Ramkhamhaeng: A New Potential Location for Interchange of Two Electric Train Lines + Airport Rail Link Driving New Condo Prices Up 15% Annually

Knightsbridge Collage Ramkhamhaeng: A Living Style for Those Who Prefer to Stand Out

         Since the approval of the Orange Line electric train project, the areas along its route have become increasingly vibrant. This is evident as multiple developers have continuously entered the market to develop projects. Some may worry about the potential for an over supply situation similar to what occurred with the Purple Line.

However, TerraBKK believes that such a phenomenon is unlikely to occur along the Orange Line, as this route leads into the New CBD area of Rama 9, passing through several residential zones. This elevates the importance of the Orange Line compared to the Purple Line, and it is expected that in the next 2-3 years, the areas along the Orange Line will become some of the hottest locations.

            Certainly, the expansion of the Orange Line will benefit the surrounding areas, such as the “Ramkhamhaeng” district, which is particularly interesting due to the growth driven by public investment, especially in transportation infrastructure that connects various areas like Rama 9, Asoke, Sukhumvit, Silom, Sathorn, and Siam quickly and conveniently.

            TerraBKK sees great potential in the Ramkhamhaeng area, as indicated by the Bangkok Master Plan 2013, which places Ramkhamhaeng in the Bang Kapi district. The area around the Lam Salee intersection, where the project is located, is designated for commercial use (red zone), known for its high potential. Additionally, it is surrounded by medium-density residential areas (orange zone), clearly showing that this location is planned to accommodate a large population expanding from urban areas like Rama 9, Asoke, or Sukhumvit, which are interconnected as central districts. According to the land use in the Bangkok Master Plan 2013, areas can be categorized into two types: low-density residential (yellow) and medium-density residential (orange), with the commercial red zone at the center. The Ramkhamhaeng area distinctly serves as a hub for both residential and commercial activities, connecting several major roads, giving it an advantage in traffic compared to nearby areas. The road network, including Ramkhamhaeng Road, connects to Seri Thai Road, Ladprao Road, Rama 9 Road, Srinakarin Road, Nawamin Road, Bangkok-Krit Road, and Hua Mak Road, which are vital routes leading to other areas conveniently.

            Furthermore, access to the Si Rat Expressway and the Ram Inthra-At Narong Expressway is available. The transportation plan in the Bangkok Master Plan 2013 indicates several roads for both expanding existing routes and constructing new ones, connecting Ramkhamhaeng Road to Bangkok-Krit Road and Ch.2 Road, which starts from the Burapha Withi Expressway heading north until it meets Prasert Manukitch Road, linking Bang Na and Nawamin, enhancing the commuting options in the Ramkhamhaeng area.

According to the TerraBKK Research team, data on condo prices has been collected since around 2006, when the price was only 35,000 baht per square meter. The condominium market in this area began to become clearer in 2016, with prices skyrocketing, leading to an average annual increase of 15%. There has been a continuous supply entering the market up to this year, a direct result of the clarity surrounding the Orange Line, making it no surprise that major real estate companies are flocking to this area.

            In addition to real estate companies rapidly launching projects in the Ramkhamhaeng area, the retail business is also adapting by renovating shopping malls in the vicinity to align with modern lifestyles. The goal is to establish the malls in the Ramkhamhaeng area as another shopping hub in Bangkok. Recently, The Mall Group announced plans to revamp “The Mall 2 Ramkhamhaeng” significantly, which will involve demolishing the old building and constructing a new one, expected to take 2-3 years to complete. This renovation aims to leverage the potential of the location near Suvarnabhumi International Airport, strategically attracting “tourists” to the area with the upcoming Orange and Yellow Line electric trains.

Knightsbridge Collage Ramkhamhaeng: A British-Style Condominium with Complete Facilities

            Undoubtedly, in the coming years, the Ramkhamhaeng area will become even more prominent. Therefore, TerraBKK is excited to present a high-quality condominium in this area, specifically the Knightsbridge Collage Ramkhamhaeng, a new condominium project by Origin Property Public Company Limited, marking a new Landmark on Ramkhamhaeng Road.

For those looking for a condo near the electric train lines in the Ramkhamhaeng area, which will soon feature connections between three lines: the Orange Line, Yellow Line, and Brown Line, as well as a connection from the Yellow Line to the Airport Rail Link, this review is a must-read. The project is located at the entrance of Soi Ramkhamhaeng 42, near the Lam Salee intersection, which serves as a central point of the main roads in the Ramkhamhaeng area, making the project stand out significantly in terms of location.

Interchange of the Orange Line - Yellow Line: The Prominent Potential of the Ramkhamhaeng Area

A key highlight is that the project is close to the Lam Salee intersection, which will be the interchange for two electric train lines: the Orange Line, which is already under construction, and the Yellow Line, which has recently secured contractors and is expected to begin construction early next year.

The distance between the project and the electric train stations is very close, with the Orange Line (Hua Mak Station) just 100 meters away and the Yellow Line (Lam Salee Station) 600 meters away.

In addition to these two lines, Lam Salee Station will also serve as an interchange with the Brown Line monorail leading to the Khae Rai intersection.

For those needing to use the Airport Rail Link to Phaya Thai or Suvarnabhumi, there’s no need to worry about taking a longer route, as you can opt for the Yellow Line to connect to the Airport Rail Link at Hua Mak Station.

         Looking at the electric train route map further illustrates the future travel possibilities, prompting a reevaluation of the perception that the Ramkhamhaeng area is far from the city.

Even if you work in the city, commuting will be convenient and may even be faster than driving, as there are multiple travel routes available, making it likely that this area will be a great place for living.

Regarding investment, anyone looking to buy for rental purposes should start planning now, as the two electric train lines set to emerge in the next few years, along with the Airport Rail Link that currently provides direct access to the airport, will significantly increase demand for housing, especially among foreigners, due to the ease of access to the airport. This situation has already been observed in the On Nut - Phra Khanong area over the past 4-5 years.

The Knightsbridge Collage Ramkhamhaeng project is a high-rise condominium with 25 floors and 682 units on a 4-0-11.9 rai plot, with parking available for approximately 46% (including stacked parking).

The units come in 4 types, fully furnished, with prices starting at 2.05 million baht

• 1 Bedroom 22.20-22.90 Sq.m. (318 units)
• 1 Bedroom Exclusive 26.40 Sq.m. (138 units)
• 1 Bedroom Plus 31.40-32.50 Sq.m. (180 units)
• 2 Bedroom 43.20-43.30 Sq.m. (46 units)

            The project’s standout feature is its classic British-style design, blending classic elements with innovative functions, catering to the new lifestyle context of the Ramkhamhaeng area, reflecting the identity and lifestyle of its residents.

            The building features a dark color tone that complements its modern contemporary style while maintaining the timeless elegance of classic British design, seamlessly integrating vintage elements.

            In addition to its unique design, the project prioritizes residents' relaxation areas, providing comprehensive facilities in the common areas.
