Location

 

Kraam Sukhumvit 26

Soi Sukhumvit 26 seems like a tree tunnel where an array of trees stand on both side of the road

The project is situated in Sukhumvit 26 Alley, also known as “Soi Ari,” the street that seems like a tree tunnel, where the trees aside the road have been preserved since the past. Here, you would find the composition of premium restaurants, retails, department stores, hotels and residences; as it’s the area where many aspired to live in, not many land plots are left for more project developments. Even though this location appears to include many lifestyle aspects, however, the atmosphere remains quite calm and tranquil. For the land price matters, the recent appraisal revealed the price of lands in this alley at 240,000 Baht/Sq.w.; whereas the actual price in the market would be higher by at least 20-30%.

Summary

Inner-Sukhumvit is the melting pot of luxury condominiums, developed to serve high-end consumers who aspire the dream urban lifestyle. This year, NYE Estate has launched Kraam Sukhumvit 26, a super-luxury 29-storey condominium, which enlivens the vibrancy of Sukhumvit 26 once again after a long period of no project developments.

Kraam Sukhumvit 26 comes with the two emphases on functional designs and natural integration. To illustrate, aside from the tree-tunnel alley of Sukhumvit 26, the developer has reserved the 100-year Barbados Pride Tree to be part of the landscape, which provides a shady atmosphere in the greenery area for residents to unwind. The project also utilised Full Height Window and Triple Glazed Window, which help to bring great amount of natural lights into the building, and reduce the heat transmitted, at the same time.

There are more admirable offerings such as the number of unit per floor at less than 10 rooms to deliver high sense of privacy, and the parking that can accommodate 140% cars of residential units. All in all, the project has a capability to make some records on the presales date due to the high residential demands in this golden location; meanwhile, a lot of buyers and investors have already come to inspect the show units at the sale gallery.
