Models of condo DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT!

Even after phasing in a dead popular namesake detached house project in their home district of San Sai, The Laguna Home didn’t rest on any laurels. No sir, they set their sights squarely on conquering the local condominium market too; today regaling the Northern capital with not just one but a quartet of The Unique branded condos.

Breaking in with the 8-storey The Unique @ Nimman in November 2012 followed 16 months later by the equally grand opening of the 7-storey The Unique @ Ruamchok; though the condo units for the 8-storey The Unique @ Nimman 2 were transferred to their new owners at the same time from January 2015, The Unique @ Koomuang -unlike the exclusively twenty-first-century style singular structures of its residential relations- counts twin 7-storey buildings and, to ’capture the eyes of the visitors and the heart of the residents’, strikingly figured traditional Northern Thai inspired form.

What’s consistent among ‘em is that all The Unique Condos show off textbook construction in addition to being professionally serviced and, souped up with earlier groundbreakin’ intelligent technologies for the added comfort and safety of its occupants, richly featured.

But which of The Unique Condos’ golden LOCATIONS around Chiang Mai to pick?

With The Unique Condo @ Nimman sittin’ on a single rai plot and The Unique Condo @ Nimman 2 taking up about two-thirds as much land one door down, both properties are superiorly positioned on soi Suk Kasame literally a matter of paces to the brightest lights in town, Nimmanhaemin Road! Along the main strip and its branching side lanes, an overload of cosmopolitan restos, franchised and indie coffee shops, co-working places, wellness clinics, boutique retailers, shopping arcades and the coolest after-dark beer, wine and cocktail lounges; not forgetting at nearby Rin Kham Intersection, the iconically futuristic Maya Lifestyle mall laying claim to over a ton of stores and eateries, duo of food courts, Rimping Supermarket, 24-hour CAMP library café, multiplex cinema [movie theatre], MAXX Fitness, and on the observation decked rooftop (‘Nimman Hill‘), several sky bars. While directly west of the condos and scarcely any less walkable lies Canal Road and just beyond, Chiang Mai University’s partly wooded principal campus stuffed with student-priced cafeteria, farmers’ markets, public library, sports clubs and, unmissable at sundown, the picture-perfect Ang Kaew lake backed by the verdant Doi Suthep-Pui mountains.

Occupying a rather more suburban spot on a bit over one and a quarter rai where the Inner Ring Road [Highway 3029] meets the Chiang Mai-Phrao Road at Ruamchok Meechai Intersection stands The Unique Condo @ Ruamchok. Right across the way looms the jumbo sized Tesco Lotus Ruamchoke hypermarket for a massive selection of everyday affordable groceries and domestic wares. Opposite which, the joyously crowd-free Meechok Plaza home to Rimping Supermarket, surrounding international restaurants not least Kelly’s Bistro for authentically English fish ‘n’ chips and, out front twice weekly, an absolutely smashin’ night market. Next door and now boasting a Tops supermarket is Ruamchok Mall; then Kad Ruamchok fresh market beside a parade of mom-and-pop shops shifting everything from cooked-to-order economical Thai grub to almost every sort of household supply known to man! Otherwise to hit the city, head down the southbound carriageway of Highway 1001 and in hardly more than one klick, the Super Highway at Fa Ham (Mae Jo) junction.

Covering an area of more than one and a half rai set back from Manee Nopparat Road and named after its whereabouts on the northern edge of the city [mueang] moat [khu], Chiang Mai’s condominiums simply don’t get any more central than The Unique Condo @ Koomuang! Why, not a coupla hundred metres away is the Old City’s north-west [Hua Lin] corner and from there, up Hussadhisawee Road into the midst of the ever reviving yet still largely local neighbourhood of Santitham; or down Bunrueang Rit Road to Chiang Mai Ram Hospital and, with drive-thru Starbucks, the recently finished CMR Health Centre Complex; else, straight onto Huay Kaew Road and a stone’s throw to the aged but refreshingly practical Kad Suan Kaew mall  blessed with a Central department store, Tops supermarket, ‘Tasty Factory’ food court, bowling alley, karaoke, cinema and, on Thursdays to Saturdays, the cracking Sum Murd night market. Whereas making in an easterly direction from the condo en route to Chang Phueak Gate in under 10 minutes on foot, Computer Plaza and Icon IT electronica malls; Icon Park with KFC, Pizza Hut and Goodbar watering hole; PTT filling [gas] station with Jiffy convenience store; 3 Little Pigs Soul Kitchen for regional American fare and El Diablo’s Burritos for Mexican; Thai and Korean shabu buffet joints; a 24-hour Tesco Lotus Express; and Chang Phueak’s roofed day and outdoor night markets.

A complete range of SHARED AMENITIES to make the most of!

On site at each and every The Unique Condominium:

• Round-the-clock security guards, CCTV camera surveillance plus electronic keycard (or fingerprint) entry through the building’s main doors and, via the pair of ‘Smart Control’ lifts [elevators] (just the one at The Unique 2 @ Nimman), access only to resident’s own floor and condo unit

Crowned with extra spacious, functional and conceptually styled CONDO UNITS!

As well as double thickness walls for the sake of noiseproofing and thermal insulation, The Unique’s residential pads are proportionally bigger than normal:

• The Unique @ Nimman’s 75 condo units, those with 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom vary from 52.4 to 88.0 sq m and 2 bed, 2 bath suites 89.2 to 114.4 sq m
• The Unique @ Ruamchok’s 72 condo units, those with 1 bed, 1 bath run from 50.5 to 57.8 sq m and 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom suites 94.9 to 95.3 sq m
• The Unique @ Nimman 2’s 40 condo units, those with 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom span 46.7 to 52.4 sq m and 2 bed, 2 bath suites 94.0 to 100.4 sq m
• The Unique @ Koomuang’s 104 condos (53 in building A and 51 in building B), studio units run from 32.3 to 38.1 sq m with 1 bed, 1 bath units 51.9 to 58.9 sq m and 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom units 96.0 to 109.5 sq m
•  

The whole lot, though, come air-conditioned throughout with one to three balconies apiece and efficiently executed open-plan living/dining/kitchen setup. And for further peace of mind, kitted with a motion detector, video intercom to screen incoming guests from four different points, and front door installed with a premium digital lock.

With the odd exception, The Unique condo units are offered fully furnished and useably equipped with high quality leading name materials even down to the Japanese type smart washlet in the powder room! Not to mention graciously appointed with a collection of internal presentations – contemporary Lanna by celebrated Chiang Mai interior designer, Yutthana Mohprasit, and modern theme by Bangkok’s Modernform Group at The Unique @ Nimman, The Unique @ Ruamchok and The Unique @ Nimman 2; and at The Unique @ Koomuang, an additional vintage shabby chic décor fashioned by the developer’s in-house crew.
