The Base Height Mittraphap - Khon Kaen Sales Reach 80% Benefiting from the Double Track Railway, Khon Kaen Set to Open in 2019
Sansiri reveals that the condominium market in Khon Kaen is thriving, benefiting from government mega-projects, including the double track railway from Jira to Khon Kaen, which is expected to be completed in 2019. This project aims to enhance travel and freight transport efficiency in the northeastern region, alongside the expansion of Khon Kaen Airport, which will feature a new passenger terminal and parking facilities to elevate it to an international airport status, accommodating tourists. Additionally, a light rail transit (LRT) system is set to commence operations in 2020, boosting the appeal of “The Base Height Mittraphap - Khon Kaen”, a ready-to-move-in condominium located in the heart of Khon Kaen, adjacent to Central Plaza, indicating a continuous growth trend in the real estate market in Khon Kaen.
Mr. Uthai Uthaisangsuak, Senior Vice President of Business Development and Project Development at Sansiri Public Company Limited, stated that the real estate market in Khon Kaen is showing positive trends due to supportive government infrastructure development plans for transportation in the area, both land and air. This includes the double track railway project along the Jira-Khon Kaen route, covering 187 kilometers, which is currently about 22% complete, ahead of schedule by 0.47%. The construction is expected to be completed on time by 2018-2019. It is anticipated that once the project is operational, it will shift freight transport from road to rail, with daily passenger numbers expected to rise from 27,200-38,800 to 37,000-55,000. The freight volume currently at approximately 10,900-11,300 tons per day is projected to increase to 36,400 tons per day by 2034, enhancing travel and logistics efficiency in the country.
Furthermore, there are plans for a light rail transit (LRT) system aimed at alleviating traffic congestion and improving travel convenience. This will be the first province outside of Bangkok to have a mass transit system, set to launch in 2020, with a pilot route running north-south along Mittraphap Road from Ban Samran to Ban Tha Phra, covering 22.6 kilometers with 16 stations. One of the stations will be located at the city gate (Central), right in front of The Base Height Mittraphap - Khon Kaen project, making it even more convenient for residents.
“The benefits from the government's transportation infrastructure development plans in Khon Kaen have led to a surge in demand for housing, particularly condominiums in the city center. This has propelled “The Base Height Mittraphap - Khon Kaen”, a ready-to-move-in condominium by Sansiri, to be the tallest in the city center, adjacent to Central Plaza Khon Kaen, making it ideal for living and investment rental. There is significant interest from potential buyers, primarily university students from Khon Kaen University, doctors from local hospitals, and business owners,” Mr. Uthai added.
“The Base Height Mittraphap - Khon Kaen” boasts a prime location next to Central Plaza, within walking distance for convenient shopping, and is equipped with comprehensive facilities including a swimming pool on the 35th floor, a large communal garden, a futsal field, a reading room, a gym with standard equipment, wireless internet in the lobby, security personnel, a 24-hour CCTV system, and parking spaces. The project is surrounded by numerous important locations such as Khon Kaen University and Khon Kaen Ram Hospital, with easy access via the main route, Mittraphap Road, allowing straightforward travel to the city center, government offices, the airport, or nearby provinces. The residential building consists of 36 floors with a total of 983 units, with a project value of approximately 2.1 billion baht, designed under the concept of “Life in the Atmosphere,” aiming to provide a daily experience of life in a vibrant atmosphere in a prime location, reflecting the lifestyle of visionary individuals who seek modern living and a different lifestyle in a condominium setting. The units range from 1 to 2 bedrooms, with sizes from 29.00 to 65.00 square meters, starting at 1.75 million baht, with promotional offers including free transfer fees and complete electrical appliances, discounts of up to 100,000 baht, and an interest rate of 2.99% for 3 years from now until June 30, 2017.
