Ocean Drive Launches with 1,300 Guests at Extravagant Party
The end of last year, The Riviera Monaco finished but to no Celebratory Party. Gone was the usual Extravagant Riviera Party, the shows and the seamlessly brilliant way they exhibit their latest projects. Asking Winston on this he shared his thoughts; “At the time we finished Monaco, we were just not quite through the Covid period of people feeling comfortable in large crowds. Had we had a delayed party say 4-5 months later, I think we would have been fine but then it just wouldn’t have been the same. The excitement comes from the Grand Opening, the fact that no one has moved in yet and the building is empty, but waiting and ready to be occupied. It’s always an exciting moment in time for us”.
Seems only yesterday queues of people were sleeping outside The Riviera Monaco’s Showroom at the time to book in their latest Riviera Project (Ocean Drive). Pattaya had seen nothing like it to memory, people paid to sleep in a queue over 2 nights to reserve the unit they or their buyers preferred. The end result was a staggering 66% Sold in 48 Hours. Amazing what’s happened since then. Looking back, Covid being the most troublesome aspect of everyone’s lives and Pattaya was no exception creating a staggering amount of economic and human pain.
So finally, being able to do a Grand opening party for Ocean Drive puts a smile on your face then?
WG “Absolutely, Monaco so deserved its own amazing party but had that stolen from it by Covid so we wanted to make sure this Grand opening reminded us all that the Markets coming back and to showcase the uniqueness of our project Ocean Drive.”
Unique indeed, apparently over 1,300 guests attended are were able to wander the project and see its unique features. Completely different from any other of their projects – and any other project I may add!
Ocean Drive really is a selfie haven for those crazy mad unique photos, every area seems to hold many clever ideas, a warmth shines through the project as if the design was all about passion. Speak to Winston and Sukanya, it’s clear where all this unmistakable fine detailed passion to every single area comes from.
The entrance drop off is adorned with a gorgeous 1958 Buick classic American car relating to the Cuban feel of Ocean Drive, a mix of Miami and Cuba shining through. There’s even a couple of full-sized adult Giraffes to meet you (Seriously). Its ingenious, brave, sometimes an eccentric feeling but overall, just Clever and a sense of a design masterclass on display. Huge fashion imagery meets you built within huge 8m high stone arches and an 80+year-old grand wooden entrance door greets you before you enter the lobby. The lobby itself is warm, natural stone, combined with wood, soft furnishings and striking red chandeliers adorn each seating areas. This whole design detailing continues on throughout the building – almost too much to describe, only a visit will do it justice.
As for the party, this started off at 6pm with Mc Utt Uttsada and Mc Jirada Yohara providing MC proceedings followed by the live band Unity Band until the VIP guests arrived. First was Khun Thawatchai Csrithong, Chonburi Provincial Governor arrived, followed by Boy Pakorn and Supermodel Jeed Sangthong, then Winston and Sukanya and their family. At this point the crowds were huge outside, inside was no different with many wandering the building enjoying all facility floors or enjoying the significant food catering and free flowing drinks provided. International dancers from Boss dance entertained with several sequences both around the crowds and on-stage. Then the Chonburi Provincial Governor was invited onto the stage to say a few words followed by Winston, where he thanked those whom had made the project possible within his Riviera Team. Remaining VIPs were further invited onto the stage to see Winston open the Champagne and publicly open the Project. After this, the crowds enjoyed a dramatic model show by Khun Winny Saengsuwan and then a Virtual tour of the building was performed via satellite link to a huge LED screen located on the ground floor. Kratae Rsiam then kicked off the music with her unique style followed by DJ Nana to close the party. It’s been a long time since we last enjoyed a party like this to open a condominium… and how we have missed them.
