KRS1 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Wonder why there is a particulate air meter placed there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CobraSnakeNecktie Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Wonder why there is a particulate air meter placed there. Was a few days ago.. Gone now. I am guessing its to show there is not blowing dust/dirt/pollutants to affect other properties in the area 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMNightRider Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 I heard it is going to be a 14 story condo and hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heybruce Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 So far they have just cleared it and trying to sell it or joint venture. Rumor is its approved for a large hotel In that case it could be empty for a long time. Development in Chiang Mai either moves very fast or at a glacial pace.

CobraSnakeNecktie Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 I heard it is going to be a 14 story condo and hotel. Who knows about how accurate gossip is. The security guy at HS4 told me 8 stories. The property also wraps around to the superhighway where that old mansion is now. Glad I only rent at HS4... If its 14 stories on the part next to HS4 then a lot of owners are going to be screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoloFlyer Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Will be interesting either way, 8 is supposed to be the limit in that neck of the woods(??), hence why they havent been able to sell(??)... Is also why its hard to seel anything on that side of H4 (??) ... oh, and the <deleted> with the spotlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LemanRus Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I heard it is going to be a 14 story condo and hotel. Isn't Furama Hotel backing onto that plot and its more than 8 floors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't Furama Hotel backing onto that plot and its more than 8 floors. as well as HS4 is 15 stories.. That was the old building limit. More recently 8 stories is supposed to be the limit. The tricky part is what gets approved these days. For example the new Maya Mall looks to be about 14 stories. But most new buildings in the area are just being built to 8. Could be some sort of special exemption is for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just heard the parcel is still for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenside Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 (edited) Face it, the developers almost always find a way to get what they want even in more sensitive areas adjacent to the moat - I mean, whoever gave them permission to build the Lanna Bowl just next to the corner across from the computer plaza? The updated and supposedly more stringent regulations simply mean more expensive "facilitation fees" and cleverer ways to get them to the right people. Maya's roof is 14 floors high if you are talking conventional room height and I'd bet that whatever they plonk in Think Park will also be higher than you'd expect. The price of land is so high that it's hard to think of a low rise development that could be economically viable at the moment. Retail and condo space is hardly in short supply even in that area so there's got to be a certain density to compete.

Yes, the Furama Hotel is at the back of that vacant lot and is physically connected to Hillside 4. Whatever is going to be built on the vacant lot will effect Furama as well as most of the Hillside units facing the mountain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clokwise Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Just a couple blocks down, across the 11 from Wat Chet Yot, the max building height is now 5 stories as of 1 April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CobraSnakeNecktie Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 This is from another thread http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/638871-vieng-ping-condo/page-2 Cheeryble says "A friend has actually been to the Land Office and seen the plans for the the "new condo" next to Hillside 4 as it threatened to halt a sale for him. It is not a "new condo" it is some sort of complex which will be no more than 15 metres high, and friend's sale went through after the buyer also went the the Land Office."

CMNightRider Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 About two weeks ago, I observed a well dressed Thai, that appeared to be over seeing the clearing of the vacant lot next to Hillside. The guy was fluent in English. I asked him what was going to be built on the vacant lot. He said, "it was going to be a 14 story hotel and condo." I have no idea if he knew what he was talking about but he certainly acted like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might be building something tall on that part of the property and something complimentary but much lower on the portion next to HS4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine that a 14 story building blocking the view of Doi Suthep would make those HS4 condos pretty much worthless and unsellable? Who would want a view of a concrete building when you look out the window? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we should know very soon what is going to be built there for sure. Would be interesting to see the plans as mentioned by Cheerble and see what is approved. I look down on the site and and have seen the same trucks and crew that cleared the site next to HS4 are also working on the parcel that fronts the superhighway. Those parcels are physically connected and would seem to be part of larger project. Does anyone know the details on how/where to visit to see the plans on record at the govt?
