Location

A decade ago, the expansion of BTS had gradually transformed the Ending Sukhumvit into an urban area; flats were being replaced condominiums and housing estates within a few years. Debuts of modern community malls and leading department stores had a massive impact on land prices, especially those right on Sukhumvit Rd., BTS, and department stores. To illustrate, it rose up by 30-50% equivalent to over 100,00 baht/Sq.w., almost the same price in Thong lor-Ekkamai districts. Consequently, small and major real estate developers have been developing high-end projects through condominium, single-house, and 3-storey townhome; some had their own land bank while others purchased lands in mass volume. Generally, the average price of townhome project in the city starts at 5 million bath. The prosperity, still, continues to extend towards Bangna, Bearing districts.

Leon Sukhumvit 62

Potentially, several routes which connected to the project

Sukhumvit 62 holds a strong essence in terms of transportation. Despite the traffic in the rush hours, plenty of alternatives are available. Bang Chak BTS is only one km. away from the residence; in addition, the project is 300 m. away from Sukhumvit 62 expressway and 500 m. away from At Narong-Ramindra expressway. Moreover, there is a shortcut to On Nut and Ekkamai through Old Railway Line. Likewise, many real estate developers have invested in low-rise condominiums, resulted in high demand of distinctive townhome projects. Although the price is relatively high, the prime location with inclusivity of urban lifestyle, astonished amenities, and effective transportation, perfectly compensate this investment.

Getting There

Having personal vehicles is a total benefit due to extremely close expressways. Old Railway shortcut is another alternative but specific details on the route is necessary. In addition, Bang Chak BTS Station is 1 km. away from the project; with the availability of motorcycle taxi charging 20 baht.

BTS Skytrain

On Bang Chak BTS Station, take exit 4, then take motorcycle taxi to arrive at the resident in 1 km. of distance.

Personal Vehicle

Route 1: From Sukhumvit, take a turn into Sukhumvit 62 alley and go straight for 1 km. across the bridge; stay on the left track then take a right turn again, straight on for 300 m. to arrive at the project on the left.

Route 2: From the Old Railway shortcut, turn left into Sukhumvit 62 alley; go along the way for 340 m. and notice Prakanong Pittayalai School. Turn right along the way and go straight for 200 m. to find At Narong-Ramindra expressway on the left; straight on for another 400 m. to arrive at the project on the right.

Lifestyle Amenities

Sukhumvit 62, in its recognition, seems difficult to come up with famous restaurants. However, there are a few historical ones. Originated in 1962, Leng Hong Restaurant was the first air-conditioned restaurant at that time; their foods in Chinese Teochew style served customers in delightful experiences. The branch in Sukhumvit 62 was subsequently established in 2005, being a favorite dining place for families in this area. Their recommended dishes are Peking Duck, Barbecued Suckling-Pig, Chicken Liquor, etc. Besides the classic Chinese restaurant, there is a noodle restaurant specializes in fish ball and shrimp ball. “Teng Chai Huad,” locates in the alley of Sukhumvit 62 at the first junction, well-known in its 90-year-traditional recipes. For those who seek for a more stylish restaurant, Baan Ton Peep offers Thai dishes such as Green Curry Beef and Fried shrimp with salt and pepper, among the environment of loft style. Moreover, Fresh Hour Auto Café is a relaxed place to sit down or work. For those who enjoy shopping, there are The Phyll and Piyarom Place community malls; the latter one will be renovated into Whizdom 101. There is a convenient store available as well, On Nut Lotus on Sukhumvit 50.

Analysis

Location in the area of Sukhumvit 62 shares similar aspects of urbanization in inner Sukhumvit; resulted in 30-50% increase or doubling in land prices. Essentially, most residential projects are in the form of condominiums; led to a great interest on Townhome projects in terms of investment, which fewer competitors exist. In fact, a lot of people rent a townhome for business purposes or to settle as a home office. The renting price of 3-storey townhomes at the ending Sukhumvit range from 40,000-50,000 baht/month.
