La Royale Beach Condominium - One of the best

Although this article was first published on February 19, 2006 I think it is still a very relevent article about La Royale Beach and also other condo projects in Pattaya.

La Royale Beach Condominium will be the first new high rise residentialProject to open this year in Pattaya, said Wise Asset Group chairman Eric Laias the company celebrated its topping out ceremony on Monday.
By capping off the topmost floor at the 10-rai beachfront estate, valued atmore than Bt2 billion, we will now begin fitting the units, said Mr Lai, a veteran developer.
Bank Thai chairman Tawee Butsuntorn, who presided over the ceremony, said he had been observing the project closely form the start.He endorsed it as possessing quality designs and professionalmanagement. Mr Tawee was also former director at Siam Cement Group and former chairman of the Federation of Thai Industries.“From the strong foundations to the topmost floor, this is truly a first class job,” he said. “I can find no comparable project in Pattaya today that can match La Royale’s location, design and price.”
As the project is located at a secluded plot at the far end of Jomtien Beach, it is protected from noise and crowds. “Yet it is convenient as it is not too far away from the shops along Jomtien and the spot is easily accessible by road,” he said.
Mr Tawee was also pleased that Lai, who is an architect by training, has upgraded the project to be equal to a five-star hotel standard.
Mr Lai was a top director running Hong Kong & Shanghai Hotel’s property division. The group operates the global Peninsula chain and Lai’s work for them include the designing of the Kowloon Hotel, Peak Tower and Repulse bay apartments.
Mr Lai said his buildings carry his trademarks as they are distinct in appearance, practical to use and over time, create value for investors.”
Wise Asset’s managing director Sombat Chancharoensin said La Royale “will be the first of the many mega project to open later this year after nearly a decade.”
Project such as Northpoint, The Sails, Portofino and Ocean 1 are scheduled to be completed in two to three years or more, said Mr Sombat.
Last year, Raimon Land fitted out an old building and renamed it Northshore on Beach Road Soi 5 but La Royale, is the first to be built from scratch, he added.
La Royale has 150 luxury units with prices for furnished freehold apartments starting from about Bt7 million.
The development is constructed by K-Tech Construction and is financially supported by TMB Bank.
The property comprises 149 units of 2-3 bedroom apartments, 3 units of penthouses, 32 units of garden exclusive suites, and 6 villas.
All condominium units have clear views of sea while offering residents total privacy. Sales of La Royale Beach Condominium have reached 70 per cent. La Royale is the first of Wise Asset’s endeavours in Pattaya and the firm is working on more projects that will be announce later in the year, Mr Lai said.http://www.nationmultimedia.com/property/newsarticles.php
