Phrom Phong is widely recognisable as CBD at the heart of Bangkok where the characteristic of high-end living attracts a great number of residential projects – mostly high-rise condominiums. Upscale department stores full of luxury brand-name shops, fancy hangout places, public park, and BTS Skytrain are the main ingredients blending Phrom Phong to be an ideal location where an urban lifestyle is answered. Likewise, the property price leaps high as land plots are becoming short, surging residential demand to be over supplies. However, Noble Development Plc, who already launched two projects in this location earlier, namely Noble BE19 and Noble BE33, has found a way to introduce a new family member scheduled to be located close to one of its brothers. This project is “Noble Around Sukhumvit 33,” a 25-storey condominium with fully-fitted units, accompanied by a number of impressive facilities and, most importantly, sold at the price below the previous two’s.

Project Detail
Following the concept “Contrast is the New Exquisiteness,” Noble Around Sukhumvit 33 heavily blends dense nature into modern high-end living. The contrast is also reflected through white and brown colours on the building, as well as the square red marble above the main entrance which altogether brings a sense of boldness and distinctiveness to the appearance. Facilities of recreational gardens are located on multiple floors – allowing residents to find this place captivating to unwind. There are more to elaborate – details which complement Noble Around Sukhumvit 33 to be a retreat where Pause-Play Lifestyle is found.
Project’s positioning
via Googlemap
North: Next to a 2-storey restaurant, offering a view towards Phetchaburi Road
South: Next to an 8-storey residential building Berverly 33, offering a view towards Sukhumvit Road
East: Next to Sukhumvit Soi 33. The opposite side is a 10-storey residential building Taweewan and some 4- to 5-storey commercial building, offering a view towards Thonglor Road
West: Next to a 2-storey private house, offering a view towards Asok CBD
Despite being located next to Noble BE33, Noble Around Sukhumvit is carefully planned to avoid view blocking. There are no adjoined buildings to block views from the project, which is quite a rare attribute for a condominium at the heart of the city, within reach of BTS Skytrain.

Real Estate in Phrom Phong and Asok
Asok and Phrom Phong might be only one BTS station away from each other, but both are two spheres where real estate really prospers. High-rise condominiums, five-star hotels, premium office, and upscale department stores are huddled here, as well as a great number of population.
Plus Property found that land plots for real estate developments at the heart of the city have become rarer in the past three years, while condominium prices in Asok and Phrom Phong adjusts higher by 9-10% each year – now at THB 260,000 per square metre, on average. Nevertheless, major developers are still pioneering into this territory as all projects seem to make a great selling in the past few years. One reason is that affluent buyers are unaffected by the economic ups and downs. From 2012 – 2015, there were 51 projects launched in this area, altogether 24,883 units – a total value of THB 214,931.
In recent years, the rapid growing of condominiums in Asok and Phrom Phong tend to slow down; in 2016, there were only 1,044 new units and, from 2016’s last quarter to 2017’s second quarter, there were only 558 new units – a much smaller increase compared to other zones. The average sales of condominiums in Asok and Phrom Phong was at 77% last year, in addition.
Project’s location
Noble Around Sukhumvit 33 is located in Sukhumvit Soi 33, 350 metres from BTS Phrom Phong. The surroundings comprises upmarket department stores, Benchasiri Park, supermarkets, and street foods. Here, Thonglor, Ekkamai, Asok Monti Road, and Phetchaburi Road are within reach. The expressways are neither too far away. Parallel to Sukhumvit Road, there’s Khlong Saen Saen Express Boat – another passage to avoid traffic congestion. Furthermore, when The Emsphere, the third luxury mall of The EM District, is complete, there will be a skywalk stretched passing Sukhumvit Soi 33 – a greater strolling experience for this downtown.

These expats earn salaries over THB 300,000 and mostly choose to rent over purchasing for a permanent stay. 2-Bedrooms is not entirely out of their considerations, as some come as a family. The average yield rate for renting is at 5%, while the monthly rent price you will earn is around THB 1,000 – 1,200 per square metre.

Through observation in the area, Noble BE33 and Noble Around Sukhumvit 33 are the only two projects situated less than 350 metres from BTS Phrom Phong. Though the exact price figure at Noble Around Sukhumvit 33 has not yet been disclosed, the number is revealed to be lower than that of Noble BE33. Plus, the small number of units in this project would enhance the privacy aspect – to be superior above others where massive residents are found living in.
Noble Around Sukhumvit 33 is a sequent project after Noble BE33, which offers a more affordable price and focuses mainly on one-bedroom and two-bedroom units. The project is located in Phrom Phong CBD, 350 metres from BTS Phrom Phong – an ideal condominium for expats as the setting comprises convenient transportation, restaurants focusing on specific foreign cuisines, convenience stores, public amenities, and luxury department stores.
“Contrast is the New Exquisiteness” is the concept of marrying luxurious urban lifestyle and relaxation from the nature into Noble Around Sukhumvit 33. On the surface, a bold architectural design is shown through a stark contrast between white and dark brown colours – added with red marbles for the luxury. However, the inside is Green. There are outdoor gardens on the G, 4th, 14th, 21st and 22nd Floor, and each has its own function, features, and scale, for dynamic perpetual leisure among the foilage.
For the rooms, every unit is decked out in Fully Fitted: kitchen set, bathroom sanitary, built-in wardrobe, Home Automation. To demonstrate, the fact that a dining table for more than two persons can fit in one-bedroom’s kitchen area is quite impressive. The built-in wardrobe stands high to the ceiling height and is designed in a walk-in closet setting. Another unique feature is the broad Low-E Glass in the bedroom, which has a coating reflecting the sunlight heat off – hence, a lower energy expense – though, this is provided for the unit facing towards the west only.
One might concern about the project’s proximity to Noble BE33, but through a though-out rearranging of Noble Around Sukhumvit 33, there will be no complete view block – which is rare, considering a project that’s situated close to BTS Skytrain. All in all, this is the place for urbanites, especially expats, who look for a reachable-price luxury condominium at the heart of the city.
CARAPACE Hua Hin-Khao Tao one of the interesting projects which is not far from Hua Hin. It is located at Khao Tao beach near Petchkasem road. There are many room types available. The space varies between 26 to 43.53 square meters. Full facilities access in the common area whether it be the Grand Lobby, All Day Dining, Fitness, Swimming Pool, Water park, Beach Club. The price starts from THB3.5 million.
Supalai Icon Sathorn is a 56-storey (not included rooftop) luxury condominium with 787 units. The project offers a variety of unit types, and is close to the BTS, MRT, BRT as well as the Rama 4 and Sathorn expressway entries. The starting price is 8.2 MB.
The Triple Y Residence is located in a mixed-use development, Samyan Mitrtown, which comprises office, retail, residence and facilities Starting 4.49 million Baht
