Whale Marina Update

There has been a great deal of progress on the Whale Marina condo project in Na Jomtien.

The piling for building A was finished on April 11^th. Just in time to give everyone a break for Songkran.

The progress on Whale Marina will be even faster as the developer has finished construction on Natureza Art and Private Paradise. A workers village is being constructed at the site and things should be moving along quite quickly.

A powerful, new generator was installed at the site to supply electricity to the worker's village and to the construction site for power tools and the electric crane. The foundation piles for the crane are in the ground at this time.

The sea wall construction around the perimeter of the site continues and is now 90% completed.

The foundation part of construction usually is the slowest and most time consuming part of the project.

Overall, the construction progress is going as planned and now that the electricity is connected to the site, work is going to pick up speed.

Whale Marina sales have been brisk and here is a breakdown of the percentage sold in each building.

Building A - 103 out of 147 units sold - 70%

Building B - 52 out of 126 units sold - 41%

Building C - 0 out of 92 units sold - NOT OPEN FOR SALE YET

There are still plenty of great units available and many have sea and pool views.

In case you are not familiar with the project Whale Marina is a new condo project in Na Jomtien. The project was launched in 2015 amid much fanfare and progress has continued at a steady pace. Whale Marina has already garnered EIA approval and the project has been authorised by the Thai Marina Department.

Whale Marina will be a resort style condo development consisting of 3, 8-storey buildings with a total of 364 units. There are 27 unit styles to choose from. The vast majority of the units will have sea views.

The first floor of the buildings will offer parking and the Whale Marina facilities including the private boat marina. Other facilities at Whale Marina will include a water sport club, fitness center, 3 communal pools, a restaurant and coffee shop, security a rooftop garden and more.

The Water Sports Club at Whale Marina is designed to offer a choice of water sport activities to its residents by trained and certified professionals. Residents who enjoy water sports, will be able to go deep-sea fishing, diving, jet skiing, water skiing and a myriad of other activities. Trips to nearby islands will also be offered from the private marina.

Whale Marina will share the canal in the Tonhaad Lagoon with other marine themed residences such as View Talay Marina and the Jomtien Yacht Club.

To accommodate the larger boats expected at the Whale Marina the Pattaya City Municipality and the Thai Marine Department have been dredging in the lagoon.

The developers of Whale Marina chose its location based on several factors including the position it will command on the canal, the project’s proximity to the beach, accessibility of Sukhumvit and other main traffic arteries, restaurants, shopping and entertainment were all very important considerations.

The project is also close to many of the tourist attractions in the Pattaya and Jomtien area such as Nong Nooch Gardens, Cartoon Network Water Park, the Pattaya Floating Market, Underwater World Pattaya and the Phoenix Gold Golf Club.

Whale Marina is in close proximity to many fine restaurants such as The Glass House and the Bacco Beach Italian Restaurant, which are only a few hundred meters from the development, in addition to many other smaller, casual restaurants in the area.

There are a total of 27 different floor plans available in Whale Marina. The developer is confident that offering many different plans will help the units retain their value and will not compete with a large number of same type units in the same building. This is an exciting change from the usual three floor plans for 800 units in some of the more recent projects in the area.

The developer also prides itself on the quality of construction and interior finish of their previous projects and the Whale Marina will be no exception. Each unit will be beautifully crafted with high quality materials and finish.

Unit sizes will start at 29.13 square meters (Building B) and continue up with the largest units being offered in Building A. For a complete list of the available units, pricing and floor plans please contact one of the Coastal Real Estate sales staff.

All of the units in Whale Marina come fully furnished including electronics, wallpaper & curtains.

There is also an excellent payment plan available with the final payment on receipt of the Chanote, which is expected, in the second quarter of 2018. The time to act is now however as a lot of units have been sold already.

If you’re in Thailand looking to buy property, Pattaya is sure to be on your radar. It’s a very well-established coastal resort in the Gulf of Thailand, which means it has pretty much everything you could want in a second home and more besides. There's sun, sea, and sand aplenty and, crucially, a good supply of high-quality housing. But before you buy property in Pattaya, there are a few common pitfalls you need to be aware of.Understanding Legal Requirements and Ownership Laws in ThailandIt is, of course, possible for foreigners to buy property in Pattaya legally and live in it afterwards. However, there are rules and regulations governing foreign property ownership that you need to be familiar with before venturing into the local real estate market. Not all properties in Thailand can be directly owned by a citizen of another country, so it's important to do your research before transferring money into the country and making a serious offer on any property for sale in Pattaya, Thailand.Condos - As long as the foreign ownership quota (49% in each development) hasn't been exceeded, you can buy a condo in any development in Pattaya. Certain documentation requirements must be met, but with the right real estate agents helping you, once you're in the country, it's a relatively straightforward process to buy property. Pattaya is home to numerous property agents, but not many can boast our unique combination of local knowledge, real estate expertise, and passion for customer service. With us on your side, you can look forward to an enjoyable buying experience from start to finish.Land and Houses - At the time of writing, it’s not possible for foreign individuals to directly own land in Thailand. However, there are some legal workarounds that can be employed if you wish to buy a home with land in Pattaya or elsewhere in the country. For clients interested in Pattaya property for sale with land, there are several ownership options that can be explored. These include Thai company ownership, leasehold agreements, and marriage to a Thai national. For more information, please call or message us.If you research Thai real estate laws before you buy property, Pattaya is one of the best places in the world to acquire a retirement home or second residence. On the other hand, if you fail to do your homework, you could make a very expensive mistake. Team up with a reputable real estate agent to ensure that you’re not caught unawares.Choosing the Right Location and Property Type for Your InvestmentIf you can successfully negotiate the legal system when you buy property in Pattaya, you’re halfway to achieving your goal. However, there are other pitfalls waiting to catch you out if you take your eye off the ball, such as poor locations and the wrong property types. Before you start visiting Pattaya property agents and asking to see the best homes in the area, you must know what you’re looking for and where you would like to focus your search.Location - We always recommend visiting properties before making an offer. Even when buying off-plan, it’s crucial to visit the site before you buy property. Pattaya boasts many beautiful residential developments in fantastic locations, but there are a few lemons too. Visiting each site and familiarizing yourself with the area as a whole will help you avoid locations that are clearly not up to scratch.Property Type - The type of property you buy has legal implications, as discussed earlier. However, there are lifestyle implications that you also need to consider before embarking on a serious search for property to buy in Pattaya, Thailand. A condo by the beach may be the perfect investment for a solo traveler or couple, but for a large family, a luxury property with a garden could be a much better proposition. Take some time to think about what you really need.Avoiding Overpriced Deals and Ensuring Proper Due DiligenceHaving found the perfect property in the perfect location, you need to ensure you’re getting a good deal before making an offer. It’s always crucial to research the local real estate market thoroughly before you buy property. Pattaya boasts many condos and houses at good prices, but there are always overpriced properties on the market as well. By researching Pattaya property prices first, you can avoid making a bad investment.The easiest way to avoid common pitfalls when buying property here is to contact the best real estate property agents in Pattaya.
