Introducing the Location of Bangna, the Eastern City Center

Bangna has been continuously growing, and since Suvarnabhumi Airport began operations, the area has become increasingly prominent, turning into a hub for Eastern Bangkok. The convenient access to the city via the first stage expressway and the outbound routes via the Burapha Withi Expressway or the motorway to the Eastern region, which is a significant tourist and industrial area of the country, enhances its potential.

The hottest area along Bangna-Trad Road is at the beginning of Bangna, near the Bangna intersection up to Central Bangna shopping mall. Before the extension of the BTS Skytrain from On Nut Station to Bearing Station, the area from Bangna intersection to the beginning of Bangna mainly consisted of commercial projects and businesses, such as the BITEC Exhibition and Convention Center, international schools, hospitals, shopping centers, hypermarkets, furniture stores, and grade B office buildings.

In terms of residential projects around the Bangna intersection and the beginning of Bangna, there are hardly any single-family homes along the roadside due to high land prices, which are reserved for commercial projects. The only condominiums available are small projects near Central Bangna.

However, after the extension of the On Nut-Bearing BTS line officially opened in 2011, Bangna regained its popularity and attracted more interest, especially after The Mall Group announced plans to invest in the Bangkok Mall project, which will be a comprehensive shopping, residential, and office complex covering over 100 rai opposite BITEC Bangna, officially announced in 2014.

This announcement from The Mall Group has created a transformative phenomenon at the Bangna intersection, making it a location to watch, coinciding with the ongoing extension of the Green Line BTS from Bearing to Samut Prakan, a distance of 13 kilometers, expected to be completed this year. This aligns with the future monorail route connecting Bangna to Suvarnabhumi Airport, supporting the area to become a prime location and new CBD immediately.

Currently, it is evident that the area along Sukhumvit Road from On Nut to Bangna intersection is a hotspot for numerous condominiums, especially around the Punnawithi and Udomsuk BTS stations, as these stations connect to Bangna-Trad Road and are close to traditional communities, office buildings, and community malls. This shows that the development of the extended BTS transportation system has made the Sukhumvit area closer to the city center than before.

“The Sky Sukhumvit” – A Prime Condo Location Next to Bangkok Mall

With the potential of the area set to develop further in the future, condominiums in this neighborhood are attracting interest from those looking for residences that allow easy access to the city center and the Eastern region.

Today, TerraBKK will take readers to explore a condominium project located just 400 meters from Udomsuk BTS Station, one of the locations at Bangna intersection, featuring the “The Sky Sukhumvit” project by Property Perfect Public Company Limited. This project stands out due to its location adjacent to the Bangkok Mall, covering an area of approximately 650,000 square meters. In the future, this project will benefit from a skywalk connecting Udomsuk Station to Bangna, making travel convenient and safe.

The “The Sky Sukhumvit” project is located on Sukhumvit Road, near Sukhumvit Soi 103/4, close to Bangna intersection. It features five buildings on approximately 9-3-66 rai of land, with Building A standing 26 stories tall and Buildings B to E at 22 stories, totaling 898 units. The highlight is the low density of units per floor, ranging from 6 to 11 units.

The parking area allows for stacked parking, accounting for about 60% of the total.

There are 3 types of rooms available:

  • 1 Bedroom: 6 – 35 sq.m.
  • 2 Bedrooms: 4 – 52 sq.m.
  • Moff: 41 – 64 sq.m.

This project is designed with the concept of “All Dimensions of Living: Experience a Unique Lifestyle”. The project is located 300 meters away from Sukhumvit Road, helping to reduce noise and pollution from the main road. The buildings are designed to be modern, with varying heights, as most units in Buildings D and E will be Moff units with a ceiling height of 4.40 meters. Additionally, there are Pocket Gardens integrated into various floors of the buildings, with a total of over 4 rai of green space to provide residents with a pleasant environment and garden access.

The central area between the five buildings will feature two parking buildings, 9 and 11 stories high, with a swimming pool on top of both buildings measuring 16 x 20 meters and 1.2 meters deep, along with a jacuzzi and a view of the pool from the fitness room located on the upper floor.

The lobby atmosphere is decorated in white and blue tones, aligning with the project name The Sky, featuring a high ceiling and large windows for enjoying the view.

Summary of Amenities:

  • Lobby
  • Two saltwater swimming pools: 16 x 20 meters, 2 meters deep (on the roof of the 9-story parking building) and 18 x 20 meters, 1.2 meters deep (on the roof of the 11-story parking building)
  • Two fitness rooms
  • Gardens around the project
  • Indoor gardens (Pocket Gardens)
  • CCTV / Access Card system
  • Bedrooms with a ceiling height of 60 meters

Now, let's take a look at the sample rooms. Today, we will view two types of sample rooms: the Moff type, which features a ceiling height of 4.40 meters, providing additional loft space of about 8-10 sq.m. (approximately 25% of the room area), allowing residents to customize the functionality as they wish. The sample room is decorated with gold accents on white furniture, giving a luxurious feel. The room is divided into three sections: a kitchen and dining area near the stairs leading to the loft, with a kitchen suitable for light meal preparation, as it is not a closed kitchen. However, the project includes a recirculating air hood, a two-burner electric stove, and a sink, with a lower counter that opens to a trash bin.

Next to the kitchen is the bathroom, with granite tiles on the floor and walls, and fixtures. There is space for toiletries on the side, and a cabinet below. The bathroom is divided into wet and dry areas with a glass partition.

The living room and bedroom feature light-colored laminate flooring, with large windows leading to the balcony.

In the bedroom, the window is approximately 3 meters wide, and the project will install heat-resistant film for customers.

Included furniture consists of a kitchen counter, electric stove, hood, sink, digital door lock, glass shower partition, video door phone, wallpaper, rain shower fixtures, and 1-3 air conditioning units depending on room size.

The other sample room is a 1-bedroom unit with a standard ceiling height of 2.60 meters, decorated in a modern style with a dining table and living area. This room has a clearly defined glass partition in the kitchen, allowing for real cooking. Behind the living room is the bedroom and bathroom, which can accommodate a 5-foot bed, a TV shelf, and a wardrobe, but the space is somewhat limited.

The project is now completed and has residents, but the area beside and behind the building remains open, preparing for the construction of Bangkok Mall, which may partially obstruct views to the south and east. Currently, the entrance to the project is from Sukhumvit Road, and in the future, there are plans to create an exit on the other side for residents to access the Bangkok Mall.

For transportation, if not using a car, it is quite convenient as it is about 400 meters from Udomsuk Station, allowing for a walk to the BTS. The project offers a shuttle bus service to transport residents from the building to the project entrance, approximately 300 meters away.

For those driving, the project is adjacent to Sukhumvit Road; if heading towards the city, it’s just a short distance to Asoke, except during peak hours when traffic can be congested, especially during events at BITEC. If you need to head towards Samut Prakan, the travel time is also relatively short. The project is close to the Bangna expressway, which can help avoid traffic or shorten travel time into the city.

Nearby Important Locations:

  • Bangkok Mall ~ 0 meters
  • BITEC Bangna ~ 500 meters
  • Udomsuk Market ~ 500 meters

In summary, The Sky Sukhumvit is a project suitable for those seeking a condominium not far from the BTS line, with convenient transportation. It is acceptable to live a little further from the city center, but in the future, it will offer greater convenience with a large shopping center opening right next to the project.
