Aspiration One Co., Ltd., the property developer of the 2.5 billion baht of Spring Tower, predicts a bright future in office rental spaces with continued growth thanks to growing demand of multinational companies investing in Thailand. They have made a long-term leasing agreement thanks to its strength of international building standards. With such positive feedback, the firm also looks to launch a real estate investment trust (REIT) to raise capital for two additional projects in potential locations in this year-end.

Nalinee Ngamsettamas, chief executive officer at AIRA Capital Plc and chairwoman Aspiration One Co., Ltd. said the office market outlook has grown significantly over the past eight years with the most recent agreement inked by the global collaborative space called “Wework”.  The move has shown an impeccable quality of Spring Tower and a huge potential of Ratchathewi area to become a new central business district (CBD) in the future.

Spring Tower is located on approximately 3-rai plot at the Ratchathewi intersection, providing Grade A rental spaces for workspace started from 9th to 27th floor. The 27-storey building is valued around 2.5 billion baht, targeting multinational company (MNC) and local major corporations. Presently, around 35% of total office spaces are occupied.

“This location is considered a new business district with a huge room to grow in the future. The building’s design is inspired by the combination between modernity and art, delivering the uniqueness of Thainess. It is a great honour that a major part of this building was contributed by Thailand’s two greatest architectures – Nontiwat Chanthanapalin, the national artist (painting) and Praiwal Dakliang, a renowned realistic artist. Environmentally, the tower is also certified by the international standard on environment of LEED GOLD, reaffirming its environmentally- friendly office building position.

It sits on a gem location with three-minute from BTS Ratchathewi station and one station from Airport rail link and BTS Siam station. It is easy to access from both Phayathai and Petchaburi road. By car, it can be reached within one kilometre from Yommarat tollgate and surrounded by other tollagtes, including Uruphong, Petchaburi, Victory Monument. The commute will be a lot easier in the future as MRT orange line, a zero distance to the premise, will be open in the next few years.

Spring Tower is owned by Aspiration One Co., Ltd. , a joint venture among three parties – Thailand’s leading contractor Sangfah Construction, the SET-listed property developer Sena Development Pcl and the country’s leading financial institute AIRA Capital Plc. This collaboration will strengthen business operation thanks to their specialisation and expertise, leading to the interests of those companies seeking a modern space to empower business growth. With great potential of project location and international standards of building, it has lured global companies to sign leasing agreement of four stories, supplying more than 6,500 square metres.
