MAGNOLIAS RATCHADAMRI BOULEVARD, PATHUMWAN DISTRICT

BANGKOK, THAILAND

Inspired by the elegant forms of magnolia petals, this is central Bangkok’s latest luxury condo, where the bulk of the 316 residences are already sold after it was heavily marketed to overseas buyers. Developer Magnolia Finest Corporation says high-end Bangkok condos are half the price of those in Singapore and just a fifth of those in Hong Kong. To make apartments at the 60-storey building even more appealing to buyers, the developer has extended leases from 30 years to 50 years. The mixed-use development’s most exclusive homes are six duplex penthouses ranging from 2,690sqft to 3,875sqft. Residents’ communal facilities include a curved garden-view library, a jogging track and valet parking.

WOW FACTOR: Its own on-site Waldorf Astoria Bangkok—the hotel brand’s first premises in southeast Asia. To underpin the luxury lifestyle promised by the developer, the tower’s residents will enjoy “VIP privileges” at its spa, bars and restaurants.
