Project Details

ABOVE Sukhumvit 39 has its architectural designed exposed in a stately-look white and grey tone modern building, where each unit has its own clear view without the interference of other units in sight. There are only two units per floor, out of the total 41 units of the project. Specifically, the fifth floor has only one unit which is the penthouse, and the remaining space are the facilities including swimming pool, fitness and steam rooms. The parking has a 2-lane entrance and can accommodate up to 140 cars. In details, each unit will earn 3-4 parking lots, depending on the unit sizes. Though the sense of privacy is quite guaranteed due to the number of unit per floor, the aside Bio House office building could reduce the mentioned aspect, especially in the swimming pool area. Nevertheless, the project has built up 1.5 m.-high tree-fence to diminish this issue.

Location

 

3 Above Sukhumvit 39 - Location0.1 big-map-001

 

ABOVE Sukhumvit 39 is situated in Soi Sukhumvit 39 around 10-minute walk from BTS Phrom Phong on Sukhumvit Road. Soi Sukhumvit 39 is an alley with a great number of luxury and super-luxury residential projects; its proximity to the BTS station and lifestyle amenity such as The EM District, complement this location to be ideal for urban living. Furthermore, Soi Sukhumvit 39 is also linked to Asok Montri Road (Sukhumvit 21) and Thonglor Road (Sukhumvit 55) through shortcuts. It’s one of the most demanded locations for both residential and investment purposes, from both local and foreign consumers.

In terms of land prices, Soi Sukhumvit 39 is running out of undeveloped lands; numerous developers have recently debuted a lot of projects on this passage, and this scarcity is the factor which pushes the price of a parcel of land on this thoroughfare to be extremely high, not to mention the annual surge of land prices in CBD.

Analysis

Although the project has the starting price of 150,000 baht per square metre, which is lower than the standard of luxury condominiums in this area, the total usable area of a unit sums up to the starting price at 45 million baht. In details, the project’s units are distinctive to find a similar competitor in this area; however, renting a unit out here could give you around 200,000 baht per month. Furthermore, the prospective consumers are more likely to be foreigners who are in the high-end segment

Show More

Summary

The spotlight of distinction projects to the unit sizes of ABOVE Sukhumvit 49. The project is developed for high-end consumers who demand much living space. The luxury features comprise hardwood flooring, natural-stone walls, Japanese-style toilet, and smart home panel to control light brightness and air-con temperature on one screen. Residents can opt to include or exclude the furnishings, which will offset with the unit price. Besides these characteristics, another plus is the urban lifestyle settings of CBD Phrom Phong. There are luxury department stores, The EM District, sits at the entrance of Sukhumvit 39, and BTS Phrom Phong to take commuters to workplaces at ease. The 10-minute walk from the project to Sukhumvit main road might be a tiring distance; but the motorcycle taxi would alleviate this one drawback effectively. Though renting a unit out here is also a practical move, most consumers would rather be home buyers, especially those with deep pocket money.
