Low-rise Activity Center :

http://www.skyscrapercity.com/photopost/data/500/1310dsc03843.jpg

Hey it's update day again! I always look forward to that. :angel1:

So the low rise thing is an activity centre.. first I thought it would be a building mainly for parking.

looks like the low rise part is far apart from the main building.

The Low-rise will contain a swimming pool, other than the one on the 31st floor., and also a Tennis and Squarz' Courts.......

31st floor, that's very high for a swimming pool. They could almost splash water on the people in the Mayfair Marriott swimming pool :)

Nexus launches two projects

Third Urbana condo, Japanese joint venture

Somporn Thapanachai

Nexus Property Consultants has launched two new upscale condominium projects worth 2.2 billion baht in Sathon and Sukhumvit areas.

The two-billion-baht Urbana Sathorn, housing 136 condominium units and 72 serviced apartments, is being developed by Urbana Estate Co, a subsidiary of Siamphan Enterprise Co, which is also developing Urbana Langsuan and Urbana Sukhumvit 15.

Nexus managing director Apisit Limlomwongse said the quick sales of the first two Urbana projects had encouraged the developer to initiate a third one and establish a new company, Urbana Estate, with 500 million baht in registered capital, to manage the project.

The construction of the 36-storey building on 2.5 rai of freehold land will start next week and is expected to finish in early 2006, but Mr Apisit hopes to close sales within six months.

He said prices were reasonable, starting at 68,500 baht per square metre or 4.45 million baht for the smallest unit at 65 sq m, or 12 million baht for the 170 sq m units. The project also will boast an outstanding sports complex with a large swimming pool, basketball, squash and badminton courts.

Nexus is also marketing The Peaks, a 200-million-baht project in Sukhumvit Soi 15 that is being developed by New Daily Property Asset Co, a joint venture between a Thai landlord, Unico Property Management Co, and the Japanese architectural firm Siam Sokei.

Siam Sokei earlier developed the Twin Peaks condominium in Sukhumvit Soi 17 for Japanese expatriates in Thailand.Construction of The Peaks is scheduled to be completed by December.

Yasuo Miyazaki, managing director of New Daily Property Asset, said the firm planned to develop more upscale condominiums in the central business district as well as housing estates on the outskirts of Bangkok and Chiang Mai.

WOW, Thats Stunning news Kiku!!!......I can not imagine how Bangkok skyline is going to be even denser in these next 3-4 years........Fingers cross.......:guns1:

i hope that this tower will have neon lights on the top at each two sides (empire tower) . That would look cool neon wave shape ....yummy :D

Note : Only one crain remaining and the top crown-roof is processing very well and seems like it gonna be finished soon. But the facade still undergoing.


http://www.skyscrapercity.com/photopost/data/500/1310DSC05151.JPG

seems like its almost done. good. and pictures of the surrounding area looks great too.

Yep, thats why it's so expensive to live in that area...:)

It looks so tall in the pic. The top crown came out very nicely

good to see this building make the skyline around that area to be more attractive but..i think they should work the facade more quickly ....

I dont think the facade would be that interesting since it will be the mix between window and painted concrete, but sure it will come out nicely..:)

May 3, 2004 :

http://www.skyscrapercity.com/photopost/data/500/1310DSC05387.JPG

I liked the update piccies extra much this time because of the new angles and colors.. showing some details I hadn't seen before. :cool:

U have new camera Chad?

nah...same old partly-broke camera.....sometimes when I took a pic, the files just came out error...

like the otherday, I took some pics of the JB Place with the big new developer sign on it and the site of the Baan Siri 31.....and those files just broke....:(

Maybe the little cd burner in it is vacating itself??

It takes lots of time to finish the top!! :)

have they installing some exterior-panel roof?

have they installing some exterior-panel roof?


On the side yes, but on the top they are still working on it. I'm quite sure that it's pretty complicated work up there...

I thought thee same thing when I looked at it Pas :D
I think its because of the hole near the top.

very nice.. know what it's remind me of? Thai Wah 2.. yeh I think it's a mini Thai Wah 2. :D

it doesn't really stand out in that area. looks so small among other giants:)


True, but comparing....it's pretty tall it's self lah...:D

i agree with your point Kiku... this area is very tall!! Must be because most of buildings are on leasing land contract, so have less time to return on investment... but 39 stoey is still in the top 5, no?

If it standed out of those giant crowds,I'm sure it would look tall.

But again, it depends on where u look from lah...comaparing to the pic below, it does dominated so well !!

Color comparison :

just perfect ;)

Wondering when they will bring the roof-supported colums in, I'm very excited about that part..:okay:

Hopefully they'll paint it just like in the rendering. I like that mix of subtle colors... well at least it's better than white.

But there's a wwhite part on the upper part lah...:)

It's partly white in the rendering also, but I hope it will be mixed with other colors ;)

Color comparison :

http://www.skyscrapercity.com/photopost/data/500/1310oct25_01_1.jpg


Yeh, as seen from the render the tower will be white with green window...but the lower part will be sort of brownie orange...:)

I do like it too.

It is a good colour comparison.

The green windows will really make the white part looks cooler, Contemporary style can't live without that..:okay:

what,....u expected plastic?

I probably understand what Aquamadoor wanted to say,
but.... yeh exactly what you expected?? 55555

I like the conversation of you both. :)

no u dont....:D

ugh concrete...
I agree that more visible glass and steel would have been nice.
It's such a beautiful area so looking at all that white and grey concrete... hmm, it doesn't do the area justice :bash:

A lot of these buildings were designed a long time ago.
Im sure if a newly designed high rise went up in lang suan it would be amazing.

I think Langsuan from now will be quite hard to bring one tall up due to limited land plot and complicated regullartion law....:bash:

two canteens have been evicted in Langsuan, closed to Mayfair Mariott Serviced apartment and on the back of Baan Sansiri condo. Hope it will rise up there...

I think Langsuan from now will be quite hard to bring one tall up due to limited land plot and complicated regullartion law....:bash:

luckely that law was not put on before or else we would have less highrises around all over Bangkok and probably only have 4 or 5 very tall ones in lets say sukhumvit , that would be a boring skyline over Bangkok

two canteens have been evicted in Langsuan, closed to Mayfair Mariott Serviced apartment and on the back of Baan Sansiri condo. Hope it will rise up there...

Hoping at my best that skyscrapers will rise there..:)

I think there is only room for one big skyscraper in that new empty slot between "Marriott Mayfair Serviced Apartments" and "Grand Langsuan Condos". The only bad thing is that the view from the condos on the side of the building will be blocked by the new skyscraper building. I just got a short tour of some "for sale" condos in Langsuanville (the tall sister building right next to the tall Grand Langsuan) and those condos views are completely blocked by Langsuanville :eek2:

I know, I visited the Regent Royal Place II once, 3 towers, The Millennia, Mayfair and Grand Langsuan fully blocked the view of that unit...:bash:

I just found out that Urbana LangSuan is owned by the Crown Property Bureau. Therefore, if you buy a condo in that cool building you only get a 25 year leasehold! Not ownership :eek:
After 25 years you are kicked out!!

No. Actually Urbana Langsuan is "Freehold" land, being developed by Siam Phan Property in associated with Nexus Property Development under license of Cushman and Wakefeild Australia, therefor it's one of not maany piece of asset in the area which is "NOT" own by the Crown Property Bureau.

again, normally...The contract with The Crown Property Bureau agreed up to 30 years with the extension agreement that can be sign after the old contract has expired, non of the "kick out" propertion ever happen except ones partly-ownership breaks the contract-agreement rule.

Thanks for the explanation Chad. :)

Anyway, I would prefer freehold title to the condo with no other agreements. On that same soi, Baan Navarang, Langsuanville and Grand Langsuan are freehold with no lease agreements if you buy :righton:

Most leasehold assets aare in Ratchadamri area, Regent Royal place I, II and III. Ratchadamri manssion, Baan Somthavil and Baan Sansiri area all leasehold properties...:)

looks gorgeous already

hey, i wanna move there! i wonder if people will stop renting those over-expensive serviced apartment on Langsuan (Mayfair Mariott, Center Point, and Natural Ville and many more...) to move to Urbana Langsuan. i like it in white, it goes well with Center Point, will they keep it like that?

Yes, just like in the rendering.....Its funny to think that Centre Point Langsuan used to be "pink"...:D, some what
Barbie Point Langsuan"...:D

hey, i wanna move there! i wonder if people will stop renting those over-expensive serviced apartment on Langsuan (Mayfair Mariott, Center Point, and Natural Ville and many more...) to move to Urbana Langsuan. i like it in white, it goes well with Center Point, will they keep it like that?

I think Urbana Langsuan will also be a serviced apartment (with some leasehold condos too) just like Ascott Sathorn....

the Urbana Langsuan serviced apartments will probably be even more expensive than Mayfair Marriott, Center Point Langsuan, Natural Ville and CapeHouse :) but LOTS of customers now at all buildings so maybe ALL will have healthy occupancy rates....Even Somerset Suwan on nearby Soi Tonson is busy...and smaller serviced apts like Langsuan Balcony and Boons Residence Langsuan and lower cost Embassy Place around the corner on Ploenchit Rd are busy....

At night all these places are very busy so business must be good....Langsuan is a favorite location for foreign business people and even some higher end tourists who stay alittle longer (and dont want to stay in a normal smaller hotel room).

Also lots of foreign (I think from cheaper cost Eastern European countries from their languages) fashion models (for the catwalk shows in Bangkok) stay at Unico House Langsuan and Langsuan serviced apartments too :nuts: some are very tall and scary looking like from the hospital :uh: but they must be popular to get a job overseas.

the models that stay around langsuan are quite hot.
there is a french school in the area as well.

true, many people live around there (i do). But what i mean is that compared to the price people bought Urbana Langsuan (5.2 million bath for 2-bed 90 m2), the rent there should not exceed 45,000 baht for a generous 8 - 10% annual yield include 10% vacancy (average in tht area). And what i say is that in Langsuan Ville, Natural Ville or Center Point, you have to pay not less than 70,000 for a 2-bed 90 m2!

(AND I LOVE THE MODEL WALKING ON LANGSUAN, YOU CAN SEE THEM AT 7-ELEVEN NEAR UNICO TOWER AT VENING TIME, DO NOT KNOW WHY..)

the project actually have some serviced apartment units which will create competition between investors (people bought for rent) and serviced apartment units. Let see how they will manage it, but this building is REALLY NICE!

People renting privately owned condos usually rent for longer term...like 1 year or 2 years or even more....owners of privately owned condos are usually not interested in shorter term leases (too much hassle).....also rent is usually ONLY for the condo, not utilities or maid services, UBC TV charges, ADSL charges, etc. which the renter arranges and pays himself.

By contrast, serviced apartments are usually only rented for days, weeks or sometimes a few months only (and costs more per month, but also provides more hotel-like all inclusive services for shorter stay people who are not settling into more permanent life in BKK). Usually people renting serviced apartments want shorter terms of stay, but also want all conveniences provided to concentrate on their business projects etc. and then they leave. Turnover of new customers is regular.

These are two different markets, but both are VERY healthy in Langsuan area. (which is not that big and new buildings are now getting a bit rare on this Soi) ..even with added rooms of Urbana Langsuan coming soon, I think all buildings (private condos and serviced apartments) in Langsuan will do very well :)

Yes, I see those models too at 7-11, I talked to one in my very broken high school German and also English, and she was only eating some crackers and diet coke for dinner!! also they smoke ALOT,...she was from Bratislava, Slovakia (little Prathet formerly attached to Czech Rep) :cheers:

yep, a very healthy soi.. but i still believe that in the near future (i speak about inner city of Bangkok generally), those Grade A condo wil give a hard time for serviced apartments. Would be interesting to know the average lenght of stay for customer in serviced apartment...

Yeah, I agree, serviced apartments, in Bangkok generally, will be much more competitive in near future when projects finish :)

but quality buildings/units in super centrally located projects (like in Soi Langsuan and Soi Saladaeng) will not suffer in my opinion...demand much greater than supply in these super central locations :)

on the other hand, lower grade buildings (and older buildings who dont keep up maintenance) in less central areas will suffer disproportionately greater losses because of the greater competition.....bottom line is that the customer wins!! :)

Now it look very nice. I really falling in love in this building. it is uncomparable to other serviced apartment nearby

Ofcouse lah.....since it's newer...:D

Chad or anybody , have you ever heard about Urbana Sathorn?
Since yesterday I had walked pass sathorn road and saw the construction site which I thought it would be Urbana Sathorn.I saw the model too , it was 35+ storey , wow what's a nice tower.

Oh I found it. It's in the second page and had been talked longtime ago.

heheh!! So How is the construction going on?

heheh!! So How is the construction going on?

I presume that you are asking me. :)

I think they are doing on the foundation work.

Yeah, Urbana Sathorn will be a sweet looking tower, like they all (well most of them anyway) are around Sathorn.

looking good.. nice and clean

its actually pretty thin

It's very thin, but long.

i have a question

are there gonna be glasses installing on the right side of the building? i'm talking about the right concrete part of the building with tiny window holes.... there are glasses in stalled in the rendering .. but since the concrete part already has tiny windows.. i'm not sure if they're gonna install it...

thank you in advance na kub

Whats?, where? :?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v417/speedracer7/urbana.jpg

ohhh!!! i'm soo sorry .. lol..wow my eyes played some weird tricks on me lately..

In Skyscrapercity we call that "cocky eyes"...:D

i wonder how it gonna look like when 30 year leasehold period pass

The re-sign action will actually takes around 5 years before the lease end and will be intergrated for another period of time pending on residents and the co-owners.

Aha.. one of the few buildings that looks better than the rendering

i wanna rent one unit there...

nice looking bldg. It blends well with the LangSuan skyline.

Totally, the scale is quite large but surprisingly not out-of-place at all.

i did not know they construct something there (at the bottom of your piucture). seems to be around Chitlon station, does not it?

"Royal Ratchadamri"

oh, i see... thanks :)
