THE Wireless Road - Silom district of Bangkok is confirming its position as the international heart of the city, with a number of prestigious commercials, hotel and residential developments coming onto the market and changing the face and role of this area. They’re also pushing up property prices to record levels.
The seven major projects are:
1. The former night market on Wireless Road, opposite Lumpini Park, is the largest single project. This is being developed by property and liquor tycoon Charoen Sirivadhanabhakdi whose TCC Land will build a convention centre, hotel, offices, and department store on the currently empty plot.
2. The Dusit Thani, located on the corner of Silom, is set to be demolished (along with adjoining properties on Rama IV Road) in 2018 to make way for a new hotel and department store in a joint venture between the Dusit and Central Pattana.
3. Opposite the Dusit Thani, the former Robinson’s department store on Silom is to be renovated and upgraded.
4. The Sivadon/Sriboonruang building on Silom is to be demolished early 2018 to be replaced by a new office and retail development by the Minor Group.
5. Langsuan Village, an upmarket residential project on Soi Lang Suan and Soi Sarasin, is being developed by Siam Sindhorn and the Crown Property Bureau.
6. The former British Embassy site on Wireless Road has been acquired by the Central Group for redevelopment.
7. 98 Wireless, Sansiri’s luxurious new condominium, is setting record prices at 580,000 to over 700,000 baht per sq m.
