Location
Project’s location and surroundings
In spite of being a highly-populated area, there is still a low number of property developments around BTS Saphan Khwai; this fact resulted in a great feedback on the debut of the project, where most attended consumers are locals in the proximity, as well as investors whose interests, possibly, shifted from the high-priced and scarce condominiums in the CBD Sathorn, Silom and Phrom Phong. Furthermore, there are upcoming development plans from the government, including BTS Green Line extension, Pradipat Road’s expansion from 4 to 8 lanes, and Bang Sue Grand Interchange Station (one stop away from MRT Kamphaengphet) which would embrace up to 4 mass transit routes when completed. These government projects are the factor that can attract a lot of developments and push this area around BTS Saphan Khwai to grow rapidly; to the point where we can call this domain as the NEW CBD.
Project’s location
map
The project is located on Phaholyothin Road, 150 metre from BTS Saphan Khwai and 500 metres from MRT Kampaeng Phet. Sirat Expressway is also close by, a time-saving route that could take you to Rama IX, Rama IV, Silom or even the suburbs. The prominent place around this enclave is definitely the Chatuchak Park, which is just a part of the gigantic greenery domain. Nearby, you can also find Queen Sirikit Park, Wachirabenchatat Park (Suan Rot Fai) where people come to ride a bike, take pictures, and explore the Bangkok Butterfly Garden and Insectarium. Ideo Phaholyothin – Chatuchak’s surroundings also comprises a lot of street eateries, as well as convenient stores where you could find along Phaholyothin Road. For grocery shopping, the closest hypermarket is Big C, situated around 400 metres away on the opposite side. Besides, there’s AQUA community mall located near Pradiphat Road Junction, offering numerous restaurants, desserts, healthy foods, and fitness. In further areas, there are Central Lardprao department store (at MRT Phahon Yothin), and La Villa, another community mall sitting right at BTS Ari, a one-stop ride away.

Analysis
The average rent price of condominiums in this area is around 500-600 baht per square metre, which equals to 5-7% annual yield rate. The most demanded unit type would be 1-bedroom unit with the size of 30 square metre, which would give you around 17,000-18,000 baht per month. The 2-bedroom unit is as well a feasible type to rent out, which could give you 35,000 baht per square metre. In terms of price growth, Ideo Phaholyothin – Chatuchak unit values can surge in time; in the past five years, condominiums’ price in this area leap from 80,000 baht to 150,000-160,000 baht already, equivalent to 8% price growth per annum. Together with being a red area in the city plan, a commercial-purpose region with allowance of high-rise building constructions, the investment here is very ideal.

Summary
Ideo Phaholyothin – Chatuchak would be an ideal condominium for urbanites who can capitalise on BTS Saphan Khwai which is just 150 metres away. The starting price might be a concerning number for some but considering the automated parking, myriad facilities, and fully-furnished feature, the price becomes more justifiable. If you don’t like the furnishings, you can also opt to exclude any of them for discounts. Though the project is located in a highly-populated area, the serenity in the residence would be much differed; each floor has 18 rooms at maximum, the number that can give you a fair sense of privacy. The project is considered as a rare item around BTS Saphan Khwai, and can potentially close the deal within a short period of time.
