  • 26 January 2016

Since the previous announcement of the joint venture and capital between Sansiri and BTS Group Holdings that caused a ruckus among property developers and excited the entire industry, the second wave has come by way of this pair of prime developers officially launching the latest project named The Line Jatujak Mochit splurging over 6BB in total to have it all set. The condo is beautifully and perfectly designed under their concept of “Location is Everything” having the proximity of 350 metre distance to both BTS Mo Chit station and MRT Jatujak station. The add-on benefit is the upcoming extension of the skywalk interconnecting BTS and the condo for easy passage. The condo is also enormously benefitted from being near the grand Jatujak park encompassing over 700 rais of greenery, which shall help reinvigorate the minds and bodies of the residents to their best forms.

Apart from all the add-on specialties, whether it’s an extended skywalk of BTS station or on-site convenience store with the opening and closing hours as the station, the condo kindly offers the commanding and majestic overhead views together with the units, ranked in terms of direction from most favourable to indifferent as follows:

North View: Looking over Jatujak Park and BTS Mo Chit station

West View: Beholding an expansive view of Phahonyothing road together with Jatujak Park

East View: Sightseeing the ground parking of TMB Headquarter (in upcoming years there will be a project taken place instead).

South View: A 14-storey BTS head office obstructing the view.

Location

Jatujak-Mo Chit area is practically a commercial district or at least resembles one very much. The area is highly bustling with tremendous foot traffic flowing in and out on a minute-by-minute basis as a result of being a focal point adjoining two urban transit lines carrying mass passengers with them, who come here for many famous shopping centres and commercial and office buildings and headquarters. It’s expected to get overpopulated around here when the extended part of the green line from Mo-chit to Saphan Mai to Khu Khot comes into play in a few years ahead.

Within this locale, there found many corporate headquarters including TMB, BTS and PTT lining along Phahonyothin road and the public transit line. Additionally, the reputed conveniences are within reach to grab good food and buy stuff including Central Plaza Ladprao and Union Mall located opposite each other around Ladprao Junction. By assuming this area has a prospective investment opportunity, the major developers as Sansiri and BTS Group Holdings, agreed with each other to launch a jointly-developed project named The Line Jatujak-Mochit condominium taking the plunge to tap onto the unproved demand. The condo scores even more for being within range of Don Mueng Airport, and more importantly the upcoming expansion of the skywalk to directly interconnect the condo and BTS station.

Summary

The Line Jatujak-Mochit is widely acclaimed for being the prime condominium with an exceptional location within 350 metre distance to all available transit lines including both BTS and MRT. The privilege and exclusiveness of the residents are heightened with the skywalk soon expanded from BTS Mo Chit to the condo for easier access. Within the condo, there is an on-site convenience store for the residents to go shopping at their convenience. The condo received high demand for being within this commercial district where a number of professional buildings and headquarters and educational institutes are densely clustered. Coupled with the per-square-metre price not so high (comparing with the roadfront or public-transit-front condos), the demand is overwhelming. Though, it shows a positive sign that the price will soon skyrocket once the extended green line come to completion.
