Laguna Lakelands Waterside Residences
Laguna Lakelands Waterside Residences is a lake-view condominium development of one to three-bedroom apartments in four-storey and seven-storey blocks with rooftop infinity pools, in the Lakeside zone of Laguna Lakelands, Banyan Group's residential community adjacent to Laguna Phuket at Bang Tao, launched in February 2024 as Lakeview Residences.
Launched in February 2024 as Lakeview Residences, and still titled Laguna Lakelands Lakeview Residences in the developer's own page title and image files; Waterside Residences is the current name on every navigational surface. One product, two names. Not to be confused with Lakelands Waterfront Villas, the four-bedroom pool villas beside it in the same Lakeside zone, or with Skypark Elara, the second Lakelands condominium on the adjacent site.
A lake-view address in the Lakeside zone of Laguna Lakelands, adjacent to Laguna Phuket, in the developer's words. Not a beach address: Banyan states no distance to Bang Tao beach and we state none.

Both structures exist in this project. Which one attaches to the specific unit changes what you own, so establish it early.
These do not add up to a single term. Only the left block is a right registered today; what follows depends on the wording of the clause and on who stands behind it when the time comes.
Term. Freehold within the 49 per cent foreign quota, or registered leasehold, as Banyan Group states for Laguna Lakelands condominiums (4 June 2026); route and term per unit not published.
What to establish before committing
Banyan Group's guide of 4 June 2026, read 23 September 2026: “Foreign buyers can own Phuket condos for sale at Laguna Lakelands under freehold title within the 49% foreign ownership quota of the building's total floor area, or on a secure registered leasehold basis.” That is stated for Laguna Lakelands condominiums generally, not for this building by name, and the project page itself says nothing on tenure. Which route a specific apartment is offered on, and how much of the quota is left in its block, is a written question before reserving. The lease term and any renewal wording are not published, so we print none. General information, not legal advice.
General information, not legal or tax advice. Any lease should be read by independent Thai counsel before signing.
Prices, availability, construction progress and ownership wording all move; we refresh them before any reservation and would rather show you the date than let a stale fact look current.
What we think, including what we would question.
Who it suits
A buyer who wants a lake-view apartment in a new community with Laguna Phuket's estate next door, is buying a building rather than a beach, and can choose between the freehold quota and a registered lease with the papers in hand.
What it compromises
A lake, not the sea, and no beach distance stated. Lakelands is a young community whose town centre, trails and clubs are largely artist's impressions today. Completion per block, remaining stock, sizes and price are unpublished. Not for a buyer who needs to walk a finished home this month, or one who wants beach frontage.
What we would ask first
Which blocks are complete and handed over; what developer stock remains against resale; the freehold quota left in the specific block, or the lease terms; sizes and the unit schedule; the common fee and sinking fund; the dated price list.
This is Embark’s opinion, not a sourced fact, and it is labelled that way deliberately.
Considering Laguna Lakelands Waterside Residences?
We will tell you what we know, what we are still confirming, and whether it fits what you are actually looking for.
Embark Estate is an appointed sales agency for this project, appointed by Banyan Group. We can put the developer's own current availability and pricing in front of you rather than a portal's.
What that means in practice
In practice that means we work from the developer’s own price list and unit schedule rather than from what has reached a portal. It does not change what we will tell you: an appointment is not a reason to recommend a building, and we will still say when this one does not suit the brief. Our Bangkok appointments are stated on the Bangkok branded-residences register. The developer publishes its own channel for this project at www.banyangroupresidences.com/thailand/phuket/laguna-lakelands-waterside-residences.
We publish no yield or capital-growth figure for this project, and no island average. Where an operator publishes audited numbers for a specific building we quote them with their date; otherwise we say nothing, because a guaranteed return is usually a price concession wearing a yield’s clothing.

What Laguna Lakelands Waterside Residences actually is.
Waterside was the first product sold at Laguna Lakelands, the community Banyan Group announced on 8 February 2024 as a USD 2 billion estate of one million square metres (700 rai) adjacent to Laguna Phuket, planned in five themed zones with up to 5,000 homes over five to ten years. Waterside sits in the Lakeside zone with the Waterfront Villas and Skypark Elara; on the July 2026 master plan it is number 53, near the Laguna Park 2 main entrance.

Two block types. The seven-storey blocks carry one to three-bedroom apartments and a 60-metre infinity pool on the roof. The four-storey blocks carry two and three-bedroom apartments in various layouts, some with private infinity-edge pools. Banyan's hub line is the shortest honest summary: one, two and three-bedroom condominiums, private pool on selected units.
Sales moved quickly by the developer's own account. The first two blocks were “snapped up” by 27 February 2024, and the last seven-storey block was released in June 2024, completing the first phase. Skypark Elara, launched that September on the adjacent site, is described by Banyan as following “the near sell-out launch of Phase One Laguna Lakeview Residences”.
Tenure is one of the few points Banyan states for Lakelands condominiums: freehold title within the 49 per cent foreign ownership quota, or registered leasehold, in its guide of 4 June 2026. It is stated for the community, not for this building by name, which is why it is modelled here as mixed and confirmed per unit.
Unit count, sizes, the completion date of each block, what stock remains and the price are not on the developer's pages as of 23 September 2026. Banyan published a from-price at launch in February 2024; we print no price until the developer clears a current one. Much of the estate around the building, its town centre, trails and clubs, is drawn as artist's impressions on the Lakelands site today.
Where this sits against the register’s floor. No current price is published, so we cannot say how much of this project clears the THB 20 million floor this register uses. Treat it as unestablished rather than as qualifying.
Before deciding, look at these too.

Laguna Lakelands Waterside Residences, answered plainly.
What is being sold at Laguna Lakelands Waterside Residences?
One to three-bedroom lake-view condominiums in two block types: seven-storey blocks with a 60-metre rooftop infinity pool, and four-storey blocks of two and three-bedroom apartments, some with private infinity-edge pools. It sits in the Lakeside zone of Laguna Lakelands, Banyan Group's community adjacent to Laguna Phuket, per the developer's pages read on 23 September 2026. Unit count, sizes, completion and price are not published and we do not estimate them.
Is Waterside the same as Lakeview Residences?
Yes. Every 2024 developer release, the 2024 master plan and the 2024-25 awards call it Lakeview Residences, and the developer's own page title and image files still do. Waterside Residences is the name on the page heading, the navigation, the Laguna Lakelands site and the 2026 master plan. Same URL, same page, same product; Banyan nowhere says it was renamed, so we say only that both names are its own.
Is Laguna Lakelands Waterside Residences freehold or leasehold?
Either, by the developer's own statement for Lakelands condominiums: Banyan's guide of 4 June 2026 says foreign buyers can own them “under freehold title within the 49% foreign ownership quota of the building's total floor area, or on a secure registered leasehold basis”. That is stated for the community, not for Waterside by name, and which route a specific apartment is offered on depends on how much of its block's quota is left. Establish it in writing before reserving; the lease term and renewal wording are not published. General information, not legal advice.
Is Waterside finished?
We have not established it. Sales began in February 2024 and the last block of the first phase was released in June 2024, but no developer page read on 23 September 2026 gives a completion or handover date for any block, and Banyan's general financing text describes 50 per cent during construction and 50 per cent on completion. Which blocks are handed over is the first written question before a visit is planned.
Does Waterside have a beach?
No. It is a lake-view address in the Lakeside zone of Laguna Lakelands, and Banyan states no distance from it to Bang Tao beach, so we state none. What Lakelands owners are offered instead, per the developer, is Sanctuary Club membership and access to the community's own clubs and facilities, much of which is drawn as artist's impressions today.
