If you mention the name ‘API Town’, it might not sound familiar, as this is a new flagship brand from the major real estate developer ‘AP Thailand’ that is venturing into provincial real estate.

In the past, AP has been one of the leading real estate companies known for its expertise in selecting high-potential locations, whether in the city or provinces. Similarly, API Town is not only located in the heart of urban development but also close to shopping centers and conveniences suitable for living. Its two main strengths are homes designed to meet the needs and behaviors of people in each province and the incorporation of technology to enhance living experiences. After successfully launching in Nakhon Si Thammarat, Rayong, and Khon Kaen, API Town is now expanding into Ayutthaya and Chiang Rai.

So why choose ‘Ayutthaya’ and ‘Chiang Rai’? What makes these places special?

‘Ayutthaya’ - A Historical City and Industrial Hub in the Heart of the Country

          ‘Ayutthaya’ is well-known as an ancient capital and a popular tourist destination near Bangkok, accessible year-round. However, Ayutthaya's potential goes beyond that; it is also one of the top industrial cities in the country, becoming a central hub for job opportunities with three major industrial estates and three additional industrial zones, including the Battery Land Industrial Estate (Wang Noi), and the Rojana Industrial Parks 1 and 2.

          These factors contribute to Ayutthaya's economic growth in tourism alongside industrial production. It is noteworthy that Ayutthaya has a GDP ranking within the top 5 in Thailand, attracting both Thai and foreign investors, leading to rapid growth in the real estate development sector due to its significant job market.

          In addition to its historical significance and industrial area, Ayutthaya's future potential is set to expand significantly due to various mega-project investments from both the public and private sectors, such as:



● The high-speed train project connecting Ayutthaya to the EEC (Bangkok – Nakhon Ratchasima, completion in 2023) will link to the Eastern Economic Corridor.

● The Bangkok – Bang Pa-in motorway (completed in 2020) will enhance travel efficiency.

● The new urban planning of Ayutthaya aims to maximize land use and prevent flooding issues.

● Large-scale public utilities from the LPH hospital group, which will open two locations in Ayutthaya (services starting in 2021).

● Central Plaza Ayutthaya, a flagship shopping center that will create a new phenomenon in Ayutthaya.

          Each of these projects is located near API Town Ayutthaya, the new project by AP that has secured land in Ayutthaya, just 1 kilometer from Central Ayutthaya, 6 kilometers from the high-speed train station, and 15 minutes from the Bangkok – Bang Pa-in motorway. The mega-project transportation systems and the arrival of new urban planning in Ayutthaya will facilitate travel connections by road, rail, and air, linking cities and people, leading to the development of various infrastructures within the city, such as schools, hospitals, hotels, and tourist attractions, becoming essential components of the new city upgrade in line with government policies.

          From the perspective of residents in this high-potential location (including future residents of API Town Ayutthaya), not only is the commute to Bangkok less than an hour, but traveling to neighboring cities is also quick and easy. The most significant benefit is living in the heart of urban convenience comparable to Bangkok, close to the large job market that will emerge in the future, a factor that grows alongside the city, while still surrounded by amenities that blend the tranquility of Ayutthaya, conducive to a quality lifestyle, making it a desirable place to live.

‘Chiang Rai’ - A Tourist City and Investment Hub

 

          If we compare ‘Ayutthaya’ as the third sibling of Bangkok, ‘Chiang Rai’ would be no different, only with a different character, being more tranquil and hipster. With its climate, atmosphere, environment, lifestyle, and unique cultural heritage, Chiang Rai can be considered one of the City of Art in Thailand.

          Chiang Rai is listed as a world-class tourist destination that international travelers must visit, resulting in urban and economic expansion, including transportation systems that facilitate tourism and migration for both Thai and foreign residents. This has led to a booming housing market and real estate sector, almost on par with Bangkok. In the future, Chiang Rai is expected to have numerous mega-projects that will be crucial in driving real estate investment, such as:



● Double-track railway Den Chai - Chiang Rai - Chiang Khong (completion in 2023) will enhance the growth of the city expanding towards the eastern ring of Chiang Rai.
● Chiang Mai - Chiang Rai motorway (completion in 2025)
● Superhighway project from Chiang Mai - Lampang - Phayao - Chiang Rai, covering 185 kilometers, will make travel to major cities in the north more convenient and faster.

          All of this, along with existing popular tourist attractions, public utilities, and shopping centers in Chiang Rai, paints a picture of a city with high growth potential and significant future development. This makes Chiang Rai a city that will attract numerous businesspeople and investors, as well as young people who see opportunities in this investable city, whether in land prices or housing that are expected to rise or in seeking investment avenues in various businesses beyond its role as a tourist city.

          At the same time, Chiang Rai does not lose its identity as a livable city, as it has often been described as a dream city where many wish to retire, comparable to Chiang Mai. With its atmosphere and city policies promoting health, combined with the investment in various infrastructures mentioned earlier, it will further enhance the potential of many areas. The arrival of mega-projects will attract various public utilities that facilitate quality living, which will help elevate Chiang Rai as a city that improves residents' quality of life. Therefore, it is no surprise that AP has chosen to establish API Town Chiang Rai here.

Standard Innovative Homes from AP: A New Level of Living Happiness

          The arrival of API Town Ayutthaya and API Town Chiang Rai comes with the DNA of AP, aiming to create standard innovative homes.

          With over 3 decades of experience in developing urban housing, AP understands the design of every square meter in homes to create a new standard that elevates every living experience. With modern-style home designs and contemporary communal areas, in high-potential locations, these homes will embody standard innovations (MODERNIZED STANDARDS).

          The definition of standard innovative homes by AP is not just about using luxurious materials or cutting-edge technology, but about nurturing happiness in every moment of living. It is the starting point of inspiration and energy in everyday life, aiming for a higher standard of quality of life where residents can easily access prosperity and public utilities, discover new opportunities, and take pride in welcoming family and friends to their homes.

The key components of standard innovative homes in the AP style must include three main elements:

● The Gold Standards: Comprising world-class systems and innovations, quality tested nationwide by experienced experts from AP
● Modernized Development: Modern home prototypes in both design and function, urban-style communal areas, making life easier with innovations and technology
● Epic Center of Urbanization: Every project must be in a prosperous area, making it a worthwhile investment.

Standard innovative homes = Convenience + Safety + Privacy

When aiming to create standard innovative homes, AP understands that the essential needs of residents are privacy and safety. Therefore, API Town pays attention to fulfilling these two aspects.

  1. Privacy in Details

● Every API Town project emphasizes private communal area designs that meet the actual usage needs of customers, such as a Private Swimming Pool designed to be secluded from public view, with green spaces that effectively create privacy.

● The design of the houses understands the lifestyle of modern people, offering various functions that make API Town homes stand out and different, such as a Private Living Room on the second floor, separating it from the Living Room on the first floor, or a Master Bedroom designed with an en-suite bathroom and a Walk-in Closet, akin to a homeowner's penthouse, enhancing privacy with in-room bathrooms for every bedroom.

2. Security & Convenience

● SMART WORLD: API Town comes with a digital platform to manage the quality of life after moving into the project, providing a new experience that enhances living standards through comprehensive functions covering all aspects of living, ensuring safety through the KATSAN feature, an intelligent innovation that offers more than just safety, but also peace of mind and convenience.

● UNIVERSAL DESIGN: API Town designs communal areas without level differences, catering to the convenience of all ages, whether for young children or elderly family members.

● KID SAFETY ZONE: A designated area for children away from main roads, with rubber flooring to cushion falls.

● MOTION SENSOR: Automatic lighting in stairwells for safety, helping to prevent accidents at night.
