Bangkok Properties From Different Property Developers

Different Property Developers

A new developer ‘Tri Property’ has recently launched its second project ‘Proud X2’. The first project was ‘Proud’ at Chaeng Watthana area of Bangkok part of northern suburbs where all the units are sold where construction is under way. The promoters of the company had a large plot of land in the Soi next to Software Park. This attracts the value as it is situated just opposite to Central Plaza shopping mall. For the second project it bought the land in the same Soi. Prior to 1997 economic crisis the promoters owned construction company ‘Wanchai Construction, which was among the top 5 players in the field. In the crisis period the property bubble burst had to shift its attention from building construction activity.

The Tri Property uses precast floors, bricks and mortar walls in the condominium. The speedier prefab method is used by bigger budget developers, as this method augments the speed of construction which helps developer to clear the bank loans quickly. This has disadvantage as well. In the precast material the sleeves are to be kept for pipe fittings and alteration becomes costly and requires technical skill as well. The sealant used to affix the panels is important. Thai builders are usually conversant with brick and mortar techniques as this is traditional method in Thailand to build the houses. In this the alteration or repairs are cheap. The projects are for Thai buyers and their requirement in the ready to use units is almost same, it is easier for builder to design the layout make the flexible arrangements in interiors to give a spacious look. The size of the units is also small compared to foreigners demand. Even in event of prolonging political unrest these areas are going to remain insulated from any disturbances, which promise a better investment opportunity for end users.

Promoters of Bangkok properties

The promoters are not listed, overwhelmed with the response company plans to get it listed on the Thai Stock Exchange to meet the ambitious plans in the future. The immediate plan of the company is to launch projects worth BHT 500 million to 600 million next year. The target area will be near City Centre which is nearby the existing projects. The Chaeng Watthana area has developed as new government centre which employ ten of thousands of workers has recently started.

For the company eastern suburbs looks more promising as the Suvarnabhumi Airport is situated in the area and also has the eastern seaboard. This gets confirmed by a survey conducted by ‘The Nation’ last week. The Airport Rail Link between Makkasan and Suvarnabhumi, which will be done soon, has created new condominium clusters which are having plenty of inexpensive units and are attracting pretty good end users and investors.
