Plum Condo Ramkhamhaeng Station is a 33-storey condominium developed on the land over 5 rai where a car showroom used to occupy. The project is 120 m. away from Ramkhamhaeng Rd where the surroundings comprises 3- to 4-storey commercial buildings and single-houses. Therefore, the absence of high-rise architectures diminishes the issue of view-blocking for residents; still, there is an upcoming residence from the developer situated in the north of project that can be obtrusive if it’s a high-rise one. Plum Condo Ramkhamhaeng is also positioned 30 m. away from the nearby transmission tower, a safety distance for residents to live unworried.
Master Plan: the project’s entrance is on the top left upward; the landscape is surrounded with lush trees
7-32 FL comprise residential units: the creamy colour represents 1-bedroom 1-bathroom size 22.5-26 Sq.m.; brown represents 1-bedroom 1-bathroom size 39 Sq.m.; dark brown represents 2-bedroom 2-bathroom size 46 Sq.m.
