Location
Phloen Chit
Some question where in Bangkok holds the most valuable land plots, the answer is Phloen Chit, a small stretch of street on Sukhumvit Rd. between BTS Chit Lom and BTS Phloen Chit, yet encompasses so many premium skyscrapers, restaurants and shopping centres, and it’s a CBD of the nation. Undoubtedly, this is the dream location among developers and residents; the residential demands that has exceeded the supplies resulted in the extreme trading prices in this area. To demonstrate, the cheapest residence you could find in this luxurious array costs at 150,000 Baht/Sq.m., whereas the majority commenced the starting price above 200,000 Baht/Sq.m., and some even goes to 500,000 Baht/Sq.m. If you wonder how much it cost to own 1 Sq.w. in Phloen Chit proximity, it’s over one million baht.
In general, the high-rise condominiums here are sitting in line aside the main road, whereas the low-rise are settled in the alley, due to the govenment restriction that needs the front street to be at least 10 m. wide for high-rise developments. This somehow varies the advantage points between the two type; one would be more convenient to the public transit, but the other would gain more privacy for the residents, and MAESTRO 02 Ruamrudee is the latter one that compensates the longer distances to BTS Phloen Chit with shuttle-service delivering residents right to the station and All Seasons Place.
