Tops in Kata

Ask any property agent, and they will tell you that some projects are a hard sell. Not so for Kata Ocean View Condominiums. Though only 10 percent complete, the development from Oceanic Global Estate (Oceanic Management Group) has generated a large amount of interest locally and internationally. Following the record success of phases 1 and 2, the third phase of luxury apartments is attracting buyers due to the excellent value and the developer’s reputation for creative designs and originality.

So, what’s the appeal? Part of the reason is the impressive setting. Situated on the tranquil hillside of Kata Mountain, the apartments are at an altitude that captures panoramic views of the Andaman Sea. It’s these spectacular views, as well as a peaceful ambiance, the natural surrounding beauty and a good price, that drive the success of this stylish project. Even more, Kata Beach is as close as a quick walk downhill.

Oceanic Global Estate Co., Ltd., has over 30 years experience and is recognized locally and internationally as a leader in the development of private residential properties. The company’s most recent projects, Kata Ocean View Residence and Kata Ocean View Condominium phase 1, sold out in record time. This latest project involves 21 sea view apartments with a private pool. The expected completion date is February 2010. Apartments are available with a choice of foreign freehold or leasehold.

With phase 4 and 5 to take shape over the next two years, the entire Oceanic View project is expected to be completed by February 2011 with a total of 82 units. Oceanic Management Group are offering owners an anticipated yearly 6 to 8 percent return on their investment through a rental program. Property management service is provided for those wanting to generate a regular income from their unit throughout the year.

Finished to the highest specifications, the apartments range in size from 72sqm to 115sqm. Focusing on comfort and contemporary design, they encompass a d?cor with clean white fixtures and fittings. The use of imported wooden laminate or tiled flooring and a neutral color scheme throughout creates a modern, spacious and pleasing environment. The open plan living area consists of a lounge, dining area and western kitchen equipped with modern appliances. Buyers have an opportunity to customize the kitchen and bathroom by choosing from a selection of wall and floor tiles, sinks, taps, stoves and built-in units.

The development stands out from others by its original design, drawing on inspiration from the ocean in its application of defined lines and round geometric shapes symbolizing the waves. Floor to ceiling glass patio doors bring the magnificent views inside and lead onto spacious terraces. Facilities include parking and private pools with all common areas maintained by a team of gardeners, cleaners and 24-hour security.

Kata, on the southwestern coast of Phuket, is one of the most idyllic beaches on the island. With a small village atmosphere, is has dozens of great restaurants and shops. Kata is ideal for relaxing with a cocktail in the evening, spending some baht at an exclusive boutique or haggling over the price of a local product. It’s a favorite with families and couples due to its lively atmosphere and proximity to the beach. There are plenty of things to do for both adults and children, including water sports, elephant trekking, mini-golf and trendy pavement cafes.

Owing to government restrictions, there is a limit to the number of condominium developments that can be built in the Kata area, and Kata Ocean View Condominiums is possibly the last that will be constructed in the locality. There is a high demand for condominiums in Phuket. With prices starting at 4.9 million baht for a sea view, freehold or leasehold, expectations are that the remaining properties will sell very quickly.
