Middle Sukhumvit is considered to be one of the hugely popular housing areas many buyers want to have their hands on for both occupying and investment. The part of the street is heavily furnished with reputed attractions and amenities here and there. Though this area is utterly short of land plots for developing residences, causing a huge leap on a price per each square metre. Though it should’ve been difficult to venture the search of a sufficient amount of land to develop a condo but Fragrat Group has done it by all means snapping up a good plot on Soi Sukhumvit 12 to develop an ultra-modern and eco-friendly condominium by the name of Circle Rein Sukhumvit 12.
The word “Rein” is German meaning pure, clean, immaculate or such, a perfect word to drop a good hint of the true concept of the condo design of naturalism and contemporariness. The condo is a highly energy-efficient 8-storey building located 600 metres from Asok station, offering various lavish unit plans that suit people’s lifestyle in contemporary age.

It is incorporated with the preheated hot water from recovery system and stack parking, and made up of green materials. It offers the customized feature, the color logy, to astound the occupants. Because of being a low building, there won’t be excess population to make any resident worry. With limited offers of homes of this caliber, each unit can be rented out at Bt 800 – 1,000/sq.m. and with that rent, a 30.73 sq.m. unit (4.4MB) can produce an annual rental yield of 6.7 – 8.3%. The main target is the expats.
