Analysis
The current unit price is at 350,000 baht/Sq.m. which is the highest in Charoen Nakhon district. However, this price can potentially fetch up to a higher value. Comparing to other projects in the proximity, their starting prices have been shifted up as well, but still at the maximum of 300,000 Baht/Sq.m. When THE ICON SIAM comes to completion, we can expect the price range to be extremely high. Thus, acquiring a unit early seems to be worthwhile for investment.
