Property Perfect has ventured into real estate designed for university students with the launch of a new dormitory design under the Uniloft brand.
The property developer’s first two Uniloft dorms are in the Salaya area of Nakhon Pathom, and in Chiang Mai. It also plans to introduce the concept in Khon Kaen province. The projects have reported occupancy rates of 50 percent during university breaks and more than 90 percent during term time.
According to Property Perfect’s Senior Manager Saranyu Ngowsirimanee, Uniloft’s design was inspired by an Australian university dormitory where he stayed in Melbourne 10 years ago.
Each unit comes with a living room, two bedrooms and walk-in closet, while the walls are designed to accommodate student accessories, such as books and computers.
The dorms also incorporate condo-style living as they feature a gym, swimming pool, laboratory, meeting room, study room, laundry room and convenience store. The dormitories have separate buildings for males and females.
“We took more than four years before launching the Uniloft project brand to the market, and we believe the concept will expand to other locations close to universities,” he said.
