Overview
Southpoint Pattaya is a prestigious residential development completed in late 2017 by Kingdom Property. Comprising two towers (30 and 20 stories), it sits on a 4-rai freehold plot on the "lush green slope" of Pratumnak Hill. The project was led by Nigel Cornick—the visionary behind iconic towers like Northpoint—and aims to deliver "Beverly Hills laid-back elegance" to the Pattaya coastline.
The project is famous for its unblocked vistas of the Royal Varuna Yacht Club and the clear waters toward Koh Larn. Its architecture is an intentional statement of contemporary flair, sitting amidst Zen-inspired gardens designed by modern master Colin J. Okashimo. Positioned in the secluded Cosy Beach pocket, it offers a high degree of privacy while remaining only a few minutes' walk from the city's most famous clifftop restaurants.
Developer
Developed by Kingdom Property, headed by Nigel Cornick. Cornick is a heavyweight in the Thai real estate industry, known for setting high-water marks for construction quality and luxury finishes in the Eastern Seaboard. Southpoint was designed as his "intelligent investment" flagship, utilizing Krung Thai Bank financing and EIA approval to ensure a stable, top-tier asset for buyers and renters alike.
