One Bangkok, Thailand’s largest and—so far—priciest urban development project, has finally opened some of its areas to the public after seven years of construction.
Taking over the 41-acre area in the heart of Bangkok, where Suanlum Night Bazaar once stood, One Bangkok will be home to five mixed-use buildings, three residential buildings, and five hotels, including Bangkok’s first Ritz-Carlton and Andaz. Right now, however, only two office buildings have opened; the rest will follow in Q4 of this year.
To the delight of Bangkok’s shopping-obsessed, One Bangkok will also house three “interconnected” shopping centers and zones spanning 160,000 square meters. Each of the retail hubs—Parade, The Storeys, and Post 1928—will look over Rama IV. Parade will be a nine-floor lifestyle mall catering to both your necessities and whims, while the five-floor The Storeys will steer towards trendy fashion and pop culture.
Post 1928 will be the most luxurious one, promising a row of top international luxury brands on what will be Thailand’s first “outdoor shopping street.” Restaurants and cafes will be nestled in all the malls, although the names of key tenants have yet to be revealed.
One Bangkok will also feature a total of 19-acre green spaces hugging these LEED-certified buildings. The complex will also be connected to the Lumphini MRT station via a pedestrian underpass and, for those coming in cars, to the main expressway via new checkpoints
Most of One Bangkok will be open to the public by the end of the year. The tallest building, though, set to become Thailand’s highest, will need more time. We’ll keep you updated once we have new information.
