Bangkok, December 7, 2017 – Magnolia Quality Development Corporation Limited (MQDC), part of the DTGO Corporation Group, is engaged in the development, investment, and management of real estate, owning and developing quality residential and mixed-use projects under the brands Magnolias, The Aspen Tree, and Whizdom. The company has launched a business development plan in Bangna to revolutionize the real estate industry, partnering with global partners to create the project “THE FORESTIAS”, the world's first flagship project valued at no less than 90 billion baht, presenting a model of living in harmony with a balanced ecosystem for sustainable happiness under the concept “Imagine Happiness”. This project stands out for creating a Mixed-Use Lifestyle experience on over 300 rai, surrounded by residential projects, retail spaces, office buildings, health centers, future innovation buildings, recreational forest areas, community activity spaces, learning centers, and marks the first creation of the largest complete forest ecosystem in Asia to meet the diverse lifestyles of all family members. Construction will begin in 2018 and is expected to be completed by 2022.

CEO of Magnolia Quality Development Corporation Limited (MQDC), Mr. Visith Malaisirirat, stated, “Currently, advancements in innovation and technology play a significant role in driving the economy while connecting life and lifestyle into one. Amidst material progress, signals of global issues are emerging, impacting the world, such as the deterioration of natural ecosystems, the gap within families, and the potential for isolation and depression, or the rapid growth of aging societies.”
“Our company is committed to creating and developing real estate projects to bridge gaps and create sustainable happiness under the promise of 'for all well-being', which aims to create the best living conditions for everyone’s lives, while being part of the world through nature-conscious design, applying new innovations and technologies to conserve the environment, and increasing spaces for all four generations of families, including grandparents, parents, children, and grandchildren, to spend time together and exchange experiences, thus fostering a more livable community.”

“THE FORESTIAS” arises from the question, “What is true happiness in our lives?” It may not be easy to answer, as happiness varies from person to person. However, one thing is certain: happiness must positively impact our body, mind, those around us, and our environment. This is the foundation of the definition of “sustainable happiness.”

Senior Director of Magnolia Quality Development Corporation Limited (MQDC), Mr. Kittiphan Uiyamapan, stated, “This is the first time we are creating a real estate project that uses the concept of ‘true happiness’ as a guiding principle. We have collaborated with world-class partners to design and create the project to deliver true happiness to people in the present and future, resulting in the world's first flagship project “THE FORESTIAS”, a definition of creating real estate projects into a new phenomenon, with a project value exceeding 90 billion baht, developed under the concept “Imagine Happiness”, allowing everyone to live a sustainably happy lifestyle, as it is the first Mixed-Use Lifestyle real estate project that is fully surrounded by residential projects, retail spaces, office buildings, health centers, future innovation buildings, recreational forest areas, community activity spaces, learning centers, and marks the first creation of the largest complete forest ecosystem in Asia. The project incorporates four major components, or Eternal 4, which include 50 Shades of Nature, happiness in living amidst a large natural ecosystem, Connecting 4 Generations, happiness in designing warm spaces for families to live together across four generations, Community of Dreams, happiness in spaces and public utilities that allow everyone to engage in activities together, and Sustainnovation for Well-being, happiness through technology and innovations for sustainability, which is the DNA of MQDC that creates a new way of life for today and the future.”

“We have partnered with leading global experts to create a living experience within an environment that promotes happiness for residents. This is the world's first model, including Foster + Partners as design and architectural consultants, EEC Engineering Network for research and development of building systems, adhering to our company's principle of Sustainnovation, which is the core that uses advanced innovations and technologies to create a prototype of building systems that emphasize sustainability and social and environmental responsibility. Atelier Ten collaborates in research, studying, and planning to mitigate environmental impacts, including ensuring a balanced and sustainable ecosystem through various innovations, and serves as a supervisor and controller of design and construction to set a benchmark for world-class project development. ITEC Entertainment will create experiences and recreation within the project to ensure residents and visitors encounter the most special experiences. Six Senses will manage and provide hospitality and residential services that adhere to the principles of living in harmony with nature, health, and sustainability,” Mr. Kittiphan added.


Additionally, the Harvard University School of Public Health is involved in studying this project, which represents a new scientific research effort collecting data on the impacts of the design and layout of this project on human health. The development of this new urban model integrates health-promoting building design with natural diversity and structures that encourage healthy activities. This is the foundation of happiness.

The project “THE FORESTIAS” is located on over 300 rai of land in Bangna-Trad, kilometer 7, with construction starting in 2018 and expected to be completed by 2022.
