HOF Sukhumvit 101/1 rounds up a collection of out-of-ordinary, smart and extravagant home & office buildings designed by a Thai famous and well-experienced home designer Mr. Sorakit Kitcharoenrot. The jewel in the crown of this stunning home is an iconic interior design allowing for the room temperature below the ambient temperature and great ventilation during daytime, created with a core motivation of the designer to save on the air conditioner as a major source of average household electricity consumption. Despite such rare risk-taking efforts, HOF 101/1 was overwhelmed with positive reactions such that all of the units of Phase I project had been quickly sold out in a week since the first day they were delivered for sale. The phase II was later introduced in consequence of the popularity over the phase I, setting out 6 units for sale.

In the end, even the area as remote as located along Sukhumvit 77 has all started to experience the rapid urbanization because of it, resulting in the developments of townhouses, commercial centre, retailers, and office buildings alike all over from Sukhumvit 77, Phunnavithi 101, Wachira Thum Sathit 101/1, Udom Suk 103, to Bangna. Furthermore, the yellow line extension in 2019 will tremendously increase the pace with which the change occurs around this area as it will interconnect the orange line transit, airport rail link, and street attractions along the road toward Srinakharin-Ratchada. The road network is extremely satisfied as anyone shall easily find a clear road to take. For being conveniently commutable amid all the urban-living amenities, first time buyers and especially Japanese investors are starting to take a liking with the properties set along Sukhumvit 77.

Lifestyle Amenities
20 years ago the street which we come to know as Sukhumvit 101/1 was titled Wachira Thum Sathit by the locals before. The pre-developed geography along the street was recognized as a vast rural area with a long founded local school and temple and nothing more. But the advent of BTS green line has brought significant changes to it; that large grassland was no longer rendered empty but constituted of a community mall Piyarom and hypermarkets including Big C and Tesco Lotus offering I-Berry, S&P, McDonalds, among others. That was not all. In the forthcoming 2019, Wisdom 101 by MQDC will be open to cater marvelous food, clothing, and a place to hang out, which could instantly affect the whole area. A greater number of commuters are expected to increase for certain.
