Location
The areas along BTS line ranging from Lad Phrao Junction all the way down to Sukhumvit 70 are suitable for raising high-end and luxurious condominiums because they have strong potential for a high yield rate. According to Plus Property, Bangkok’s leading property agency, the condominiums which were established 3-4 years ago around BTS Ari station right now have experienced an over 80% increase in the selling price, which can be monetized as Bt 150,000/sq.m. Furthermore those currently under development are expectedly up for sale for a price starting over Bt 200,000/sq.m. when they are brought to the completion.
One of the reasons speculated to be the major account for that course is a low penetration rate of new entrants into this area, estimated merely 1 new condo project a year whilst the demand is increasingly substantial, giving rise to the dominant power over the pricing on the developer’s end. Another reason most of us are very much familiar with is that this is one of those so-called commercial districts, filled with mega corps’ headquarters, domestic and multi-national businesses’ head offices, ministries, and so on. In the area around BTS Ari station, there are a number of government offices to be found including Ministry of Finance, Revenue Department, Royal Thai Army, Government Savings Bank, Export-Import Bank of Thailand, Kasikorn Bank, SME Bank, IMB Corporation, and the others located within Shinawatra Tower 1.
The majority of home buyers tend to buy a home here because they want to get to work without a morning rush. They take transit-oriented condos as their highly selective residences on the list because of the convenient access to the urban rapid transit, which potentially helps them save time and cost without inconvenience of ground transportation. But, ground roads around here can be put as quite convenient with several exits on to other major roads at Victory Monument, one of the main points of road network. It takes to ride BTS for 2 stations from the condo to Victory Monument. Located between BTS Ari and BTS Sanam Pao is an on-ramp of the expressway towards Dao Khanong and Bangna paralleled by Vibhavadee road, which also leads off to Ladprao road and Don Mueng.
Getting There
Personal Vehicle
If taking Phahonyothin road from Victory Monument circle to Soi Phahonyothin 5, the condo is approximately 2km away.
But if you come by BTS, your distance with the condo will be shortened to approximately 750 metres as the condo is located deep on Soi Aree 2.
Public Transit: BTS
A narrow street adjacent the exit of BTS Ari station. The street located next to The Revenue Department and lined with a bunch of street restaurants.
You will exit onto Soi Aree 1. From there, head west past Noble Lite, The Vertical Aree, and Hiso Sushi, until reaching a T-junction with a north split onto Soi Aree 6. Walk north then you will find FyNN Aree located on the first block on your right, which is Soi Aree 2.

Nearby Amenities
Casa Lapin: A chic and trending café
Tokyo Bike: A classic bike shop selling bikes and related parts & spares.
Fat Bird: An Italian restaurant
Aree Garden: An outdoor space centrally occupied with music live venues and restaurants (e.q. HOBs) setting out outdoor seating enveloped by lush plants and outside chandelier.
A low-rise condominium contains professionally designed corner units meticulously presented at the behest of those in search of a unit in which they feel most privileged and able to live exclusively and quietly. The additional highlight is the nearby hangout places out of mainstream guaranteeing quality experience worth a lifetime memory. Because the land around Ari station is private property, it gets us no clue of what the future will lead this zone to. In spite of the absence of clear directional changes, the developers still took interest and belief in prospective investment potential, allowing them to continually observe the potential spots and develop them into condominiums we all came to see with our own eyes.
Analysis
As for the record, the condos within this area have experienced an 80% increase in the selling price over the past 4 years. The average selling price was estimated to be Bt 150,000/sq.m. before but now it has gone up to approximately Bt 200,000/sq.m. Though FyNN Aree was initially put up for sale for Bt 130,000/sq.m. Notwithstanding that, the price will be driven up once Bangsue station is brought to the completion, making a connection with Airport Link Phayathai station which is situated 3 stations from BTS Ari to the south.
