Amongst the high-demand products in real-estate industry, luxury single-home is surely one which runs in low volume whilst capturing mostly real-demand from the home-buyer consumers. To be exact, there are only 97 units of luxury single-homes in the central city area, and 60% of them have been accommodated already. However, D’Well Grand Asset Co., Ltd., a civic-conscience developer who aims to create quality architecture and connects the soul of residents with their neighborhoods, has launched ARNA Ekkamai, another luxury single-home project to pile up the insufficient supply of the market. The project debuted with the starting price of 28.9 million baht, and one could expect every single feature that evolves around the core of luxury.

Project Details

ARNA Ekamai emphasises on the concept of “Privacy & Greenery,” composing only 11 units that sit in the verdant environment, exposing nature to be in touch with every soul of this neighborhood. The architectural design displays the façade which can project sunlight into different shades and create dimensional moods throughout the day; the technique is so-called “cosmic applied.” In addition, the second storey offers a broad recreation space of over 10-metre width, a boundary where family members can feel a full spectrum of natural wind, which flow throughout the unit via the aluminum full-height doors on the balcony.

Location

 

ARNA Ekamai is located in-between Sukhumvit 65 and Sukhumvit 71 Road, the intersection-passage between Pridi Banomyong and Chaiyaphruke Alley. Besides the access to Sukhumvit 71 Road, residents here can reach Sukhumvit 63 (Ekkamai Road) via Ekkamai 10 Alley too.

As Sukhumvit 55 (Thonglor Road) is running out of undeveloped lands, developers shift their prospective sites to those areas on nearby roads, and create number of residential supplies in the proximity of the next two stations, BTS Ekkamai and BTS Phra Khanong.

In general, Sukhumvit 63 is a renowned lifestyle thoroughfare, while Sukhumvit 71 holds more serene atmosphere. However, both passage are the linkages between Sukhumvit Road and Phetchaburi Road; and to own a luxury single-house in the circumference of Bangkok’s CBD is a rare choice one could find, as a matter of fact.

 

ARNA Ekamai is reachable by 4 roads including Sukhumvit 55, Sukhumvit 63, Sukhumvit 65 and Sukhumvit 71

Analysis

ARNA Ekamai has the advantage free-hold ownership, which translates to an acquiring of lands on this most-wanted area that will generate a priceless resale value in the future. Comparing to condominiums, you will also earn a larger portion of land in spite of the same-size-unit starting price. In addition, by looking at the price-per-square-metre value, ARNA Ekamai’s starting price is equal to just 76,000 baht; the equal usable-area units in the luxury condominium are normally priced up to 150,000 baht per square metre.
