28 Chidlom’s Jewel-box facade a world-class exterior design
SC Asset has a claim on the last land plot possible for new development on Chidlom Road. They purchased it in a freehold term with a record price at THB 1.9 million per square wah, and takes this invaluable piece of land to raise up a top-notch luxury condominium 28 Chidlom. The project comprises two high-rise buildings The Tower and The Villa, standing apart where natural surroundings fulfills the in-between space on the ground floor. Elegant by the Jewel-box facade, a world-class design of glass-encased balconies which brings a breathtaking expanded city vista for residents, who would dwell in an airy 3-metre-high prestigious room. The location is priceless. The price would skyrocket. At the moment, start at THB 14 million with over half of the units already sold in the first phase, at the time of writing.

28 Chidlom is a masterpiece designed by four world-class firms. Kohn Pederson Fox (KPF), whose profile includes world’s tallest towers, whose goal is to give the best design to each project, collaborates with Design 103 International, an independent consulting firm of architects who provides a variety of professional service, to make 28 Chidlom an unmistakable landmark; the Jewel-box facade is, surely, those one-of-a-kind designs the world could be beautified with. The landscape is designed by TROP, an award-winning firm, who lays a lush garden in-between the two residential buildings and conserved the native trees to be part of the project’s landscape. Breathe, another acclaimed architect, focuses on the interior designs at 28 Chidlom.

With the Urban Oasis theme, a great nature would be incorporated in the landscape. The ground space between the two towers will lay a lush garden, filled with shady trees for residents to unwind and breathe lung-freshing air. The twelfth floor is a Therapeutic Wellness level, where you can indulge in a Heated Spa Pool, or get your sweats exuded in steams or saunas. The forty-fourth floor boasts a Sky Lap Pool, an oasis to swim with infinite skyline and picturesque cityscape, and Kid’s Pool, of course, for the joy of children. Fitness, on the same floor, is separated into two storeys; one is a Passive Fitness, presumably for yoga course, the other Active Fitness, fully-equiped room with exercise machines and gym equipment.

Not only land prices are the highest in Chidlom, so are the sense of urban living too. Chidlom is an upscale sphere, a connecting point between Siam and the start of Sukhumvit Road that stretches to the eastern region of Thailand. The area is composed of premium shopping malls Central Chidlom and Central Embassy, two paradises for various nationals who come to splurge on brand-name products in free time. Central Chidlom accentuates a more retro-feeling with its establishment in 1973, while Central Embassy, which came several decades after in mid-2014, epitomizes state-of-the-art developments, yet both are indispensable for Chidlom’s deluxe chemistry. Another crucial element is the public transit BTS Chidlom, one of the most populated stations besides Siam. It has a skywalk connecting to Central Chidlom on one side, while the other side leads toward Siam Station and connected to Central World in mid-way. The buzzing sound of people, of course, are here from the morning rushes to work, to the stream of them heading back home at the end of the day, but that really signifies the immensity of Chidlom.
Project Location
Lifestyle amenities around 28 Chidlom
28 Chidlom is located on Chidlom Road 250 metres from BTS Chidlom, a walkable distance. Chidlom Road is a four-lane one-way street, as if you come by a car, you need to enter the street from Phetchaburi Road. At its exit on Phloen Chit Road, which has a traffic light, you can only go straight toward Lang Suan Road or turn right toward Siam zone. The vicinity comprises several upmarket shopping complexes with Central Chidlom being the closest one, situated just 180 metres or around 3-minute walk away. A one stop down at Ploenchit Station is the landmark of its territory Central Embassy, while one stop down to Siam Station is a cluster of shopping venues, a favourite downtown in everyone’s mind for shopping, dining, and relaxing in downtime. Nearby renowned schools are Mater Dei, located 270 metres away on the other side of BTS Chidlom, and Chulalongkorn University, less than 10-minute drive away on Henri Dunant Road.

Lifestyle Amenities
Unlike modern department stores or new community malls which aim to be chic and stylish, Central Chidlom’s aura represents opulence and classic luxury, its heritage that has been carried through almost half a century. Eclectic range of brand-name shops, fine dining restaurants, coveted cosmetic products, supermarket and so forth all dwell here; the only absence is the cinema which you could find at other nearby upscale malls. Central Embassy’s cinemas charge fairly higher than the average, up to a thousand baht per seat, while Siam Paragon’s would charge a few hundred baht lower; still, it’s worth a try to have a grand moment once in a while. Besides high-end shopping complexes, a more casual hangout could be taken at The Portico Langsuan, a 5-storey coummunity mall located on Lang Suan Road, packed with restaurants, salons, beauty shops and retails. The foods are varied from Thai to Japanese, French, and Organic. In addition, there’s a laundry service operating on the basement floor, and a real-estate-agent firm 21 Century operating on the first floor. Besides, there’s a new community mall to be sat on Phetchaburi Road, a part of the mixed-use project Smile Square Bangkok which comprises a luxury hotel, high-rise condo, and grade-A office, however the construction is still underway.
“28 Chidlom’s starting price is expected to reach THB 450,000 baht per square metre within four years from now,” revealed the developer. Regarding the facts that 28 Chidlom is the last project on Chidlom Road and land price in CBD which increases annually by a decent number, the statement sounds plausible. In fact, over fifty per cent of the units have been taken at the time of writing. In detail, Studios, which has the lowest price at THB 11 million, are mostly reserved, presumably by investors who look to speculate through selling reservation agreements with higher prices. At the moment, there are still plenty of units left for investments, whether by short-term speculation or long-term rent, not to mention the other residential building conserved in the inventory. The challenge of speculations through selling reservation agreements is that you must resell it shortly afterward, normally within a couple days and one week for the maximum period, as otherwise you will be proceeded on to the contract payment, and eventually the full price to own the unit yourself. In general, a 1-Bedroom rent price is around 40,000-50,000 baht per month, however the number can be much higher due to the demand which rises higher against the supplies.

A definitely project of the year, 28 Chidlom is the most talked luxury condominium at the moment, having half of its units sold out in The Tower, one of the two high-rise residential buildings. Its magnificence, similar to other top-notch projects in the market, is the location, but 28 Chidlom’s is quite beyond the main stream; the project is built on the last land plot on Chidlom Road that SC Asset purchased with a record price, a position where BTS Chidlom is 250 metres away and a centric point of lifestyle sphere is within a short reach. To pick one of the project’s brilliance is inevitably the Jewel-box facade, a glass-encased-balcony design which extends outward to give residents a higher level of view observation; however, one could still opt for a classic outdoor balcony. To demonstrate, 28 Chidlom’s embellishments are the fruition of four world-class companies; Heated Spa Pool, Sky Lap Pool or the lush garden in-between the towers are those of their sophisticated works. 28 Chidlom is ideally for affluent consumers, who do not only appreciate the deisgns but all the elements and actual experience embodied in the project. For investors, the price would rise through time due to the rarity, “from the current number to over THB 450,000 baht per square metre within four years,” said the developer.
