Sukhumvit Condominium Projects Continue Unabated

Bangkok’s property market shows no signs of slowing down in terms of new construction of condominiums as projects along Sukhumvit Road, a top Skytrain route, continue to be launched. The route from the Phloenchit intersection to Sukhumvit Soi 55 or Thonglor is seeing high competition among property developers as they have launched condominium projects worth more than Bt100 billion, with more than 10,000 units. 

Since last year nearly 100 projects have been launched in the area by both listed and non-listed property firms. Construction will be complete between the end of this year and 2013, according to a survey by The Nation newspaper last week. Examples are The Clover Thonglor, Le Lux & Sky Walk condominium, Ivy Thonglor, The Trendy Condominium, Noble Phloenchit, Ideo Morph 38, and Aequa. 

Condominiums along this route are priced between Bt80,000 and Bt200,000 per square metre. 

Luxury residences priced at over 150,000 baht ($5,000) per square metre are located between the Phloenchit intersection and the top of Sukhumvit Road between Sois 1 and 10. From Soi 10 to Soi 55, prices range between 80,000 and 150,000 baht per square metre.
