Sky Residence... What's the deal there?

[1happykamper]

My search for a condo with a view of Pattaya bay continues. 

 

I like a condo that was Amari.. then called Legends.. now it's Sky Residence. Interesting. 

 

It was too quiet there.. Maybe low occupancy? Used to have a hotel lobby... That's closed. along with a deli in the building. 

 

Should I stay clear of this building? 

 

Cheers and thank you.

Didn't you like the answers in your other condo search thread for Pratumnak, isn't that where Sky Residence is?

How about the condos already recommended? or do you want the same answers again?

Your comment makes zero sense... I'm asking, in my followup post, why the condo building in question has changed names 3 times and appears to be.. Underfunded...

      The project you mentioned originally had the Legend name, I believe before construction was started.  At some point the name was changed to Amari and the project was reconfigured to have a hotel component on the lower floors and condos on the upper floors.  Both components would share the pool and gym, if I remember correctly.  My partner and I toured the project when it first opened and it seemed nice, although we thought the pool was too small for the number of units.

      The hotel may not have done that well, with covid making things worse, and I believe they are now selling the hotel rooms as condos, with the third name to reflect the change.  We haven't been back so I have no idea of how the project is being managed.  It may have seemed quiet--a good thing in my book as long as things are being maintained--due to the hotel being closed and those units perhaps not sold in numbers yet.

     For views of Pattaya Bay from that part of town, I think your 3 best bets in your price range would be Sky Residence, The Cliff, or Unixx.  If Sky seemed to quiet, I don't think Unixx or The Cliff would be.  The best views of Pattaya Bay from The Cliff would be the 2 bedroom/2 bath corner units that look towards the bay.   I see a few listed on Hipflat for around 30,000 baht--your upper limit.

     Unixx has 53 sqm 2 bedroom/2 bath units looking north to Pattaya Bay for around 20-25,000 a month.  The nice thing about these units is every window faces north--good view and no hot sun.  You might be able to get into a larger 62 sqm 2 bedroom corner unit that faces west and north for 30,000 baht or less.   There also may be some 35 sqm 1 bedrooms that face north to the bay.  You can get some idea of views from different units using Hipflat.

    Unixx has 2 pools and a gym.   There's a shuttle bus that runs during the day to Central Festival and maybe some other stops.  Here's the north view from one of the bedrooms of the corner unit my partner and I owned at Unixx.  Good luck with your search.

Finally someone read and comprehended my question. 

 

Thanks so much for taking the time to reply in such detail. 

 

Unixx is sounding good... Thanks again.

Be careful with condos facing the admirals monument, you will hear firecrackers all the day.
