Sansiri found a success unmatched by any prior projects it had ever done along its chronological timeline until forming a joint venture with BTS Group Holding for mutual interest and with this new partner was making a step further. After they jointly launched The Line Jatujak-Mochi of which all units ran out in one day domestically and internationally, in due course they sequentially introduced The Line condo named The Line Sukhumvit 71 on Soi Pridi Banomyong 3, which is only 400 metre by foot from BTS Phra Khanong. The project took more than 2BB to come into completion and now is put up for sale.

The area of Phra Khanong experienced a rapid growth and urbanization in the last 4-5 years thanks to the neighboring areas of Thong-lo and Ekkamai. It also owed this blessing to the good road network around it, the availability of the urban mass transit (BTS Phra Khanong station available nearby), as well as various lifestyle amenities for a wide range of tastes and interests of all ages and genders that have brought this zone into life. Rare and ardently longing hangout place are set along the business zone to cater to young and working-class people. Many overseas investors praised this area highly and put it on the top of their mind in such a way that this area is specifically known by Hongkongers in another name called Thailand’s SoHo after Hong Kong’s most famous entertainment district. Right now the average land price has appreciated to an estimate of Bt 200,000 – 250,000/square wah.
The Line Sukhumvit 71 is fortunately to be contending with the low number of rivals present in this locale so the competition it’s facing is not as fierce and intense as in the area around BTS Onnut. By the way, another condo by same developer BTS Sansiri Holding within this locale is Wyne By Sansiri, ready to move in and located near the 3 ways on Soi Sukhumvit 71.
Getting There
Within 400-m distance of BTS Phra Khanong, it gives easy accesses to outdoor prestigious amenities ranging from this location to the other. Also you can make use of short routes—by entering Soi Pridi Banomyong 31, the nearest entrance from The Line Sukhumvit 71 into the street network—as to escape unwanted rush hour traffic and get onto Phra Khanong, Ekkamai and Thong-lo roads without a hitch and shortly. Furthermore, convenient accesses to Khlong Ton, Phetchaburi road as well as Sukhumvit Expy 62 (located 4.7 km away) come straight through you. Another luck is on your side as Suwannaphum Airport is only 20 minutes from the condo.
– BTS Take BTS from your nearest station and get off at BTS Phra Khanong station through Exit 3. Then you can either take Soi Pridi Banomyong 3, which is located adjacent to Phra Khanong Post Office, or Soi Sukhumvit 71 which is just the next block to Soi Pridi Banomyong 3 and located adjacent W-District. By estimate, the condo is 400 m from the BTS station.
– Personal Vehicle
Option 1: Drive along Sukhumvit main road for Soi Pridi Banomyong 3 or Soi Sukhumvit 71.
Option 2: If you are on Soi Sukhumvit 55, you can take an alley called Soi Thong-lo to go to Soi Sukhumvit 71. This route is a long straight way of three connecting alleys, including Soi Thong-lo 10 split from Sukhumvit 55, Soi Ekkamai 12 in the middle, and Soi Pridi Banomyong 31 with an exit onto Soi Sukhumvit 71. After getting out of Soi Pridi Banomyong 31 onto Soi Sukhumvit 71, head south. And the condo is located on the right along the reversed lane.
Option 3: Drive along Phetchaburi road for Khlong Ton. As soon as arriving at the intersection, taking the split onto Sukhumvit 71 alley. Going southward along the road until Soi Pridi Banomyong 3 is on the right, so is the condo.
Lifestyle Amenities
Several decades backward, there weren’t as many hypermarkets and shopping centres in the area of Phra Khanong as are there today but still it made quite a happening place for being a central point of fashion and clothing shops selling both readymade and made-by-order outfits. Being a hub of shops owned and run by new-face designers fresh out of school, this area also boasted a tremendous supply of good cloth-making equipment general people and dressmakers all needed for making their own clothes and clothes for sale. In this area, Phra Khanong theatre was found along with an entertainment zone for the people of that generation. That’s basically the story told. But that old-fashion theme didn’t last long but soon went away and got replaced by the things our generation came to knowledge. With changes streamlining the area over time, Phra Khanong market that used to be the major delight of the area has been buried as the forgotten past of Gen B. The current generation people are now obsessed with community malls, fine-dining restaurants and contemporary and fashionable hangout places. At the state of affairs, this area has new highlights featuring Taisin Square, a major source of Japanese cuisine, and more importantly, W-District, a commercial complex featuring art and lifestyle as the most integral part, established by Woraluk Property and situated by the entrance to Soi Sukhumvit 71. Other amenities found in neighboring districts of Ekkamai, Phrom Phong and Thong Lo are conveniently accessible via BTS. On Soi Pridi Banomyong 3, there are convenience stores like 7-11, Max Value and restaurants catering to the population within close range. Also there is a night market within easy walking.

Expected Returns
Sukhumvit 71 is an alley split from Sukhumvit main road and stretching across Phra Khanong area which is a prosperously atmospheric square with a multitude of shops, community malls, schools, hospitals, supermarkets, commercial and professional buildings in relation to an all-inclusive array of resident’s lifestyles and demographics. The street is found near a public transit (BTS) and surrounded by convenient roads cut throughout. As a result, the area along Sukhumvit 71 is ranked one of the premier locations in great request by the developers planning on developing the residences that will attract overseas investors and buyers who are in search of a prospective and manageable investment. In addition, the average rental price of condos across this area falls in the price range of Bt 17,000 – 20,000 per month for each 1-bedroom unit. Hence, it’s highly positive that The LINE Sukhumvit 71 will be remembered on top of their mind.
