Script

This is One Bangkok, and it is Thailand’s largest fully integrated district, a so-called “once in a generation development”. it is a place renowned to have a vibrant, prosperous community with best-in-class buildings, space efficiency for occupants, and adaptability to evolving markets. A location filled with the most mesmerizing technology.

The master plan of One Bangkok is that it will have 5 district realms each having a unique purpose to serve, from retail & lifestyle elements to towers that serve both working and living, it is truly one of the most spectacular sights to see in Thailand.

To go into detail of this massive project, it would have Five Premium grade A office buildings, a certificate that ensures it is suitable for occupation for the largest businesses in the world. Five luxury and lifestyle hotels will take part in this district where each will be constructed by some of the most famous brands in the region. The Three luxury residential towers will yet be another amazing sight and will be surely occupied by Thailand’s elites amongst elites. Other projects included are arts and cultural hubs. In total, all of these will occupy a land size of over 16.7 hectares, something that will undoubtedly be an expensive sight to see considering it is located in a prestigious location.

The most outstanding factor among all these complexes is that it will have a 90-story meter signature tower, making it the country’s tallest building to date! Inside it will have several office spaces, and even a super luxury hotel! It will give the occupants the panoramic view of the city with the focus on Bangkok’s skyline. Yes, it will also be one of Southeast Asia’s tallest towers!
While most of what we noted is it being a modern, hustle and bustle life establishment, it is actually far from it. Why? because half of the land it occupies which is 8 hectares is dedicated to green areas and open spaces, therefore making it not only a place identified as a working environment but welcomes the work-life balance. It is also the aim of this development, to make it a people-centric area, basically means that it is designed for that seamless live-work-play.
As it is Constructed to be known as a world-class framework, then certainly its cost will indeed be something mouth-watering, a total over 3.8 billion dollars will be spent on this project alone! making it one of the most expensive real estate developments in Thailand. It is first estimated to finish in 2023 for its Phase 1 and 2026 for its Phase 2.

This will be located in Central Bangkok, which is just beside the Lumpini Park, the country’s largest and most beautiful park. And likewise connectivity won’t be an issue as it will be connected to several public transport systems.

An initiative like this just shows how determined the country wants to progress. It isn’t this project alone that Thailand has been chasing; there are several more others, one that I particularly like is its upcoming High-speed rail. Surely a scheme like this will create tens of thousands of jobs, I also believe that it will be a place where start-ups are founded as it is an innovation driven destination, quite an exciting project indeed!
