ANANDA DEVELOPMENT UNVEILS IDEO NEW RAMA 9, CONNECTING URBAN PROFESSIONALS IN BANGKOK’S “NEW CBD”

Bangkok, Thailand (4 June 2019) – Ananda Development PCL, the innovative real estate developer that is redefining urban living solutions in Bangkok, has unveiled IDEO New Rama 9, a stylish new condominium project located just 380 metres from MRT Ramkhamhaeng 12 subway station and 800 metres from Airport Railway (ARL) Ramkhamhaeng in the Thai capital’s “new CBD”.

In recent years, Rama 9 has transformed into a prime destination for business and residential real estate, bringing about investments and expansions of office buildings such as, AIA, Unilever, G Tower etc. It enhances the growth of surrounding areas, including Ramkhamhaeng, an up-and-coming neighbourhood where residences and educational institutes e.g. Ramkhamhaeng University, Assumption University of Thailand Hua Mak, and National Institute of Development Administration (NIDA) are located. The development of MRT Orange Line connecting to the east side of Bangkok, multiple lifestyle centres, and investment from The Mall Group contribute to this rise, corresponding to modern lifestyles of the people in the district.

This area’s latest gleaming landmark is IDEO New Rama 9, a contemporary 24-storey development which has been intuitively designed to suit active urban lifestyles. A total of 994 residential units are available with modern interiors, high-end amenities and panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows.

This innovative development features a series of flexible spaces, including a lobby that doubles as a work corner or even a casual meeting room, and a library that also functions as a co-working space, allowing residents to switch seamlessly between business and leisure. IDEO New Rama 9 also aims to maximise its connection with nature, with plenty of green space, landscaped gardens and a freeform pool and deck surrounded by tropical plants and trees. The outdoor pool also features state-of-the-art “swimming jets”, which allow residents to exercise and unwind freely, with adjustable underwater pressure to suit the swimmer’s individual preferences.

Prices start from just THB 3 million (approx. USD95,000), making IDEO New Rama 9 considerably more affordable than nearby Sukhumvit and presenting a compelling opportunity for young professionals or forward-thinking investors.

“Property prices in Bangkok’s prime central locations, especially Sukhumvit, have soared in recent years due to a shortage of available land. As businesses and residences shift into new and accessible parts of the city, Rama 9 is become a new business area. Drawing on Rama 9’s distinct location close to transportation networks; BTS, MRT, Airport Link, expressway, motorway, and main and secondary roads, it is where grade-A offices, department stores, hotels, residences, high-end condominiums, single houses, and home offices are situated. The coming of the MRT Orange Line will positively bring Rama 9 into light,” said Chanond Ruangkritya, CEO of Ananda Development.

With Bangkok becoming severely congested during rush hour, the appeal of mass transit networks becomes ever greater. Ramkhamhaeng 12 MRT station will be on the new Orange Line, which is currently under construction and scheduled to open in 2023. The interchange with the current MRT Blue Line will be just three stops away, offering fast access to and from the traditional business districts of Sukhumvit, Sathorn and Silom. Rajamangala Station, which is just two stops away, will serve Thailand’s 50,000-seat national sports stadium. IDEO New Rama 9’s residents can even travel around the city by boat via The Mall 3 Pier. This impressive infrastructure is creating a corridor of connectivity between Rama 9 and Ramkamhaeng, opening up a highly accessible new urban hotspot.

Ananda is Bangkok’s number one mass transit condominium developer. With a portfolio of more than 60 residential projects, which are on average just 76 metres from the nearest mass transport station, this forward-thinking developer is redefining urban living solutions in Thailand’s capital city. These developments provide local residents, expats and overseas buyers with a choice of 45,000+ state-of-the-art condo units in all corners of the city, from prime downtown districts to exciting up-and-coming suburbs.

Ananda also topped the rankings for the number of condo units sold in Bangkok in 2018. In the years ahead, Ananda’s strategy of developing high-quality residences close to mass transit stations means that more people than ever before will have the opportunity to live, work and play in this vibrant Asian metropolis.
