Phoenix Grove development pattaya May Newsletter.

Greetings to you all and I do hope that this first and in the future monthly newsletter will provide our owners with an up to date insight as to the progress at Phoenix Grove.
I would like to talk about the process and progress of planning as this has changed the concept and timing of completion of your project. In early January 2008 we submitted our planning to the Chonburi planning office for consideration with our application for a full building permit. The planners came back to us after some four months of deliberation and some four meeting to request our cooperation in finding a solution to the surface water created by the road system. They suggested that we create two small lakes and find a way of channeling the water into those lakes.
At first we really did not know what to do, but with two full time architects working in the office they both put their heads together and come up with a new scheme which was fairly radical. Please see the attached new layout. But after hours of discussion both internally and with the planners we began to realize that this was a truly great solution. The club house has been moved from the entrance to a much larger area in the lower area of the development, two lakes are now located to the front of the clubhouse, three putting greens have been retained and all agree that the new location of the clubhouse will ensure a more peaceful retreat for owners.
In addition we were not selling the three storey townhouses and as we were getting requests for more condominiums we moved to create a scheme to include them in the new drawings. Phase 1 has 26 condo units and I am happy to tell you all that these have been reserved for an Australian investment group. In addition we are at an advanced stage of negotiation with an investment specialist in England for two other blocks on Stage 2 of the development. There is also a private investor who has purchased the larger units in the two far corners of the development. So I think we did do the right thing as these sales have been achieved over the last four weeks.
Now to explain phase 1, we have decided to meet the December 2008 completion date on this phase which includes 36 linked bungalows and 26 condominiums plus all the infrastructure, the contractors will then move their office and staff accommodation to the lower land an entrance will be made from the side road to our land ensuring that phase 1 will not be disturbed by contractors or movement of materials to phase 2 land.
Phase 2 will be completed by June 2009; we apologies to all the owners on Phase 1 in that we are not going to be able to supply the clubhouse facilities but I am sure that you will all understand the need to complete at least phase 1 on the original delivery date.
I have attached the latest photographs of the project and you will see that the first 5 units are at an advanced stage, and having just confirmed to the contractors the formation of all 31 other units to footings and column stage our progress will be rapid from this point. The condominium block will commence in about 6 weeks time, this is because we need to form the road layouts and levels for all the remaning bungalows. We will send to all of you photographs of progress with our monthly newsletter.
I would like to take this opportunity of thanking most of our clients in keeping up with their installments on the project, as you all understand our progress is supported 100 per cent from our client’s installments. Furniture packs are now being completed so I hope to be able to send you all under separate e-mail photographs and list of furniture.
We still a few units left on Phase 1 so if any of you wish to purchase more or you have friends and family who would be interested in purchasing into the fine investment please let us know.
