The Rich, Bangkok

The Rich is a newly launched high-rise project in the riverside district of Thonburi, located just 100m from BTS Wong Wen Yai. Thonburi is a fast-developing area of the city due to its highly central location.  Prices in the area are increasing rapidly as new infrastructure continues to be built in the area, such as the new Icon Siam shopping district just 2km away, built by the same firm the developed Bangkok’s largest and most exclusive mall – Siam Paragon.

Coming from a highly experienced developer with 13 previous projects in their portfolio, The Rich consists of a single T-shaped building of 23 floors, containing a total of 511 units apartments. Apartment options here include studios, which are all 25m2 in size, together with a selection of different one-bedroom apartments, starting from 34m2 and going up to 41m2.

The interior decor for The Rich will be a luxurious, modern English style and this is carried through from the available furniture packs through to the wide range of common areas available for the use of residents and guests.  These include a luxurious lobby and lounge area, the Richmond fitness centre and an on-site business centre.  The project is surrounded by landscaped gardens and there is an infinity edge swimming pool available.

Given the site’s close proximity to the city’s business district in Sathorn just on the other side of the Chan Phraya River – just two stops away on the BTS – prices at The Rich are excellent value-for-money.  Wong Wen Yai BTS station – just 100m from the building – is also set to become one of the most important transport hubs in Thonburi in future, with two more planned metro lines (SRT and MRT) also passing through here as per the city’s transport masterplan. These new lines will offer easier access to the airport and will lead to rapid continued growth in the area’s infrastructure.

The Rich is an ideal project for business commuters due to the development’s excellent location and is also a perfect choice for investors looking to buy in a central location inside the lower price bracket.  Upon completion, investors have the option of using the project’s on-site rental management company which can handle the entire letting process from start to finish, splitting rental revenues with owners.
