Buying Fractional Ownership, Resort Real Estate & Timeshares

Internationally acclaimed design, branding and marketing company yoo, together with one of Asia’s leading development groups Absolute are set to launch a new apartment complex that will provide buyers with both a beautiful home as well as a secured and guaranteed investment – the perfect antidote to the world’s economical slow down and the safest haven to invest at yooPhuket.

When deciding on a foreign property for purchase, whether to reside in permanently, use as a vacation home or as an investment, it is wise to pick a property that has been developed by a reputable developer; one with a strong track record of well-built construction projects as well as professional after-sales management. Also, the developer should make the buying process as simple and painless as possible. The developer should be well versed in the country’s property ownership laws and regulations and have solutions for any hurdles that buyers may face when buying in a foreign market.

Also, when it comes to purchase a property, a buyer can choose units that are furnished or unfurnished, and of course any buyer that chooses furnished wants their new investment both functionally and stylishly equipped using high quality products. The interior design of a home for sale and the complex the home is set within, regardless of the location or how well it is built, can easily sway a potential buyer’s decision on whether to purchase it or not.

So when Absolute combined their Thai housing and apartment market knowhow and experience with world renowned design company yoo, they laid the foundations for one of a kind partnership that is able to offer unique properties that meet all the above mentioned criteria. The Absolute Developments company and the uber cool yoo brand have united and are now set to offer a distinctive selection of designer apartments and penthouses that are superbly built on the beautiful island of Phuket, Thailand. The development, yooPhuket, promises to deliver well constructed homes that have interiors created by the exciting and cutting edge yoo designer team.

Who are yoo?
A truly international brand, yoo is celebrated for its innovative design flair, high specification and democratic ethos. Having co-founded the Manhattan Loft Corporation, which transformed urban London living in the 1990s with its regenerated loft spaces, property developer John Hitchcox formed yoo in 1999 with the world’s most celebrated designer, Philippe Starck. Since then yoo has continually raised the bar for contemporary design and electrifyingly redefined the simple word ‘home’ in award-winning schemes around the world.

Over the past ten years yoo has been working with international partners on a variety of landmark buildings
and large residential projects throughout Asia, Australia, Europe, North and South America and the Middle East. In 2008, yoo won two awards from CNBC International Property Awards for ‘Best Interior Design’ at The Jade, NYC and ‘Best Development, Central and South America’ at Punta del Este. The company also won
awards in the same year from The Home Overseas magazine and The What House Awards.

yooPhuket has been created by the yoo Design Studio. Yoo is particularly known for its interior design and ultra chic styling, bringing together some of the best design talents in the industry. Prior to the yooPhuket project, yoo’s experience in Thailand includes the exclusive Cape Yamu villas, built in partnership with Campbell Kane, also in Phuket.
