The projects which newly launched in the past 1-2 years mainly had sale rate over 70 percent. The Hi End condo (110,000 – 190,000 baht/sqm) holds the biggest market share of 74 percent or 2,544 units of both high rise and low rise condos. The best seller of this cluster is the project with the selling price of 110,000 – 120,000 baht/sqm, mostly locate in Inthamara neighborhood, while there is none of project with this selling price developed in Ari- Phaholyothin. Therefore, this area leaves a potential marketing opportunity for the property industry.

“The market demands in low rise condo in this zone are continually seen, as the price for residence that located in the heart of Bangkok, near the sky train stationsounds reasonable and affordable. Meanwhile the selling price of the high rise condo is more expensive due to the price of the land plot and its availability.
