A significant change in the property market in Phuket, a trend which started late last year after a period of slowdown following the global crisis in 2008, the Phuket market is now enjoying a new wave of activity.
Going by the report of CBRE Thailand, a leading real estate consultant the new lease of life in Phuket’s property market was provided by Thai public listed developers such as Sansiri and Supalai entered the Phuket market in a significant manner with their projects focusing on the mass entry level market. It was an instant success with units being sold out within days from their launches. The success of the projects launched by these developers gave the much needed impetus to Phuket’s real estate market and other developers gained in confidence leading to the launch of their own developments.
Riding on the wave of this new-found success, Amari Estates have just a couple of months back began the pre-sales of its hotel-serviced residences located in one of Phuket’s most prime locations overlooking Patong Bay – the Amari Residences, Phuket. Backed by Italthai Plc, the development is fully managed and serviced by the existing Amari Phuket Resort, providing rental management and offering a 6 percent guaranteed yield for the first three years.
The is Amari Residences Phuket is a case in point for the current demand from buyers with its recently concluded 11-day CBRE Thailand Elite Living 2013 property showcase held at Siam Paragon recording a total sales of over THB 2.5 billion.
When complete at the end of 2014, Amari Residences Phuket will comprise of 148 one and two-bedroom residences and 12 three-bedroom pool villas situated above Patong Bay - Phuket’s most expensive location where land prices average THB 120 million per rai.
