......Major Development PLC’s ambitious new project, Reflection, at the nether reaches of Jomtien Beach Road is set to raise the benchmarks of the mega-condos in the city, with two super luxury, hi-rise residential buildings: Oceanfront Tower of 55 storeys and Oceanview Tower of 42 storeys, on a plot of eight rai.
With its unique, iconic architectural design, Reflection will be yet one more distinctive landmark to add to Pattaya’s rapidly growing high-end mega hi-rises to truly consolidate its position as Thailand’s premier resort destination.
Proximity to both Jomtien Beach Road and Sukhumvit Road allows occupants quick access to Bangkok and all of Pattaya and its tourist, entertainment and recreational attractions.
The project is due to start this quarter, with a planned completion date of Q2, 2012.
An executive VIP launch was held earlier this year with 50 per cent of the units already sold. The two buildings with 102 and 230 units, respectively, are designated ‘Super Luxury’, Oceanview being of five-star quality, while Oceanfront is asserted to be six-star.
Features
Certainly, the features are grandiose to provide what the developers describe as the “ultimate beachfront living experience”.
Both towers have exclusive rooftop swimming pools and sky gardens, the one on Oceanfront affording panoramic sea-views. All the units have floor-to-ceiling windows and those facing Jomtien Bay will also be provided with superlative vistas of the sea and sky for their individual occupants.
All units have private balconies, each duplex unit in Oceanview Tower also has private sky gardens and every penthouse unit comes with its own individual swimming pool and garden. In Oceanfront Tower, there is a ‘moon roof’ corner window for each unit.

Aquatic attractions

Swimmers have a wide choice catering for individuals, couples, families with oceanfront swimming pool with Jacuzzi whirlpool seats, family pool, 50-metre lap pool and wading pool. The feature which will really appeal, however, is the Aquatic Playground, superbly equipped with water cave, water tunnel and water slider, and the aquatic maze water wall; all ensuring day-long entertainment, especially for the kids.
Children’s facilities
Apart from Aquatic Playground and child-centric swimming facilities, the kids are also amply accommodated by having a kid’s playground, kid’s club and game area and sandpit.
Future developments
Major Development PLC has plans for an on-site five-star luxury low-rise hotel and residential complex behind the main development.
The developers seem to have spared no effort to provide a comprehensive, premier lifestyle experience, which is certain to prove appealing, especially to Bangkok residents keen to buy second homes and enjoy weekend retreats.
It will also have immense appeal to the foreign and retiree market, not least the Russians who favour one-stop facilities catering to the luxury end of the market. It should also appeal as an investment opportunity as it will undoubtedly bring both high capital appreciation and return on investment yields. Ω |
