Holme Ekkamai: The Tranquility of Living Amidst Ekkamai Lifestyle

 

Get to Know Ekkamai Better: Who is Ekkamai 3 Zones Suitable For?

            When we talk about Sukhumvit Soi 63, commonly known as “Ekkamai Area”, we often picture a place filled with Japanese-style shopping spots and chill drinking venues. Ekkamai Road is one of the few wide 4-lane roads in Sukhumvit, directly connecting to Phetchaburi-Rama 9, making Ekkamai a rapidly developing zone. If we delve deeper into Ekkamai, we can categorize it into three zones based on the development of buildings:

     1. Ekkamai North: Residential Zone

Ekkamai, leaning towards Phetchaburi, primarily consists of low-rise residential areas with various restaurants and services. This zone is mainly residential, creating a peaceful atmosphere. Ekkamai North connects to Thonglor and Phra Khanong on both sides, linking to Thonglor via Soi Jamjan and Soi Ekkamai 19, or if heading towards Phra Khanong to avoid traffic, one can use Soi Pridi Panomyong 41. It is suitable for family living, offering tranquility along with numerous international and leading private schools catering to all demographics.

     2. Ekkamai Central: Hangout Zone

This part of Ekkamai directly connects to Thonglor and Phra Khanong via the same road, leading to an expansion of hangout spots from Thonglor into Ekkamai during this central zone. It can be considered the entertainment hub of Ekkamai, making the atmosphere here livelier than in other zones.

     3. Ekkamai South: Lifestyle Zone

This zone is well-known as it is close to the BTS station and within walking distance. Ekkamai South is popular among Gen Y residents who come to enjoy trendy cafes or seek co-working spaces, providing everything one needs. Therefore, Ekkamai South is a zone with a constant flow of people, also home to Parklane Community Mall and Big C Ekkamai.

The Investment Appeal of Ekkamai: No Need to Always Be Near BTS

            Although Ekkamai is divided into three zones with different uses, many may consider the pricing. Naturally, Ekkamai South, being closest to the BTS, has higher selling prices and rents than the other zones. However, in terms of investment, the differences among the three zones are not significant. Even if properties are farther from the BTS, the rental income may be lower, but the costs are also lower due to the lower prices. TerraBKK has collected data on selling prices and rents across all three zones and found that while the selling prices and rents differ, the rental yield per year is not vastly different. Thus, one can choose to invest in any zone with similar returns, depending on budget and personal style preferences.

Ekkamai North has second-hand condominium prices around 82,000-120,000 THB per square meter, with rents approximately 400-600 THB per square meter, yielding a rental return of about 4.8-5.7% per year.

Ekkamai Central has second-hand condominium prices around 110,000-150,000 THB per square meter, with rents approximately 500-750 THB per square meter, yielding a rental return of about 4.4-6.3% per year.

Ekkamai South has second-hand condominium prices around 170,000-200,000 THB per square meter, with rents approximately 700-900 THB per square meter, yielding a rental return of about 4.6-6% per year.

            The Holme Ekkamai project is the latest development located in Soi Ekkamai 22, featuring an 8-story low-rise condominium with only 90 units available, offering three types of units:

  • 1 Bedroom, 1 Bathroom size 33.75-42.5 square meters
  • 2 Bedrooms, 2 Bathrooms size 60.5-77.25 square meters
  • Duplex size 66.5-101 square meters

 

5 Reasons to Choose Holme Ekkamai

            Although many may not be familiar with the Holme Ekkamai project yet, today TerraBKK will introduce you to this project with “5 Reasons to Choose Holme Ekkamai”

  1. Located in Ekkamai North: Quiet and Suitable for Living

The Holme Ekkamai project is situated in Soi Ekkamai 22, in Ekkamai North, which is a quiet area ideal for living. Currently, Soi Ekkamai 22 is home to large single-family houses, housing long-time residents of Ekkamai, with a few apartments scattered along the way. It is a location suitable for those seeking the Ekkamai Lifestyle while still wanting the tranquility of residential living.

  1. Connects to Both Phra Khanong and Thonglor

In addition to the peaceful living environment of Soi Ekkamai 22, transportation is equally convenient. Soi Ekkamai 22 can directly connect to Sukhumvit 71 or Phra Khanong. Alternatively, if coming from the Ekkamai side, crossing over to Soi Ekkamai 19, which is slightly adjacent, allows access to Thonglor, emerging right in the middle of Thonglor without encountering traffic from the beginning of the soi. Additionally, it provides easy access to the Rama 9-Phetchaburi area, a New CBD filled with A-B grade offices, making it suitable for those working in the Rama 9 area due to the convenient transportation.

  1. Maximum Privacy with Only 90 Units

In addition to the location's privacy, the project is designed to ensure maximum privacy for residents, with only 90 units available. It feels like living in a housing project. The building layout is designed so that even though there is one building, it is divided into two sides connected by a central garden on just the 3rd floor. From the 4th to the 8th floors, they are separated as if there are two buildings, meaning there are only 7 units per floor. Additionally, there are two elevators for each side, so during rush hours, residents do not have to worry about waiting long for the elevator or competing with other residents, resulting in a resident-to-elevator ratio of 22:1, which is considered one of the lowest densities in Ekkamai projects.

  1. The Only Condominium Project in Ekkamai North with Duplex Units

As mentioned earlier, the Holme Ekkamai project offers three types of units, but what’s interesting is the Duplex units sized 66.5-101 square meters, which is the only project in Ekkamai North offering Duplex units for sale. Among all the new projects launched, the majority of the supply consists of 1-bedroom units, making up about 70%, with no other project offering Duplex units in Ekkamai North. This presents a great opportunity for those who prefer Duplex living, suitable for small family living.

  1. Holme Ekkamai is the Best-Priced Condo in Ekkamai North

Finally, the most significant point is that the Holme Ekkamai project is the best-priced condominium in Ekkamai, starting at 118,000 THB per square meter (averaging around 155,000 THB per square meter for the entire project), while other projects are priced around 180,000-250,000 THB per square meter. Anyone looking to own a condominium in Ekkamai would typically need at least 5 million THB, but for the Holme Ekkamai project, the starting price is only 3.99 million THB.

Today, TerraBKK has brought some images of the project to share before the sales office opens. The project is designed under the concept of “Urban Tropical Greenery”, emphasizing the importance of landscape, creating an Oasis within the project to enhance tranquility and comfort for residents.

The bedrooms are decorated in warm tones, providing a comfortable and spacious feel, perfectly arranged.
