泰国曼谷. Walden Thonglor 8, Bangkok

Walden Thonglor 8 is an exciting new Bangkok residential launch by Habitat Group in joint venture with List from Japan. It comprises a single low-rise building with only 8-floors and 117 FREEHOLD condominium units.  

At Walden Thonglor 8, every feature is designed to give you more control of all facets of your rich and full modern life and enhance your every perception and sensory connection. The grandeur of space is further enhanced with the unique interlocking design, giving a 3.45m ceiling height next to the window.

The development is located on Thonglor Soi 8, a charming, quiet road leading from bustling main Thonglor Road. Residents will therefore benefit from a leafy, peaceful environment but without sacrificing the convenience of being close-by all the entertainment and shopping amenities that Bangkok’s most popular residential area has to offer. Thonglor BTS Skytrain Station is just nearby, and the new Grey Monorail Line will open in 2023 with a station at Thonglor Soi 10 just a short walk away.

Walden Thonglor 8 will be completed and ready-to-move-in to in mid-2022 providing early buyers an ideal opportunity to enjoy a projected higher-than-average level of capital growth during the construction period. Walden Thonglor 8 is expected to prove popular with both end-user buyers and investors alike as the Thonglor area has long been the preferred residential district for wealthy Thai families and the many Japanese expatriates in Bangkok. 

The developer behind Walden Thonglor 8 is Habitat Group, a privately held Thailand developer of premium residential property in Pattaya and Bangkok. The company was founded in 2012 with the goal of becoming a leading Thailand residential developer in the upper mid-range to luxury market. The company’s founders recognized that differentiation is key in a competitive marketplace and sought to develop projects with unique character in terms of innovative design and superb functionality. The company’s paramount vision was to establish HABITAT GROUP as an instantly recognized and well-regarded international standard brand featuring world-class design and incomparable product quality.

The first development launched by Habitat Group was ‘The Ville Jomtien’ in Q1 2013 in Pattaya, renowned as one of the fastest growing beach cities in Southeast Asia. This pool villa 80-unit project was an extraordinary success, after construction was completed in Q4 2015 residences were sold out in less than 2 years.

Habitat has received no fewer than 36 industry awards for hotel-branded developments and 2018 marked the company’s entry into Bangkok’s high-end residential market, beginning with Leroy Ruamrudee, an ultra-luxury townhouse project.

List Company, established in 1991 in Japan, are also involved in the development of Walden Thonglor 8 and bring significant experience and quality control to the project. Day-to-day management of Walden Thonglor 8 will be handled by L’axe, an affiliate of Jalux Inc., a well-established Tokyo-based company enabling optimum building upkeep and property rental services.
