The Winner Pattaya

The Winner Pattaya, officially The Winner Condominium, is a low-rise residential building on the southern slope of Pratumnak Hill, next to Pattaya Park. It was built by Navy House Group, a Sattahip-based company better known for its housing estates, and was the firm's first condominium. The project was announced in autumn 2012 and completed in 2014. A single 7-storey building holds 107 apartments. The Winner Pattaya condominium in Pratumnak, Pattaya is a good example of the boutique format: few neighbours, yet an established residential quarter with a market and cafés on the doorstep.

Location

The building stands on a corner of Soi Pratumnak 6, right beside the Pattaya Park Night Plaza market. Pattaya Park Tower and its water park are about 450 m away, and the Big Buddha at the top of the hill is roughly 650 m in a straight line. The nearest beach is the northern end of Dongtan Beach, about 700 m away as the crow flies. Some adverts quote shorter distances, but this is not a beachfront building and the sea is a walk through the neighbourhood. Thappraya Road, where songthaews run between South Pattaya and Jomtien, is around 500 m away; Walking Street and the city centre are about 10 minutes by car.

Apartments

Most layouts are one-bedroom units ranging from 35.5 to 62.5 sq m. More Property currently lists a 49 sq m apartment here. Units were handed over fitted, with a built-in kitchen: stone worktop, induction hob, extractor hood and fridge; the larger ones have space and connections for a washing machine. Because the building is low, most windows look onto the city and the greenery of the hill, and the best viewpoint is the rooftop pool deck.

Who it suits

The Winner appeals to buyers who want a compact apartment on Pratumnak and do not need to be on the beachfront: singles and couples living here full-time, winter residents, and owners planning long-term lets. Its strengths are the small scale, a market and beach within walking distance, and quick access to both the centre and Jomtien. Bear in mind that the area around the market gets lively in the evenings. As in any Thai condominium, up to 49% of the total unit area can be registered in foreign ownership (the foreign quota); the rest falls under the Thai quota or is held through a company.
