Overview
Diamant Condominium (often referred to simply as "The Diamant") is a low-rise residential complex located on the Superhighway, just past the cluster of Sansiri dcondos. Developed by NC Housing, it offers a quieter, lower-density alternative to its massive neighbors.
The project stands out for having only 5 floors per building (compared to the standard 8 in the area), creating a less crowded atmosphere. While it sits in the same general "Central Festival Zone," it lacks the direct private walkway that the dcondos enjoy, meaning residents usually need a vehicle to access amenities comfortably.
Developer
NC Housing is a Bangkok-based public company, though less dominant in the Chiang Mai condo market than Sansiri. The build quality is solid, focusing on durability. The aesthetic is "Modern Contemporary," using earth tones and stone textures to blend with the garden landscape.
Location & Transit
Located on the Superhighway Frontage Road, Diamant is excellent for drivers. You can merge onto the highway instantly to head towards Nimman, Lamphun, or Doi Saket.
| Station | Line | Distance | 🚶 Walk | 🏍️ Motorbike |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Central Festival | Mall Hub | 600m | 8 min | 2 min |
| Arcade Bus Terminal | Regional Bus | 1.0km | 15 min | 3 min |
| Tha Phae Gate | Old City | 5.0km | N/A | 15 min |
| Airport (CNX) | Flight | 11km | N/A | 20 min |
Tip: While Central Festival looks close on a map, walking there involves navigating the highway frontage road, which often lacks proper sidewalks. A motorbike is highly recommended.

Unit Types
| Type | Size | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Bedroom | 30 – 35 sqm | Standard layout. Kitchens are often separate. |

| Duplex | 85+ sqm | Very rare units featuring two floors; hard to find on the market. |
Facilities
Recreation:
- Swimming Pool: A saltwater system pool located in the central courtyard. It is smaller than the dcondo pools but generally much quieter due to fewer residents.
- Fitness: A functional gym with basic cardio and weight equipment.
- Sauna: A nice value-add that not all mid-range condos in this area possess.
Atmosphere:
- Low Density: With only 5 floors, you never wait long for an elevator, and the pool area rarely feels chaotic.
Pros
- Value for Money - Rental rates here are typically 10-15% lower than the equivalent unit at dcondo Sign or Ping.
- Low Density - Fewer neighbors mean less noise in the hallways and more privacy at the pool.
- Unit Layouts - The units often feel slightly more spacious or have "real" balconies compared to newer mass-market builds.
- Driving Convenience - Easy access to the Superhighway without the traffic jams of the inner city.
Cons
- No Mall Walkway - Unlike the Sansiri projects, you cannot walk safely to Central Festival through a back gate. You must use the main road.
- Highway Noise - Building 1 (closest to the road) gets significant traffic noise.
- Limited Amenities - The pool and gym are smaller and less "Instagrammable" than the resort-style facilities next door.
- Strictly No Pets
Best For
- Budget-Conscious Drivers - If you have a car/bike and want to be near the mall but save 2,000 THB/month on rent.
- Introverts - Who prefer a small, quiet building over a massive complex with hundreds of people.
- Long-Term Expats - Who value the lower price point and don't mind the lack of "luxury" branding.
The Bottom Line
Diamant Condominium is "The Quiet Neighbor." It sits in the shadow of the giant dcondo complex but offers a compelling alternative: lower rent, fewer people, and a calmer vibe. If you prioritize budget and privacy over having a massive swimming pool, Diamant is the smart "insider" choice in the Fa Ham area.
