Phase Two sales are underway as 66 condos and penthouses in Phase One have already been snapped-up.
“We were delighted with the response to condo sales in Phase One,” said Norbert Zuber, Royal Phuket Marina’s Sales Director.
“We anticipate an equally strong level of interest in the Aquaminiums and Royal Villas. The private berths and stunning design are unique.”
David Simister, Chairman of CB Richard Ellis Thailand and sales agent for the Hong Kong launch, said: “The fact that Royal Phuket Marina investors have already enjoyed 50-100 per cent capital appreciation, coupled with a lifestyle to rival any worldwide resort, is promoting continued interest.
“Over the last three months our enquiry levels for resort homes has never been stronger and while buyers are carefully weighing-up political considerations, we are still closing sales.
“Purchasing now is a smart move, taking advantage of a temporary lull in the market to buy prime units at launch prices.”
