NovSun Hills Development
Sun Hills Development is the development brand under which the Thai legal entity Sun Hills Co., Ltd. operates in Phuket. Thailand’s Smart EIA Plus database identifies the company under registration number 0835566010671, registered on 10 March 2023 and currently active. One of its main publicly marketed developments is Sun Hills Layan in Layan, Choeng Thale; Home In Phuket lists 388 units across three 11-storey buildings with completion scheduled for December 2027. For a buyer, the practical point is to separate the brand’s broader history from the track record of the specific Thai entity and confirm which company is actually selling the unit and receiving the money.

Overview
Sun Hills Development is the development brand under which the Thai legal entity Sun Hills Co., Ltd. operates in Phuket. Thailand’s Smart EIA Plus database identifies the company under registration number 0835566010671, registered on 10 March 2023 and currently active. One of its main publicly marketed developments is Sun Hills Layan in Layan, Choeng Thale; Home In Phuket lists 388 units across three 11-storey buildings with completion scheduled for December 2027. For a buyer, the practical point is to separate the brand’s broader history from the track record of the specific Thai entity and confirm which company is actually selling the unit and receiving the money.
Track record
Sun Hills’ own website claims more than 16 years in the market, 27 completed projects and activity in Russia and Thailand. Those figures appear to describe the wider brand or group, while the Thai Sun Hills Co., Ltd. was only registered in 2023; the public sources reviewed do not provide a project-by-project record that independently ties all 27 claimed completions to this Thai entity. The official website also presents Proxima Villas as a 14-villa development with a stated Q3 2025 completion date. The wider group history is therefore useful context, but buyers should still ask for a documented list of completed projects, the legal developer for each one and evidence of actual handover.
Segments and prices
In Phuket, Sun Hills is active in resort-style apartments and villas. For Sun Hills Layan, Home In Phuket showed asking prices of roughly THB 3.922 million to THB 16.685 million on 27 August 2026, covering studios and one-, two- and three-bedroom units. These are public listing figures, not guaranteed transaction prices. Before booking, a buyer should obtain a dated offer for the exact unit, the full price in baht, payment milestones, fit-out specification, recurring charges and deposit-refund terms.
Geography
The brand’s visible Thai activity is concentrated on Phuket’s west coast, especially Layan, Choeng Thale and the Bang Tao area. Its official website places Sun Hills Layan, Sun Hills Lakeside and Proxima Villas in this part of the island, and the Thai company’s government record is also Phuket-based. That concentration makes site-to-site comparison easier for a buyer, but it also means the developer is exposed to the same local construction environment and west-coast demand cycle.
Reliability and public record
Sun Hills has a verifiable Thai legal entity and a documented permitting record: Smart EIA Plus shows two approved environmental impact assessment reports under Sun Hills Co., Ltd., for The Friends Condominium and Sun Hills Hotel. There is also a material public risk signal. In November 2025, The Phuket News reported residents’ complaints about alleged environmental breaches at Layan-area developments and said ONEP had confirmed that Sun Hills Co., Ltd. was investigated and instructed to correct violations. In January 2026, the Phuket Administrative Court rejected an interim request to halt several developments; there was no court-ordered suspension at that stage, but the ruling did not determine the underlying dispute on the merits. This is not enough to label the project either unsafe or cleared: before paying, a buyer should obtain current construction permits, specific to the project EIA compliance records and the status of any outstanding official notices for the relevant building.
What to verify
Before booking, match the legal seller and developer named in the sale agreement to Sun Hills Co., Ltd. or any separate project company, and verify the signatory authority and bank-account beneficiary. Request the land title, construction permit, the EIA report applicable to the exact project and evidence of compliance with its conditions. For an apartment, separately confirm that the building is registered as a condominium, that foreign quota remains available for the specific unit and that the tenure stated in the contract matches the title path. Under Thai law, foreign ownership in a registered condominium is capped at 49% of the total condominium area; a marketing label does not prove quota availability at transfer. Buyers should also ask for a documented list of actually completed group projects and handovers, because the public claim of 27 delivered projects is not broken down project by project.

Frequently asked questions
Is Sun Hills a long-established Thai developer?
The brand claims more than 16 years of experience and 27 completed projects, but the Thai Sun Hills Co., Ltd. was registered on 10 March 2023. It is therefore more accurate to distinguish the group’s claimed history from the shorter record of the specific Thai entity. Buyers should request a completed-project list showing the legal developer and handover evidence for each project.
Does Sun Hills Layan have confirmed permits and EIA approval?
Thailand’s government EIA database shows two approved reports under Sun Hills Co., Ltd., but their legal project names are The Friends Condominium and Sun Hills Hotel. The public material reviewed is not enough to automatically map every record to the commercial name Sun Hills Layan. Layan-area projects have also been subject to public complaints and regulatory scrutiny. The seller should therefore provide a direct documentary link between the exact building, land plot, EIA report number, construction permit and sale agreement.
Can a foreign buyer own a Sun Hills apartment freehold?
If the specific project is registered as a condominium and foreign quota is available for the chosen unit, a foreign buyer may take freehold ownership within Thailand’s statutory 49% foreign-ownership cap by total condominium area. What matters is not the project’s general marketing language but written confirmation of quota and title eligibility for the exact unit at the time of transfer.
