) have put Pattaya in a good position to thrive further as a great tourist destination. The policy of free-flow investment from neighboring countries is also a tool to pour a lot of investment capital into this seaside town. Meanwhile, land prices in the two popular zones mentioned earlier will be higher each year, contrast to the growing demand from developers. Another solid sign that Pattaya is going to be more flourishing is the introduction of 4 transportation mega projects from the government that will be stated below.

 

U-Tapao International Airport

 

The airport had completed the new terminal building in May 2016, the project’s value is over 300 million baht. The new terminal building will enable the airport to accommodate up to 3-5 million visitors per year. In addition, around 800,000 people are expected to land at this airport this year, the number that can generate up to 120 million baht revenue to the airport. The direct flights from foreign countries include Singapore, Macau, Kuala Lumpur, Nanchang, Nanning, and China. In consequence, the greater visitors coming to Pattaya, the more residential demands are there.

 

Downtown Tram

Pattaya has proposed a tram system with the aim to reduce traffic congestion in the city. If the government has approved and fund this project fully, the tram will be running an 8-kilometre route around Pattaya and along the beachs. If the government budget is limited, this tram project can appear to be only a 2-kilometre long, runing from North to South Pattaya instead. However, it is a good indication that Pattaya city is still developing.

 

Pattaya – Map Ta Phut Motorway

Pattaya – Map Ta Phut Motorway is one of the three motorway projects that will connect metropolitans from Bangkok to Pattaya City. The motorway runs a 32-kilometre route and the project’s value is around 20,200 million baht. It is expected to be fully completed in the next few years.

Ferry Project 

Source: Bangkokpost

The ferry service between Hua Hin and Pattaya is expected to start delivering passengers at the beginning of 2017. The project will save the travel cost and time, as well as bring more tourists to Pattaya City.

Analysis

City Garden Tower‘s prospective customers are both holiday-home buyers and investors, suitable for both locals and foreigners. The project provides rental service management for residents and holds a competitive advantage in low number of competitors in the surroundings. Most high-rise projects are located next to the beach and have much higher starting prices. Meanwhile, City Garden Tower has more attractive price and in spite of not being a beachfront condominium, the project is only 1 kilometre from the beach and units on the 10th floor are already enjoying the beautiful sea view.

Summary

City Garden Tower is a luxury high-rise condominium situated at the heart of Pattaya, where all important destinations are within the proximity. The developer, with strong global reputation and experiences of having 8 condominium projects in Pattaya before, delivers a cutting-edge security system and quality of the project in both the architecture and residential units. The project’s outstanding point lies in the attractive starting price which suits both residence-buyer and investors; however, the prominent selling point here is the location, which is the central point where you can reach the beach, Walking Street, department stores, hospitals, school, and all the necessary destinations. The fact of having low number of competitors in the surroundings, also complements this project to be outstanding.
