reader Posted April 2, 2019 Posted April 2, 2019 From The Nation (2 Apr.) HOTEL AND property development firm Dusit Thani Plc and retail and property developer Central Pattana Plc are collaborating to develop a mixed-use project, Dusit Central Park, at a cost of Bt36.7 billion. The project will cover 440,000 square metres on the intersection of Silom and Rama IV Road in what was once the location of Dusit Thani Hotel. The project is expected to be complete in 2024. The project brings together luxury residences, a state-of-the-art office tower, a high-end shopping complex with a large rooftop park and a distinctive reimagining of Dusit Thani Bangkok hotel, Dusit’s iconic flagship property, which served as a symbol of Thai hospitality for 50 years. “We aim to deliver a one-of-a-kind mixed-use project that blends heritage and innovation, connects all important infrastructure and transportation, embraces a green concept reflecting our prime position opposite Lumpini Park, and delivers enduring value to all our stakeholders,” Dusit Thani Plc group chief executive Suphajee Suthumpun said at press conference yesterday. The first one would be Dusit Thani Bangkok Hotel. Designed to preserve the rich architectural and artistic heritage of the original hotel, the new 39-storey, 250-room Dusit Thani Bangkok will feature a modern-yet-familiar design that incorporates significant elements from the original hotel. The second phase will be commercial space. Central Park Offices, with 90,000 square metres, will aim to become a professional hub, providing the ultimate in technology for city workers where connectivity is the priority, suitable for innovative startups and large companies. There will also be a Central Park Shopping Complex that will offer a luxury retail experience. The shopping mall will feature iconic international and local brands over 80,000 square metres to meet the needs of various lifestyles. Also topped with a rooftop park, the shopping complex will provide an expansive outdoor leafy retreat for people to unwind. These two elements will be completed in 2023. The final part of the project will be the residences. The 69-storey tower with 389 units will be divided into two distinctive sections – Dusit Residences and Dusit Parkside – each managed by Dusit International in line with its unique brand of Thai-inspired gracious hospitality. http://www.nationmultimedia.com/detail/Real_Estate/30366960 Quote
