Central Pattana, a division of Thailand’s Central Group that specializes in property development, plans to infuse a staggering 21 billion baht (US$640 million) into the creation of an expansive new shopping and lifestyle hub in northern Bangkok.
The development, dubbed The Central Phaholyothin, will grace the Phaholyothin Road with its vast 457,000 square metre footprint. The complex will be a blend of retail, dining, entertainment, and cultural facilities, incorporating a concert hall and a convention centre tailored to accommodate international events. Furthermore, the prime location of the site will allow for a direct train connection to Don Mueang International Airport.
Chanavat Uahwatanasakul, the Retail and Development President at Central Pattana, commented on the strategic placement of the development. “We have chosen a prime location that enables us to cater to more than 2.5 million people in northern Bangkok. However, The Central Phaholyothin aims to be more than just a shopping mall; it will be a world-class destination for entertainment, culture, and business.”
The Central Phaholyothin is set to be peppered with several distinctive features, all designed with a view to draw visitors and create a vibrant, energetic space. Some of the key features include:
– Central Stage: This will serve as a connection between an upper-level international dining area and a ground-level street food zone.
– Market Hall: A revolving pop-up space envisioned to host food and cultural events.
– Waterfall Courtyard: An eco-friendly centerpiece featuring an Edible Garden, reflecting the ‘from farm to table’ concept.
Moreover, other areas will be dedicated to fashion, family lifestyle, and creative arts.
Nattakit Tangpoonsinthana, the Chief Marketing Officer at Central Pattana, mentioned that the project is designed to redefine northern Bangkok and enhance the city’s status as an international destination. “Through our developments, we have been successful in transforming key districts into significant landmarks. With The Central Phaholyothin, we aim to establish a new cultural and business hub that can rival the likes of global cities such as New York, London, Seoul, and Tokyo.”
The Central Phaholyothin is expected to be completed by the end of next year.
