Analysis
The project holds a significant advantage for the potential growth of rent price, due to the location that’s considered to be the yolk of Rama IX and the nearby MRT Phra Ram 9 that’s jsut 300 metres away. In general, the average rent price of a condominium unit size 27-28 Sq.m., in Rama IX area, ranges at 16,000-17,000 Baht/Month. However, with some upcoming mega projects and the ongoing progress of MRT Orange Line, owning units here will be worthwhile for eaither leasing them out, or long-run speculations, if you owned a spare money about 4 MB in the account.
