One Bangkok shatters pre-committed leasing records,
Sets Sight on 80% Tenancy by Q2 2024 for its first office tower.
One Bangkok, a smart and sustainable HEART-Centric metropolis for all in the heart of Bangkok, jointly developed by TCC Assets (Thailand) Company Limited and Frasers Property Holdings (Thailand) Company Limited, is moving forward as planned. Recently, Thapana Sirivadhanabhakdi, Chairman of the Executive Committee of TCC Assets (Thailand) Co., Ltd., and Panote Sirivadhanabhakdi, Group Chief Executive Officer of Frasers Property Limited, led the senior management team of Frasers Property, strategic leasing partners CBRE and JLL, as well as project contractors, to inspect the construction progress of One Bangkok, which is on schedule to the construction timeline.
Tattayakorn Benjapattharaseth, Senior Vice President, Head of Offices of One Bangkok, said, “We are confident that the offices at One Bangkok will be the business hub that brings together leading local and international companies with a preference for premium office space, placing high importance on employee well-being, sustainability, and smart technology. Our offices combine full productivity and enjoyment, offering diverse experiences that inspire people to work collaboratively and creatively. To date, three office towers have achieved structural completion as planned. The first tower, introduced to the market with a total net leasable area of approximately 95,000 square metres across 50 floors, has exceeded expectations by securing a pre-commitment rate of over 50% within a year of its launch in October 2022 and is anticipated to reach 80% by the second quarter of 2024. Following the success of the first tower, the second office tower, spanning 48 floors and offering a total net leasable area of approximately 97,000 square metres, is estimated to be 55% pre-committed within the same timeframe. The third tower, featuring 35 floors and a total net leasable area of approximately 97,000 square metres, is now also available for pre-lease.”
Designed to set a new standard for the workplace of the future and enhance the quality of life and well-being of office workers, One Bangkok provides five smart and premium office buildings, encompassing over 500,000 square metres. Boasting unrivalled convenience, the office towers are located in a super-prime location at the corner of Wireless Road and Rama IV Road, with direct access to the MRT Blue Line at Lumphini Station. One Bangkok also features six access points around the district, including Thailand’s first direct expressway access, aiming to help reduce traffic congestion (around the project).
The office towers are seamlessly integrated into One Bangkok, and each building has been designed to respond to the changing demands of the workplace as places where people want to spend time before, during, and after working hours. Tenants and their employees can seamlessly live, work, shop, and stay in one convenient location, encouraging a harmonious work-life environment. One Bangkok’s holistic approach to the well-being of its occupants also includes 50 Rai (80,000 square metres) of green and open spaces that integrate expansive tree-lined pedestrian walkways stretching 5 kilometres throughout the entire district and a comprehensive art and culture programme via a multi-sensory 2-kilometre Art Loop.
Offices at One Bangkok are inspiring workspaces designed with tenant wellness in mind, equipped with the latest smart building technology to go beyond conventional workplace standards, ensuring comfort and optimising energy efficiency. One Bangkok has been planned to the highest specifications, targeting LEED Platinum certification for Neighbourhood Development and WELL Building certification for its office buildings. The office towers’ high-performance insulated glass façade protects users and property from temperature rise conditions and filters out solar heat gain by 75%, together with the innovative ventilation system that draws in 30% more fresh air than international standards and uses premium filters and UV disinfection for cleaner and healthier air circulation.
Underpinned by smart technologies and excellent digital connectivity, the office towers at One Bangkok have become the country’s first towers to obtain the highest certification levels – WiredScore Platinum and SmartScore Platinum for best-in-class digital connectivity with robust cyber and physical security for all building users. All five intelligent office towers leverage a comprehensive District Command Centre for real-time monitoring, seamlessly intertwining with the integrated mobile application. This synergy ensures optimal operational efficiency and grants tenants exclusive conveniences like parking reservations, ‘Find My Car’ services, a 24-hour security system to ensure safety and comfort at all times, and other tenant services.
One Bangkok is Thailand’s first project to pioneer the “Green Lease” model, which allows landlords and tenants to jointly set clear sustainability goals and guidelines toward sustainable practices for positive social and environmental impacts. The offices at One Bangkok have received an overwhelming tenancy response from numerous world-renowned companies spanning diverse industries, including finance & securities, law firms, entertainment, banking, beauty & cosmetics, etc. Leading companies committed to One Bangkok are KGI Securities (Thailand) Public Company Limited, Estee Lauder Companies, and Baker McKenzie. CBRE and JLL, global leaders in commercial real estate services, have been appointed strategic leasing partners.
