The U.S. Consul General’s New Home Is a 999 House
An international milestone in Thai property development
At 999 Developments, we design every home with one simple goal: to exceed expectations. But some moments push us beyond even our own highest standards. We are proud to officially announce that one of our flagship properties has been selected by the United States Government to serve as the official residence of the U.S. Consul General in Chiang Mai.
This is more than a property sale — it is a moment of national and professional pride. It is a recognition of the quality, reliability, and attention to detail that define every home we build. And it is a strong signal that Thai property developers can meet, and even surpass, international standards of excellence.
A Home Fit for Diplomacy
Over the past year, the U.S. Department of State conducted a wide-ranging search across Chiang Mai to find a residence suitable for the incoming U.S. Consul General. The home needed to meet strict technical and legal standards. It had to be secure, accessible, energy efficient, structurally sound, and suitable for hosting high-level diplomatic visitors and formal events.
Out of all the properties reviewed, only one house met all the criteria: a 999 Developments home. Located in a serene, private setting with elegant finishes, modern systems, and reinforced construction throughout, the selected property stood out not only for its beauty and scale, but for its build quality and planning. It is the largest and most refined home we have ever built — and it now has a truly fitting purpose.
In just a few months, the incoming U.S. Consul General will move into this home. It will become not just a place of residence, but a stage for diplomacy, hosting conversations that represent both countries, and welcoming guests from around the world.
A Testament to Standards — And Collaboration
Working with the U.S. Government was an educational and inspiring experience for our entire team. The United States’ Office of Overseas Buildings Operations (OBO) is responsible for managing American diplomatic real estate around the world, and their standards are among the most rigorous of any public agency.
Throughout this process, we had the opportunity to collaborate with a remarkable team of professionals, including Khun Brian, Khun Justin, Khun Adam, and Khun Somsak. From the initial evaluations to structural reviews, legal due diligence, financial structuring, and final walkthroughs, the U.S. team brought clarity, professionalism, and respect to every interaction.
We are grateful for their trust, their high standards, and the collaborative spirit they brought to the table. At every step, the goal was clear: to find a home that represented the values of comfort, integrity, and long-term reliability. Together, we achieved that.
Bringing International Standards Home
This experience did more than validate what we have already built. It gave us the opportunity to learn from some of the best practices used globally in government-backed real estate. We have gained new insights into design validation, long-term structural planning, redundancy systems, emergency planning, and even data room management for due diligence.
We are excited to incorporate many of these lessons into our upcoming projects. From enhanced documentation standards to additional structural reinforcement techniques, energy efficiency upgrades, and clearer customer handover processes — the influence of this deal will continue to shape the future of our company.
Our homes will remain uniquely Thai in character, but now strengthened by a global perspective.
A Moment of Pride for Chiang Mai
This deal also reflects something bigger than just us. It highlights Chiang Mai as a city capable of supporting high-level international presence. That the U.S. Government chose to base its senior diplomat in a 999 Developments property is a statement not only about the house itself, but about Chiang Mai’s growing reputation as a world-class destination.
Chiang Mai has always had charm. Now, it has global recognition.
