Costing some100 million baht to construct, the modern-styled condominium will be built on 100 square meters of land offering 12 units (two 2 units per floor) with the ground floor used for customer service, a fitness center, café, and other amenities.
Rattana said the condo will be finished in December 2009 with the official opening being held on November 21 at The Avenue Plaza Pattaya in Soi 2.
