BTS Bearing and in Sukhumvit 105 (Lasalle Road), the last zone where people can commute to the working hub in central Sukhumvit without making any transit. Condominiums around BTS Bearing are priced around THB 100,000 – 150,000 which is quite a high number; and with the budget under THB 2.5 million, you would only get a unit size around 21-22 square metre.
However, there’s one project in Sukhumvit 105 which offers an affordable price, Notting Hill Sukhumvit 105, a project from Origin Property Plc. With the starting price at THB 1.69 million, you could own a unit size 25.50 square metre, access to the 3-storey clubhouse comprising of 2 swimming pools, fitness with a trainer, Co-working space, and Iris Sports Club Corner – featuring Pool table, Football table, bar. There’re also Sky Garden on the rooftop of every building. It’s not common for customers to get all this with the price below THB 2 million.
At present, condominiums with the starting price below THB 3 million start to huddle around BTS Bearing.

Notting Hill Sukhumvit 105 is a product designed for commuters who usually travel on public transit lines. The project comprises 1,113 units and offers only 35% parking lots of that number. What is emphasised in this project is the facilities. There are a three-storey clubhouse standing apart from the residential building, two communal gardens on the total area of 3,500 square-metre: sloping British-style garden of 2,000 square-metre area, and rooftop garden of 1,500 square-metre area. The clubhouse also offers Lap Pool, Relax Pool, and Kids Pool. Inside, there’s a co-working space with 24-hour free Wi-Fi, and a fitness which comes with a professional instructor. Notting Hill Sukhumvit 105 is also a serviced-condo providing cleaning service with your extra payment. The elevators are scattered in each building with the ratio of 1 elevator per 98 residents, a flowing proportion.
The project comprises 6 building (2 missing in the model) and a separated 3-storey clubhouse near the main entrance.
Clubhouse model: lobby and co-working space on the first floor, fitness on the second floor, and swimming pool on the top floor.
Rooftop garden atop every building.
White and light gray are the main colours of the project. Residential units are facing toward east or west direction.
Project’s position
North
The image is the project’ actual site. The north is an undeveloped land and some 2-storey houses.
South
Facing toward the front area of the project which is Sukhumvit 105 (Lasalle Road).
Opposite of the project is a fresh market selling both raw and cooked foods. Behind that is an 8-storey building.
East
Adjacent to the 7-storey dormitory. Building B would have its view blocked by this building, while Building D and F’s view would be in a better position.
Next to the project is Tesco Lotus Express.
West
Next to a blue 5-storey building and some private houses.
Next to the project on one side is a cluster of 2-storey commercial buildings.
Master Plan
The master plan extends in a long length, consisting 3 pairs of building: Building A (top left) and B (bottom left), Building C and D, Building E and F, sequentially. Facilities are spread throughout the landscape, starting from clubhouse in the front area, expansive sloping greenery at the centre, and another swimming pool around Building F.
Floor Plan
Building A and B has an identical floor plan. There are 30 units per floor in average located in double corridor layout. There’re 2 elevators per building with an accommodation ratio 1:105 units.
Building C and D consists of larger units; therefore, the unit-per-floor is smaller, giving higher sense of privacy. The two buildings are still in reachable distance to the clubhouse. Meanwhile, Building E and F, located in the innermost zone, will cherish the highest sense of privacy, and have a swimming pool and saunas for men and women separately.
Unit Layout
Type A is the starting size featuring a deepened-layout and has the kitchen and bathroom separated from the living area. It’s suitable for tenants who like organised layout and the kitchen’s position next to the balcony which help preventing the cooking smell to enter the living area.
Type B is proportionate to Type A in size, but different in its widened-layout. The bedroom has an in-room bathroom, while the open kitchen connects to the living area, which is next to the balcony.
Type C is a 1-bedroom + 1 multipurpose room. The unit gives an open kitchen but you can add a partition to make it a closed one. The balcony is at the multipurpose room, the room that you can design it to be either a working room or another bedroom.
Type D is identical to Type C but offers more usable area.
Type E is the starting size of 2-bedroom units. It has the main bathroom at the centre near the living room. Each bedroom doesn’t have its own bathroom, but the master bedroom comes with a small balcony inside. Each zone is separated in an organised layout.
Type F is identical to Type E in layout and features but offers more usable area, plus a larger balcony in the master bedroom by double in size.
Type G is a 2-bedroom unit with the largest size. It has the greatest view from the master bedroom’s balcony. The view can be either the facilities in the front area or a clear view at the back of the project, depending on the unit’s location.

Condominiums with a proximity to BTS Bearing can be divided into two zones: condominiums in Sukhumvit 105 (Lasalle Road) and condominiums in Sukhumvit 107 (Bearing Road). However, Sukhumvit 105 holds an upper hand in terms of potential growth and existing public amenities, due to its geographical location in Bangkok, while Sukhumvit 107 is in Samut Prakan Province.
Condominiums around BTS Bearing.
Though being in Bangkok, Sukhumvit 105 (Lasalles Road) still has low public and lifestyle amenities in the surrounding as it’s the last stretch of road before entering Samut Prakan Province. To find modern developments, you need to drive a little further in Bang Na District; you could find several shopping complexes and there’s a mega-project Bangkok Mall, planned to sit around Bang Na Intersection, a landmark that would spread its prosperity to Sukhumvit 105 and 107 in terms of real estate and lifestyle developments. Another factor which can boost this area’s growth is the BTS Green Line’s extension (Bearing – Samut Prakan), which already took place with Samrong Station already operating nowadays.
Project’s location
Project’s coordinate 13.661697, 100.606707
Notting Hill Sukhumvit 105 is located in Sukhumvit 105 (Lasalle Road), around 400 metres from BTS Bearing. It takes around 5 to 6-minute walk to reach the station from the project. The street mostly comprises 4-storey commercial buildings, condominiums and serviced apartments. The population in this street is high, while on the sides are packed with lines of retails and fresh market, as if you come back to the project in the evening, the path isn’t too desolate to walk alone.
There’s motorcycle service point near the entrance of Sukhumvit 105. They charge you around 10-20 baht.
Besides the motorcycle taxi, there’re also red minibuses running down this street. You can hop in them and alight in front of the project. Just wave your hand.
A line of 4-storey commercial buildings in Sukhumvit 105 during the day. Different retails are operated on buildings’ first floor.
Next to the project is Tesco Lotus Express, a supermarket where you can buy all groceries needed. Next to this is a convenience store 7-Eleven, while across the road are Family Mart and Fresh Mart from CP. The fact of having multiple retails prevents people to crowd in one place.
Opposite of the project is a fresh market selling both cooked food and raw ingredients. The crowding of people in the even helps the area not to be desolate.

At the moment, it is quite rare to find a project priced below THB 2 million that’s located within 500-metre distance to a public transit. The proximity to BTS Bearing makes Notting Hill Sukhumvit 105 ideal for office workers, who have started working for 3-5 years and earn salary around THB 25,000 – 30,000. Without any debt owed, a person with salary around THB 20,000 is also possible to purchase a unit here.
To answer whether Notting Hill Sukhumvit 105 is worth buying or not, we have to benchmark with other projects. With the same price, you could find another project which is located next by a public transit; however, it will offset with the unit’s usable area, where Notting Hill Sukhumvit 105 would offer more. It’s a tradeoff between distance to the public transit and usable area, which depends on each person’s preference. Observe several nearby projects before making a purchase; a project far from a public transit could provide a fully-furnished feature and complete facilities, where the projects next by the public transit might lacking of.
In terms of rent price, condominium next to a public transit in this area has a minimum rent price at THB 10,000, but this is a unit size 21-22 square metre. With the same rent price, tenants could find a larger unit size at 25 square metre with fully-furnished feature in condominiums projects located in the smaller streets. In the eyes of property seekers, a fully-furnished unit would be more captivating to rent, despite some distant from the public transit.
| Unit Type | Size (Sq.m.) | Rent Price (Baht/Month) |
| 1-Bedroom Type A,B | 25.50 | 10,000 |
| 1-Bedroom Type C | 29.50 | 12,000 |
| 1-Bedroom Type D, E | 33 – 34 | 13,500 – 14,000 |
| 2-Bedroom Type F, G | 40.50 – 43.50 | 15,000 and above |

The project is developed for both inhabitants and investors, aiming to capture salary men and women whose incomes are in the medium level, and particularly those who find the benefits of using the public Skytrain on a daily basis. With the parking lot available only 30% of the total unit (1,000) and the heavy traffic on Suhumvit 105 (Lasalle Road), the project would be in favour for those who commute by the public transit rather than personal vehicle.
The project comes with various unit types in answering customers’ different lifestyles. The layout also comes in 2 formats, widened and deepened. And there’s a unit type for customers who need more than one bedroom but has limited budget, Type C – 1-bedroom + 1 multipurpose room. One factor which could affect customers’ buying decision is the location of each building in the master plan, which gives different distance to access the clubhouse in the front area. However, the furthermost zone from the clubhouse comes with an offset of great privacy. It depends on customers’ preference to choose where in the project to settle in, among the six residential buildings.
