Ms.Yuwadee Sahapornpitakkul, Senior Director of Capital Markets at JLL Thailand, commented:
“The strategic location of land plot played a critical role in attracting strong interest from reputable investors. Its connectivity, amenities, and long-term growth prospects make it one of the most coveted sites in Bangkok. By managing a transparent tender process, we enabled the landlord to fully leverage the site's market potential while ensuring all parties benefited from a fair and competitive outcome.”
Mr. Youssef EL Khomri, President, The Erawan Group PLC, said:
“We are delighted to have successfully acquired this long-term land lease in a highly sought-after site in central Bangkok, marking an important milestone for our company. This acquisition directly aligns with our long-term development strategy, which focuses on creating distinctive hotel assets in Bangkok’s most strategic and high-potential districts.
With new premium land supply in central Bangkok becoming increasingly limited, securing this site significantly strengthens our development pipeline and provides a strong foundation for future expansion. Our vision is to develop a hotel that elevates the city's hospitality offering and contributes to the vibrancy of Asok and Phrom Phong.
Bangkok remains one of Asia’s most dynamic and resilient hotel markets, and this new development reflects our continued confidence in its long-term outlook. We would also like to extend our sincere appreciation to our landlord for entrusting us as a partner in this project, as well as to JLL for their professionalism and efficiency throughout the entire transaction process.”
