New Nordic Trend 6

New Nordic Trend 6 is a small low-rise condominium on Pratumnak Hill in Pattaya, one of the cluster of buildings that New Nordic Group has put up in this neighbourhood. Portals describe it as a single 7-storey building with 75 apartments, completed in 2016. New Nordic Trend 6 condominium in Pratumnak, Pattaya is a compact, resort-style address whose main draw is the location: a quiet hillside lane with several beaches within reach and the city centre a few minutes away.

Location

The building sits in the lanes between Pratumnak Soi 4 and Soi 5, among other New Nordic properties. The shore is about 700 m away in a straight line, and the usual swimming spots, Cosy Beach and Yin Yom Beach, are roughly 900 m away. The Big Buddha temple is about 600 m from the door, Pattaya Park Tower about 800 m, and Bali Hai Pier, where the ferries leave for Koh Larn, about 1.6 km. Walking Street and central Pattaya are a few minutes' drive. Cafés, small restaurants, minimarts and massage shops fill the surrounding lanes, and the hill itself is green and much quieter than the centre.

Facilities

• communal swimming pool
• fitness area
• garden and seating areas
• lift
• parking
• 24-hour security and CCTV

The facilities are modest, in keeping with the size of the building: this is a place to stay close to the beaches rather than a large resort complex.

Apartments

The apartments are compact. Listings show studios of about 26 to 34 sq m and two-bedroom units of about 48 sq m; More Property's catalogue lists apartments here at around 50 sq m. Interiors follow the light, Scandinavian-inspired style typical of the developer, and resale units usually come furnished. As the building has only 7 floors, the outlook is over the neighbouring streets and the greenery of the hill, with wider city views from the upper levels.

Who it suits

New Nordic Trend 6 suits buyers looking for a holiday apartment or a seasonal base in Pratumnak, and owners who intend to let: the resort-style concept and the location keep this type of apartment marketable to holidaymakers and long-stay guests. Like other New Nordic buildings, it is oriented more towards holiday stays than towards permanent family living, so it is sensible to ask how the building is managed and what the house rules on rentals are. The developer has several similarly named buildings nearby, including New Nordic Trend 3, New Nordic Trend 5 and New Nordic Atrium, so check the exact name in a listing. As in any Thai condominium, up to 49% of the total unit area can be registered in foreign freehold ownership (the foreign quota); the rest is held under the Thai quota or through a company.
