The area of Central Sukhumvit is a luxury location that continues to attract developers and investors consistently. Towards the end of 2017, we have seen new investment perspectives and other changes in the Central Sukhumvit area that have created a buzz while enhancing convenience for Sukhumvit residents. This includes various retail projects, which TerraBKK has compiled to showcase interesting retail projects that are establishing themselves in Sukhumvit, indicating its status as a residential hub for expatriates.

The new and interesting projects we see are spread across the area from BTS Asoke - BTS Phra Khanong, overlapping between early and late Sukhumvit. This gives us a glimpse of the expansion of development from early and central Sukhumvit towards the later areas like Ekkamai and Phra Khanong. Particularly around BTS Asoke, the transportation infrastructure is highly developed, being a crucial intersection bustling with office buildings and serviced by two BTS lines, making this area evidently prosperous. Notable retail projects in Central Sukhumvit include:

Family Mart Sukhumvit 33

Family Mart may just be a small convenience store scattered around, but the Family Mart at Sukhumvit 33 has been revamped into a One Stop Shopping Destination, the first of its kind in Thailand to adopt the Japanese convenience store model, strategically located in an area densely populated with expatriates. This new Family Mart features two floors, including sections for general retail, ready-to-eat meals, a fresh coffee shop, snacks and beverages, fresh fruits and vegetables, flowers, and other consumer goods, resembling a mini-market. Notably, the second floor offers an open space with Wi-Fi service and includes capsule toy vending machines to enhance the Japanese ambiance.
