Zire Wongamat

Zire Wongamat condominium in Wong Amat, Pattaya is a beachfront high-rise complex on Wong Amat Beach in the north of the city. It was built by the listed developer Raimon Land as its third Pattaya project after Northshore and Northpoint. The complex has two towers: the 54-storey Tower A, which faces the sea, and the 37-storey Tower B, with the taller one reaching 188 m. Sales were launched in January 2011, the structure was topped off in November 2013 and the buildings were completed in 2014. According to the developer, the two towers contain 480 units. The architecture is by SODA, and Pre-Built was the main contractor. Condos for sale in Zire Wongamat are now offered on the resale market.

Location

The complex stands at the end of Soi Naklua 18, next to Soi Saranchol, and its plot opens directly onto the sand: project descriptions put Wong Amat Beach about 50 m away, and the developer landscaped its own stretch of beach frontage. The neighbours are the Northpoint condominium and the Pullman Pattaya Hotel G and Centara Grand Mirage hotels. Wong Amat is regarded as a quiet part of Pattaya, a residential area with a beach and no busy promenade. Terminal 21 Pattaya is about 2.2 km away by road and the Sanctuary of Truth about 2.5 km, while Naklua Road with its shops and songthaews is a few minutes' drive away.

Apartments

Zire Wongamat offers studios, one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments and duplexes. Sizes range from 38 sq m for studios to 185 sq m for the largest residences, with typical one-bedroom units at 49–76 sq m. The More Property catalogue currently lists units from 39 to 104 sq m. Both towers are oriented towards the Gulf of Thailand, the apartments have balconies, and the upper floors look out over the sea and the coastline. It is worth checking the tower, floor and aspect of each unit, as they determine how open the view of the bay is.

Who it suits

Zire Wongamat is for buyers who want a home right by the sea with a full set of amenities, whether for permanent living, family holidays or letting. Studios and one-bedroom apartments are mostly seen as resort homes and rental properties, while large apartments on high floors serve as main residences with a panorama of the bay. Bear in mind that Wong Amat is a quiet district and the city centre is a drive away. As a general rule, up to 49 % of the floor area in a Thai condominium can be registered in foreign freehold ownership (the foreign quota), while the rest falls under the Thai quota or is held through a company.
