How to Make the World Remember You ... Live at "Rise Phahol-Inthamara"

Condo in the Heart of Phaholyothin Starting at 2.89 Million Baht

Currently, condominiums located in areas with convenient access to all modes of transportation, such as private cars and public transport, are among the top factors influencing purchasing decisions. This is especially true for locations near major BTS lines, such as the Green Line, which has seen continuous price increases. Many people opt for condominiums slightly further from the BTS stations that are more affordable but still within a comfortable distance to access the stations. The Phahol-Inthamara area is one such location that meets these commuting needs well, as it is conveniently close to the Saphan Khwai BTS Station and three expressways: Uttaraphimuk Expressway, Si Rat Expressway, and Chaloem Mahanakorn Expressway.

Additionally, this area is ranked as a prime investment location due to the continuous demand for housing from workers in nearby job hubs like Ari-Jatujak-Vibhavadi-Ladprao, which can be connected by the Green Line currently under construction and expected to open in 2019. TerraBKK will elaborate on why Phahol-Inthamara is always in demand for housing.

Rich in Job Opportunities with Over 388,000 sq.m.

            Many may already know that the Green Line areas are significant job hubs in Bangkok, but they might not realize that the Phaholyothin area, particularly around the Green Line stations from Ari-Saphan Khwai-Jatujak, has over 388,000 sq.m. of office space, making it the largest job hub along the upper Green Line. There has been continuous growth in rental office buildings, with three new office buildings opening in 2017: Pearl Bangkok, Ari Hills, and SC Tower, adding 52,000 sq.m. of new office space. These new buildings have garnered significant interest, especially SC Tower, which was fully leased even before opening, demonstrating the density of job opportunities in this area.

Moreover, this area hosts the headquarters of several leading companies, such as Pruksa Real Estate, Government Savings Bank, Kasikorn Bank, TMB Bank, BTS Group, Thai Airways, Bangkok Airways, and PTT. It is also home to several important government institutions, including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Science and Technology, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, Office of the Auditor General, and the Bangkok Metropolitan Transport Office. If we estimate the number of employees and personnel working in this area, it is projected to exceed 30,000, comprising quality personnel with stable incomes.

With such a dense job market, the demand for housing naturally follows. If you are looking for a condominium near the Green Line BTS and expressways at an affordable price of just 120,000 Baht/sq.m., TerraBKK recommends the recently launched RISE Phahol-Inthamara, located at the entrance of Soi Inthamara 4 on Sutthisan Winitchai Road, easily accessible from both Vibhavadi Rangsit Road and Phaholyothin Road, making it very convenient for private car travel. A standout feature of this project, rare in this area, is its 40-story high-rise condominium, the tallest in the vicinity, with prices starting at 2.89 million Baht*, suitable for both personal residence and rental, as it is close to workplaces, hospitals, educational institutions, and shopping malls—all in one place.

To reach the RISE Phahol-Inthamara, you can take two routes: via Sutthisan Winitchai Road from Vibhavadi Rangsit Road, approximately 850 meters, or from Phaholyothin Road, about 570 meters. You can also connect to three expressways: Uttaraphimuk Expressway (Sutthisan), Si Rat Expressway (Kamphaeng Phet), and Chaloem Mahanakorn Expressway (Din Daeng). Additionally, there is a shuttle bus service to the BTS Saphan Khwai. For those who prefer to travel by MRT, the Jatujak MRT station is only about 2.3 km from the project, and there are public transport options and motorcycle taxis available at all times.

Regarding amenities around the project, this area is filled with shopping centers and lifestyle hubs, ranging from luxury malls to fun night markets, such as Central Plaza Ladprao, Union Mall, Big C Saphan Khwai, Chatuchak Market, JJ Mall, JJ Green, Villa Ari, and Aqua Project. There are also many multi-brand stores that gather products from various brands, making shopping in this area even more enjoyable.

Furthermore, the area is surrounded by leading educational institutions and hospitals. Nearby schools include University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce, Kasetsart University, Rajamangala University of Technology Tawan-ok, Surasak Montri School, and Hua Mak School. Hospitals in the area include Paolo Memorial Hospital Saphan Khwai, Vibhavadi Hospital, Phyathai 2 Hospital, and Veterans Hospital.

Due to the comprehensive nature of this location for all aspects of life, condominiums in this area have seen a continuous increase in average price per square meter every year. According to All Inspire, the developer of this project, the average price per square meter in this area has increased by 10% annually, especially around the BTS Saphan Khwai station, where the average price per square meter has risen by 13% annually, the highest among other stations in Phaholyothin. Additionally, new projects priced at 110,000-120,000 Baht/sq.m. are scarce, with approximately 60-70% already sold. Furthermore, if purchased for rental, the return on investment is 5-7% per year, while resale can yield returns of 30-40%.

Now, let’s take a look at the Rise Phahol-Inthamara project, which is the first high-rise condominium from All Inspire, following their successful projects under the The Excel brand in various locations. The Rise Phahol-Inthamara consists of 40 floors with a total of 384 units, with room sizes ranging from 25 sq.m. to 122 sq.m., including Studio, 1 Bedroom, 1 Bedroom Extra, 2 Bedroom, and Duplex types. Most units in the project are 1 Bedroom types, designed for comfortable living within a well-laid-out 31 sq.m. space.

Architectural Design that Stands Out and Exceeds Expectations

            The highlight of the Rise Phahol-Inthamara project is its cutting-edge design by ATOM, known for their work on Ashton Asoke. This project features the concept of Iconic Blade Skyscrapers, with levels 20-34 designed as the Iconic Rising Garden, a tiered garden area that allows residents on floors 20-34 to enjoy a private relaxation space.

            Once completed, this building will be the tallest in the area and will become another landmark in Phahol-Inthamara. Anyone who appreciates design-focused condominiums should not miss Rise Phahol-Inthamara.

But that’s not all; let’s dive into the extensive common areas that offer great value for money.

Fully Equipped Common Areas with Unforgettable City Views

 

With the building's height reaching 40 stories, residents can fully enjoy the views. The design incorporates common areas on the top floors, including an Infinity Edge Design swimming pool for a seamless swimming experience, Sky Fitness, and a Panoramic Stream Room with large glass windows facing north, offering views of the green areas from Chatuchak Park. The Rising Star Terrace, designed as a lounge and relaxation area, is available for residents on floors 35-36 and 39-40, ensuring no other buildings in the area can obstruct their views.

            In addition to the special features on the top floors, the lower levels of the building from floors 2-8 are designated as Auto Parking for residents, accommodating up to 60%. This is the first time All Inspire has implemented this system in a project, which has become a new standard for modern condominiums.

 

            Now let’s look inside the units. The Sale Gallery currently showcases two sample units: a 1 Bedroom of 31 sq.m. and a 1 Bedroom Extra of 37.5 sq.m., which are the highlights of the project.

Two Customizable Styles

            The first unit we will explore is the most spacious in the project. This type is divided into two styles, differing in balcony placement. The first style places the balcony in the living room, allowing the bedroom to have space for a work desk. The second style places the balcony in the bedroom, moving the work desk to the living room instead. Both functions depend on personal preference—whether one prefers a larger bedroom or living room, based on individual lifestyles.

            Upon entering the unit, you will find the kitchen first, with the bathroom on the left, separated into wet and dry areas. The kitchen is designed as a closed kitchen with sliding doors between the kitchen and living room, and another sliding door separating the living room from the bedroom for privacy (the Sale team hinted that the actual units will feature four sliding doors for added convenience). In the bedroom, a 5-foot bed can fit comfortably, making this type suitable for 1-2 residents, as it provides a reasonable level of privacy despite being a one-bedroom unit.

 

1 Bedroom 31 sq.m.

More Spacious, Larger, More Comfortable

            Now let’s look at the second type, which is a 1 Bedroom with an additional small Extra room, suitable for two residents. The extra room can be used as a workspace or a small guest bedroom. The special feature that the project team mentioned is that the wall of the Extra room can be removed to expand it into a larger bedroom, depending on individual usage.

            Upon entering this unit, you will also find the kitchen first, with a sliding door separating it from the living room. The bathroom is located at the front, similar in size to the 1 Bedroom unit. Notably, all unit types in this project are designed with closed kitchens, preventing cooking odors from disturbing the living and bedroom areas.

1 Bedroom Extra 37.5 sq.m.

The design of the units in the Rise Phahol-Inthamara project is commendable, especially for two residents who sometimes need privacy. Each unit type is separated by sliding doors to allow for shared living or separation, depending on individual lifestyles.

The project features cutting-edge design with extravagant common areas located in the city ... What do you think all of this costs?

2.89 million Baht is the starting price for a 1-bedroom unit, averaging about 120,000 Baht per square meter, which is significantly lower than the market price in the area, where other projects sell for around 140,000-150,000 Baht per sq.m. This is a great deal for a location in the heart of Phaholyothin, ideal for those working in the Ari-Saphan Khwai area looking for a reasonably priced condominium. Don’t wait too long, as I’ve heard that nearly 500 people have already reserved their rights to choose units.

What should you prepare for the reservation day?

For a 1-bedroom unit, prepare a reservation + contract fee of 50,000 Baht

For a 2-bedroom unit, prepare a reservation + contract fee of 80,000 Baht

Oh, and you don’t need to bring cash, as the project accepts payments via QR Code for your convenience.

If anyone is interested in the Rise Phahol-Inthamara project, it will officially open for reservations on June 23 at the Sale Gallery located at the project site, or you can register for special privileges at http://bit.ly/2taYBLF
