Tulip Group sales figures surge ahead
Traditionally the months of June and July are very slow months for property developers in Pattaya and Thailand in general. Tourist numbers during these months are at a low and business in the region is normally at its lowest at any time of the year. Local businesses normally spend this period preparing for the typical high season which normally kicks in from September.
Pattaya Property Developer Tulip Group however appear not to be suffering from the traditional “low season” after reporting extremely encouraging sales figures for the months of June and July. The developer reports sales of 400 Million Baht from its two main projects Centara Grand Residence and Waterfront Suites and Residences.
“The last 2 months have been great for us, visitor numbers to our showrooms are down, but the clients that are visiting are serious buyers,” said Vice President for Tulip Group Jason Payne.
Tulip Group has put the success down to their marketing philosophy which is largely driven towards the Thai sector, mainly from Bangkok.
“From day one we knew that our two premium projects would be of interest to Thai investors, branded residences are common in Bangkok, but not in Pattaya, so our marketing campaigns have been very strongly planned around attracting buyers from the capital, in addition to this, interest has remained very strong in our Waterfront project from foreign investors especially now that construction has started,” said Payne
Tulip Group, are currently developing three branded residences, two of which are with Centara Hotels and Resorts and one with Park Plaza Hotels Europe. The group, are also close to finishing their first hotel with Centara which will open next year. Centara Grand Pratanmak, which is a boutique style “Grand” offering luxurious facilities, opulent design and offers amazing views of Cosy beach and surrounding islands.
Tulip Group will also launch in September a further branded property in the centre of the city, which will consist of a hotel and three residential condominium buildings. The low rise project on 5 Rai of prime city centre land will house 500 condo units and is targeted at local and international investors looking for a quality mid ranged priced product, with easy access to the city’s plethora of bars, restaurants, shopping centers and entertainment areas.
