ABOUT THE PROJECT

Sunrise is a small-scale residential condominium completed in 2015 and situated in Rawai, Phuket's established southern beachside district. The project comprises six units in total, reflecting a boutique development approach rather than mass-market construction. Located in Rawai, an area historically favored by long-term expatriate residents and investors seeking proximity to the beach without the intensity of central Patong, Sunrise offers limited unit availability that underscores its intimate positioning within the local market.

The project's completion date of 2015 positions it within Phuket's mid-cycle development period, when construction standards had matured beyond earlier iterations but predated the recent luxury surge. Current active listing inventory shows one unit priced at 13.2 million baht, placing Sunrise within an upper-mid-range bracket for Rawai condominiums. This price point reflects the established nature of both the property and its location, where beachside proximity commands consistent demand.

Rawai itself has consolidated as a more stable residential zone compared to tourist-centric areas, with a substantial community of long-term foreign residents and owner-occupiers. The district maintains lower transaction velocity than Patong or Karon but demonstrates resilience among buyers prioritizing lifestyle continuity over turnover. The small unit count in Sunrise means that individual sales carry proportionally greater impact on occupancy perception, and the project's low profile suits buyers seeking discretion rather than branded prestige.

For investors, Rawai's dual characteristic as both residential enclave and secondary tourist destination creates a hybrid opportunity. Long-term rental yields in the zone typically range from four to six percent, with seasonal short-term rental potential providing upside for active management. Ownership structures at Sunrise appear standard for Thai condominium law, though verification of specific title documentation and foreign ownership eligibility remains essential. The scarcity of units combined with beachside location makes replacement value and hold-to-maturity positioning relevant considerations for capital preservation-focused investors in this zone.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Sunrise — buyer FAQ

Can foreigners own a unit at Sunrise in Rawai freehold?

Where a unit at Sunrise is registered under a condominium title, foreign buyers can hold it freehold, subject to Thailand's standard 49% foreign-ownership quota for condominium buildings. Any villa or land-based component instead follows Thai land rules, typically leasehold or a Thai company structure. Always confirm the exact title and remaining quota with the project before buying.

How far is Sunrise from the beach and central Phuket?

Sunrise sits in Rawai, minutes from Nai Harn Beach and the Promthep Cape viewpoint, with Rawai's own pier and seafood-market beach nearby. Chalong and Phuket Town are roughly 15-20 minutes by car, and Phuket International Airport is a longer drive at the island's northern end.

Is Sunrise a completed project or still under construction?

Sunrise is a completed development in Rawai. There is currently no active resale inventory listed for the project, so availability and unit mix should be confirmed directly with the project or a local agent before planning a visit or an offer.

Who is the developer behind Sunrise in Rawai?

Public listings do not currently identify a specific developer for Sunrise. As with any mixed-use residential in Rawai, buyers interested in the project should verify developer identity, management structure and title details directly through the project office, the juristic person or a licensed local agent before making an offer.

What kind of buyer does Sunrise in Rawai suit best?

Sunrise suits long-stay expats, retirees, divers and families drawn to Rawai's quieter, village-like pace rather than the busier west-coast resort belt. Its mixed-use layout puts cafes, dive shops and everyday services within walking distance, appealing to residents who value convenience over resort-style bustle.
