“There is demand for low-rise houses in the central business district among wealthy families whose businesses are in the inner city.”

“They prefer living downtown,” said chief executive Chanin Wanidwong.”

“On Chidlom, Phloenchit, Lang Suan and Wireless roads, almost all residential supply is condominiums and most are priced at bt300,000 per sqm or more.”

Completion time for LEROY Ruamrudee is the end of this year’s first quarter.

The other three projects in Bangkok will be low-rise condominiums under the Walden brand, located on Sukhumvit Sois 23, 31 and 39.
Each will have fewer than 100 units priced at bt170,000-220,000 per sqm.

Mr Chanin said

“the shift to the Bangkok property market requires more funding than property development in Pattaya, as investment costs in the capital are significantly higher.”

“In Pattaya, the company spends bt40-100 million per rai to acquire land for property development. The comparable figure in Bangkok is bt300-400 million per rai. “

Although focusing on their newest projects in Bangkok doesn’t mean Habitat Group have forgotten Pattaya and have plans also to keep launching projects in the resort town.

A new condo project worth bt800 million will be launched in Pattaya’s Wongamat area next month.

Habitat Group is also well known for its investment schemes.

“Every project we launch and develop in Pattaya will come with a rental program in which we offer a guaranteed yield of 7% per year through the first 5 years. This concept got good feedback from investment buyers in Bangkok, also Thailand property market attracts Chinese, Singaporean, Taiwanese, Hong Kong investors.”

“We have more and more of these investors “Our project is targeting foreigner customers and hopefully we will make 3 billion in the next 3 year” says Chanin.”
