Apparantly Villa Market are opening up a new full size store in Laguna early next year .

Good news for us "up north"

Heard the same rumour - it's supposed to be located betwen Cherng Talay and Laguna - plenty of potential clientelle in the area.

Thats it then Tesco Thalang, Super Cheap at Two Sisters and now Villa at Cherng Talay, no more bypass

The new shopping complex next door to the banana club on beach road Patong is getting one as well.

Confirmed today.

It's good to see that more business is coming to the north.

The Laguna area itself is quite interesting. There is own bus system, streets are well kept and in general it looks more like Singapore than Phuket.

Can anyone confirm that there will be a basement car park (as per Jung Ceylon)? I assume there would have to be - otherwise the project would be pointless.

My first thought, too!

I can see the Mrs. now. 1.5 meters tall, 39 kilo pushing a fully loaded trolley down the sidewalk dodging touts, drunks and the occasional slow Loris.

I’m sure any of the tuk-tuks would be happy to move, while you unload your 2 trolleys of Farang food into your car.

I doubt it, been watching them build an saw no diging. SO forget shopping there as the rentals an tuk tuks take up all of beach road,

maybe when the switch to go the "Other" way they will not allow them to park there but i wont hold my breathe

It's not in Laguna. It's directly outside the entrance to Laguna, in a new complex called Boat Road. It appears that the construction has already started.

Very poor choice of location from the owners of Villa (assuming it really will have a Villa Market). Clearly they have conducted little research. Their target market (long stay foreigners) will not be attracted to shop in that Patong beach road location.

Im not sure about the parking but its confirmed by the sole agent thats taking care of the site that villa supermarket is going in.

Wine connection as well.

Slighty off topic, Would you believe that a 210 sqm space on the 2nd floor is commanding 760k rent per month in that complex? I nearly fell over.

I didnt ask but they are very selective of the tenants who they want to lease to.

Ridiculously expensive, especially for a second floor space.

Even more, because it seems to be the 3 floor: groundfloor/1.floor/2.floor (out of your attached picture)

And the winner is: The landlord. Building paid in two seasons. With 100% profit

Maybe the building paid for .... but what is the land worth/cost ....

Estimates are 1.1 million baht per square wah on Bangla Rd. That's 440 million baht a rai. Beach road would be close to that and that site is huge. Easily 8-10 rai.

I'm guessing 2 billion baht for that banana walk land.

100 spots for parking is about 20% of the minimum number of spaces needed. I sure hope there is a lot of walk in customers for these establishements as I don't see any expats with cars fighting the traffic to eat or shop there.

WOW ... that much. Sounds way too much, but hey what do I know. Now I want to know what land is worth on Soi Nanai .... waiting for replies...

Don't worry - the car park will be full of jeeps-for-rent, tuk-tuks and taxis.
