......If it isn’t broken, don’t fix it, is a much-used term nowadays that seems very apt for the Iguana Group’s Hyde Park Residence projects. So successful was the first one that they have decided to build Hyde Park Residence II (HPR II) right next door.
Location, of course, often plays a key role in any popular development and this is especially true of HPR II. The Pratamnak Hill area is now much sought-after thanks in no small part to its proximity to Pattaya’s Walking Street and Jomtien’s many amenities.
Yes, it’s just minutes away from these hot spots plus several fine beaches, but the Pratamnak area still manages to retain an air of quietness.
Kate Olgeirsson, of Global Pacific, the agents who recently signed a special deal with Iguana, said: “It is close to everything and yet far enough away that, when you want some peace and quiet, it is available in abundance on your doorstep.”
The showrooms depicted on these pages are, perhaps not surprisingly, to be found in the HPR I building. They provided a “real life” example for what you can expect in version II right down to the rooftop swimming pool which gives great views over Pattaya Bay and out to the islands.
Apartments are one or two bedrooms and range in size from 72 sqm to 148.4 sqm. Prices – via Global Pacific – start at Bt 2.79m.
“This is a very good price given where the apartments are situated,” said Kate. “We can offer and excellent payment structure to suit everyone and the projected return on investment is 176 per cent over a four-year period.”
Kate added: “Because one of the Princesses has a house in Pratamnak there is always a good police presence there.”
She said that the building’s management company will continuously monitor all mechanical and electrical equipment within it. “This will have the effect of greatly increasing the efficiency of the building, saving manpower and avoiding unnecessary loss of resources,” she said.
Those investors who show early interest can benefit from a two-year rental guarantee of eight per cent or Kate and her team are happy to discuss a discount on price for those simply seeking a place to call home. Ω
