Frasers Property unveils its holistically integrated development in Bangkok, redefining urban living

BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 8 October 2024 – One Bangkok, a landmark project presented by TCC Assets (Thailand) Co., Ltd and Frasers Property Holdings (Thailand), is a holistically integrated development centrally located in the heart of Bangkok’s Central Business District. It will open its doors to the public on 25 October 2024. Situated on approximately 17 hectares of prime real estate, One Bangkok is one of the largest private sector developments in Thailand and aims to be ‘The Heart of Bangkok’, and the centrepiece of Bangkok’s future.

The development comprises three dynamic retail experiences, five premium office towers that offer unparalleled work-life quality, five luxury and lifestyle hotels, including Bangkok’s first Ritz-Carlton and Andaz. Additionally, it boasts three upscale residential towers and a vibrant arts and culture scene, all set within 8 hectares of welcoming, sprawling greenery.

One Bangkok is a testament to Frasers Property’s multinational expertise and experience in creating vibrant, integrated developments. The holistically integrated project, with an investment value of USD 3.2 billion, has been created with the ambition to become an integral part of Bangkok’s identity and a place that resonates deeply with its people, establishing Bangkok as one of the world’s influential global cities.

A Vision for the Future

“One Bangkok embodies our vision for the future of Bangkok as a global hub for business, tourism and investment. By seamlessly blending world-class facilities with cutting-edge sustainability and innovation, we are not just creating a must-visit destination for everyone living in or visiting Bangkok – we are reshaping the future of urban living. Bangkok’s potential as an international business and tourism hub is immense, and One Bangkok is poised to play a pivotal role in driving its growth, attracting talent, global investors, and visitors from around the world,” said Panote Sirivadhanabhakdi, Group Chief Executive Officer of Frasers Property Limited.

The Rhythmic Retail Experience at One Bangkok

The comprehensive development features three interconnected retail experiences – The Parade, The STOREYS (both open 25 October) and POST 1928 (to open in the next phase). Each offers a unique blend of shopping, dining, beauty, health, wellness and entertainment, catering to diverse preferences. The district will also be home to Thailand’s first “MITSUKOSHI DEPACHIKA”- the newest food destination for Japanese & international groceries and food hall with the one-of-a-kind concept of Japanese “DEPACHIKA”. Beyond the three retail experiences, One Bangkok Retail pulsates with local pride and global appeal. ‘Made in One Bangkok’ showcases Thai craftsmanship and creativity with unique experiences, exclusively designed for One Bangkok.

The ‘Food Loop’ with the concept of an “All Day, Everyday Dining Journey”, houses 250 dining options over a 1.5 km stretch ranging from legendary fine dining restaurants to vibrant street food, creating a one-stop destination suited to every palate.

Elevating Bangkok’s Cultural Landscape

Art takes centre stage at One Bangkok with the ‘Art Loop’, a 2 km pathway that winds its way through the development, featuring diverse artworks and comprehensive programmes. One Bangkok will soon unveil permanent public sculptures including the works of world-renowned artists Anish Kapoor and Tony Cragg.

A Lush Urban Green in the Heart of Bangkok

Built on three development principles of People-Centricity, Green Sustainability and Smart City Living, One Bangkok prioritises visitors’ experience, with people being central to every decision. Every detail, from the intuitive layout to the abundance of green spaces, is carefully crafted to enhance everyday life.

One Bangkok’s masterplan is designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM), a globally acclaimed architectural firm known for iconic structures such as the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. SOM has infused its expertise in sustainability, efficiency, and human-centred design into every element of One Bangkok.

With a remarkable 50% of its total land area dedicated to open and green spaces, the district breathes life into the city, offering a refreshing respite from the urban bustle. The development seamlessly connects the city’s two green ‘lungs’, Lumphini Park and Benjakitti Park, creating an interconnected network of green spaces that improves air quality and promotes biodiversity, thus fostering a healthier, more sustainable urban environment.

Scott Duncan, Design Partner at Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) said: “Designing One Bangkok goes beyond creating buildings—we’ve crafted an ecosystem where nature is integral to the experience. The green spaces are not an afterthought; they flow seamlessly throughout the development, enhancing well-being and fostering a deeper connection between people and the city.”

Sustainability is at the core of the project, boasting cutting-edge and future-proof green smart technologies that deliver environmentally friendly and energy-saving solutions to enhance every aspect of the urban experience.

One Bangkok aims to set a new standard for sustainable urban development in Thailand in line with Bangkok 250, a visionary roadmap for the city’s 250^th anniversary in 2032 to elevate Bangkok’s global standing through infrastructure advancements and suitability initiatives.

Its commitment to innovation has earned One Bangkok double Platinum certifications for both WiredScore and SmartScore respectively, the first real estate project in Thailand to achieve this milestone. One Bangkok is also the first project in Thailand to be awarded the prestigious LEED for Neighbourhood Development Platinum certification.

Bangkok’s Most Prestigious Business Address

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 offers a prestigious address for leading Thai and global companies seeking high-quality office spaces. The development includes five premium office towers, three of which are already operational: One Bangkok Tower 3, One Bangkok Tower 4, and One Bangkok Tower 5. Key features of the offices include touchless and seamless technology that enhance the convenience in daily work-life experience, creating a conducive environment for productivity. The office floors also feature a wide and continuous open layout allowing for more dynamic and collaborative work environments. One Bangkok offers the most complete workplace with unrivalled amenities around its mixed-use district, including direct access to Lumphini MRT Station and six entrances and exits on Wireless and Rama IV Roads.

To date, leading multinationals such as Baker McKenzie, Estee Lauder Companies, and BMW Group Thailand, among others have chosen to locate their offices to One Bangkok.

Views of the Bangkok Skyline Like Never Before

One Bangkok elevates experiences to a new perspective, offering breath-taking panoramas of the iconic Bangkok skyline that serves as a stunning backdrop.

With its opening scheduled for 25 October 2024, One Bangkok invites everyone to experience the future of urban living. It is a bold statement of innovation, sustainability, and community— where life, work, and play converge in the heart of Bangkok.

Dr. Chana Poomee, Chairman of Thai Cement Manufacturers Association (TCMA), elaborated that the “SARABURI SANDBOX LOW CARBON CITY” initiative, launched on August 15, 2023, is driven by a public-private-people partnership (PPP) model. Led by the Governor of Saraburi Province, with support from TCMA, the Federation of Thai Industries-Saraburi Province, seven key ministries, in collaboration with more than 21 local agencies, and civil society, the project has made significant strides over the past year. It has also gained global recognition for its innovative ecosystem approach aimed at reducing carbon emissions.

“SARABURI SANDBOX” has been globally lauded as a model for fostering an innovation ecosystem with its outstanding concept, bringing together public, private, and civil society sectors to advance towards a low-carbon society. Key achievements include transitioning to hydraulic cement (low-carbon cement) in nationwide construction, the goal to phase out high-carbon cement production by 2025, accelerating the cement industry’s shift to clean energy, and increasing the use of alternative fuels (AF) such as biomass, solar power, and refuse-derived fuel (RDF). Other notable initiatives include grid modernization and advancing research on the Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) technology. All made progress are continuously presented at global climate forums such as the COP summits. In addition, with government backing and support from the Global Cement and Concrete Association (GCCA), TCMA was honored to co-host the GCCA CEO Gathering and Leader Conference in 2024, bringing together high ranking of cement and concrete manufacturers worldwide to unite in reducing carbon emissions. Furthermore, Thailand recently secured over 200 million Baht in Green Fund support from the Canadian government, aimed at facilitating cement and concrete industry in Thailand the transition to Net Zero by 2050.

During Climate Week New York City 2024, “SARABURI SANDBOX” was announced as a new member of Transitioning Industrial Clusters Initiative of World Economic Forum, becoming Thailand’s first industrial cluster, ASEAN’s third, and the 21^st globally to engage with the international community in achieving the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) on greenhouse gas reduction.

“TCMA is proud that the “SARABURI SANDBOX” innovation ecosystem has been selected to join the World Economic Forum’s Transitioning Industrial Clusters Initiative. This step will further propel Saraburi Province towards becoming a low-carbon city while highlighting the potential of TCMA and its members to collaborate with other industrial clusters, with support from the government, to expedite the green energy transition, to strengthen Thailand’s economic capabilities, creating win-win-win beneficial outcomes through 4 major mechanisms:- technology, policy, cooperation, and financing, alongside best practices from global partners within the Transitioning Industrial Clusters Initiative.” Dr. Chana remarked after presenting the progress on the Partnership in Focus forum at the High Level Ministerial/CEO Roundtable at the Sidelines of the Summit of the Future.

“SARABURI SANDBOX” is an area-based implementation, positioning Saraburi Province as a model for Thailand’s greenhouse gas reduction strategies. Operating under the 3C framework-Communication, Collaborative Action, Conclusion step-by-step, it aligns with Thailand’s NDC Roadmap, which aims to achieve net-zero carbon emissions. TCMA continues to collaborate with the government, private sector, and civil society across five key sectors: Industrial Processes and Product Use (IPPU), Energy, Waste, Agriculture, and Land Use Land Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF). These prototype projects provide a clearer pathway for action, identifying areas for improvement, and offering lessons on successful practices that can be scaled and replicated across other provinces.
