Location
Analysis of Inner Sukhumvit
There are no surprises in why there are drastic increases of prices (approximately 5% per year) in the neighborhood of Sukhumvit. Due to the constant development that is packed with wide variety of conveniences that life have to offer; as well as the central of business and served as the center of traffic of Bangkok. This place also complements the old high- end residence, and also the popular hub for foreigners and expats. This makes Sukhumvit neighborhood in high demand for housing, and continuously develops and expand. These factors contribute to the relatively scarce of the neighborhood, and why the prices are rising steadily. The accessible transportation of the trains are also easy, therefore making the housing and location popular forever.
Analysis of Location

It is also at the same location, which the Sell Property is located currently. Transportations also are easily accessible, such as Sukhumvit, Asoke, New Petchaburi Road, and Thonglor. The BTS stations, such as Asoke and Prompong, as well as Sukhumvit MRT are accessible to the householder. Number one of Thailand shopping centers are also occupying the region such as M- District (of The Mall Group) and Terminal 21. The schools that are located at that place such as Satit and Srinakharinwirot University; and the hospital such as Simitivej hospitals are there as well. There are a lot of foods that are the highlight point near the location of the project; such as Thai, Chinese, Japanese, and fusion foods. Although the traffic in this area is quite packed, especially in rush hours; however for people who are familiar to the place will know the short-cuts that could avoid traffic.

Summary
The strongest point of this site is the location, in comparison to the same target group, Siamese Exclusive is one of the high- rise accommodation that stands near the beginning of the Soi; which is convenience for walking. On the other hand, when looking at the cost of the square meters, the high rise of the built- in furniture and the MOF styled room is a plus. This is because the project only require the buyers to pay the downstairs part only, and not the others; which is considered good for the buyers. Most importantly the quality of the products, styles, decoration, and the facilities that the project designed to respond the lifestyle of modern day people. The new technology are also comes in use, which ease many everyday struggles, for example, automatic car park. Since the unit of Siamese Exclusive is quite small for a high rise residence; and contains only 200 units; it is suitable for people who are looking for a place in the middle of the city with high sense of privacy.
