The first two buildings (A and B) are close to completion. Transferring of ownerships will take place in October and December 2009.  Construction took 1.5 years for each building, as promised at the beginning – good thing for developers.

Developer is Kiyana Co., Ltd – has built few projects in Pattaya (serviced apartment on South Pattaya Rd  and entertaining institution on Walking Street).  Due to experience in hotel business the developer planning to organise hotel management in Diamond Suited Pattaya Condominium –I think this is a very good idea. The distance to the nearest beach about 1000 meters (Phratamnak cozy beach on a hill), but the location of a condominium is very convenient for public transport, you can get to Jomtien beach in 10 minutes. Take the bus-baht (local transportation) for the other direction and you reach the central Pattaya for the same time.

The developer is poorly known company City View Rescidence Co., Ltd

The begining of construction was planned on the 1st quater 2009, they did not start yet.

The design of the project is absolutely the same as another View Talays, maybe with one exception – View Talay 6 have underground parking.

The location is very convenient for somebody who like to be in the center of it all – main road with public transportation is 30 meter far from condominium, as well as central Pattaya beach.  Hundreds of eaters places and variety of entertainment facilities are also near by.

Huge shopping mall “Central Festival” is also close to the building .  From the one hand presence of new plaza is advantage for  co-owners: top-class restaurants with international cuisines and dozens of shops are 5 min far from apartment. From another side: the north part of the building is very close to the plaza and so well to the noisy construction of Hilton Hotel above the plaza. Taking into consideration that the first six floors set aside for the shopping center parking lot, owners on same level  are having now  “parking view”, dust and smoke (distance between two buildings not more than 7 meters).

I know one owner, who bought unit on 4th floor View Talay 6 (north side)  1,5 years ago for the price about 90,000 USD. Now he trying to sell it – the rare offer is  10,000 USD – terrible fact.

The South side of the building is lovely – nice view all around Pattaya till the Phratamnak hill.

Units range:  all units goes from developer as studios (without internal walls) and empty shell with area from 48 to 105 sqm.  Owners, who bought two or more units together, are able to combine it into one large apartment.

Prices for sale start from 2,7 mln Thai baht for 48 sqm studio (if you do not take into account units with “parking view”).   Price for rent a studio is about 20,000 Thai baht per month.

The cheapest unit can be purchased at a present time (june 2009) cost 12,6 mln Thai baht for 92 sqm one bedroom apartment on 2nd floor. The most expensive condo cost 130 mln Thai baht for duplex penthouse, with total area 565 sqm.

The sales was good in 2008 – all small units were sold out quickly. Quota for foreigners still available.

The project is located on Soi 5 Pattaya Beach Rd., 50 meters from central pattaya beach. The beach itself is not be right for swimming, but the location is very convenient – transportation, minimarts, hospitals and shopping malls  (like new huge Central Festival with super market, numbers of restaurants and pleasant selection of shops) are close.

The building was built over old foundation, before Northshore condominium on that site was other construction.

This condominium was build on top quality materials, so it should look like new 10 and more years later, well..will see.

Prices for sale  one bedroom apartment are around 7,5 mln Thai Baht,  for rent – about 35,000 baht per month (only long term).

Condominium is about 30 years old.

The first two Siam Penthouse condos were built in Bangkok and they are the first condominiums in Thailand.

I was not inside the rooms, but ground floor looks totally ok, lounge area is fresh and clean, garden is well-groomed, swimming pool and other facilities are operating well.

The building has outstanding design (for 30 years old) with “steps floors” and majority of units have sea view, the best view is to the North. Views to the South can be closing by neighbor “Silver Beach Condominium” building.
