One Bangkok Stands Tall as "The Heart of Bangkok", Unveiling World-Class Retail Marvels for Q4 2024 Grand Opening

"With our collective experiences in developing leading real estate projects in over 20 countries, we now bring our knowledge and experience together with a world-class multi-disciplinary team to create One Bangkok, a fully integrated smart and sustainable district on an area of over 108 rai," said Panote Sirivadhanabhakdi, Group Chief Executive Officer of Frasers Property Limited.

"By paying meticulous attention to every detail, from master planning and design to construction and business operations, we are crafting 'The Heart of Bangkok' to be a unique wonder in everyone's heart, a place that will provide extensive green and open spaces to Bangkok, inspire every individual with art and cultural programmes, and enhance people's quality of life with sustainable urban development. Of equal importance is this project will bring Bangkok to the fore as an international city economically and culturally in terms of being an unequaled lifestyle destination, which will attract top-level businesspeople, investors, and tourists, both local and international alike."

The essential factors contributing to the significance of the project as "The Heart of Bangkok" are as follows:

Strategic Location in the Heart of Bangkok: Located at the corner of Wireless Road and Rama IV Road on the last piece of land in the city's most highly sought-after location, One Bangkok unites major business districts such as Sathorn, Silom and Samyan and enjoys direct access to the integrated public transport system in additional to six access points around the district. This is complemented by the district's green and open spaces of over 50 rai that connects Lumphini Park and Benjakitti Park to form a larger green canopy spread of over 700 rai serving as a large green lung of Bangkok.

Setting a New Standard for Smart & Sustainable Living: One Bangkok is the first project in Thailand to receive the highest certified LEED platinum for Neighbourhood Development for remarkable sustainable development, and the Platinum WiredScore and Platinum SmartScore certifications to ensure excellent digital connectivity. The project is currently striving to obtain the WELL Building Standard for enhanced quality of life, convenience and safety of all occupants and visitors.

Curated experiences with community spirit: A place where people can find a multitude of urban living experiences catering to diverse needs, creating a vibrant community where urban dwellers can work, live, and play, with learning spaces and creative venues, world-class arts, and cultural programs to inspire people and redefine a more fulfilling and comprehensive lifestyle.

One Bangkok comprises five premium office towers, five luxury and lifestyle hotels, and three luxury residential towers. One Bangkok Retail, a new leading shopping and lifestyle destination in Bangkok, will be the key component that completes the project's vibrancy.

Palinee Kongchansiri, Chief Retail Officer of One Bangkok said: "We are creating a new definition of retail at One Bangkok as the first lifestyle phenomenon in Thailand bringing together fully integrated and superior shopping experiences under the concept of 'The Rhythmic Experience,' where everyone can groove to the pulse and excitement of life and enjoy a diverse mix of experiences. This will be a place that makes every day special for all customers and visitors.
