Major Development Unveils Mixed-Use Project Trends in the New Normal

"Major Tower" and "Metris" Rama 9 - Ramkhamhaeng

Awarded by Asia Pacific Property Awards

Major Development has introduced trends for mixed-use projects in the New Normal, highlighting the Interchange station as a prime location. They are showcasing "Major Tower Rama 9 - Ramkhamhaeng" as a pioneering Agile Workplace office model post-COVID-19, featuring spacious areas designed for all work functions, along with glass buildings offering panoramic views in the Extended Business District. The location provides convenient access to three high-potential electric train lines at competitive prices, guaranteed by the Asia Pacific Property Awards 2020-2021 in the Mixed Use Architecture category.

Ms. Phetlada Phunworalak, Executive Director of Major Development Public Company Limited (MJD), stated that developing mixed-use projects is akin to creating a small city. As consumer behavior shifts towards the New Normal, the trend for mixed-use developments, which include office buildings and residential areas, is evolving as follows: 1. Expansion into the Extended Business District for greater flexibility and spaciousness, along with cost-effectiveness in rental rates. 2. Proximity to New Interchange stations, which enhances mobility for both office workers and residents (end users) in traveling to various destinations. 3. Facilities supporting Agile Workplace environments, where office spaces are designed for flexible usage without fixed desks, emphasizing collaboration and idea-sharing among employees.

“Major Development recognizes the potential of the Rama 9 - Ramkhamhaeng area as an Extended Business District due to its comprehensive transportation infrastructure. It will soon be another New Interchange in Bangkok, connecting the orange, yellow, and brown electric train lines. Therefore, we are developing mixed-use projects comprising condominiums and rental office buildings, namely Metris Rama 9 - Ramkhamhaeng and Major Tower Rama 9 - Ramkhamhaeng, located on a major road with convenient access via the Airport Rail Link at Ramkhamhaeng station, just 600 meters away, and close to the orange line and MRT station at Ramkhamhaeng 12, only 300 meters away, with a total project value exceeding 5 billion baht,” Ms. Phetlada added.

Recently, the mixed-use project at Rama 9 - Ramkhamhaeng, which includes the condominium project Metris Rama 9 - Ramkhamhaeng and the rental office project Major Tower Rama 9 - Ramkhamhaeng, has received the Asia Pacific Property Awards 2020-2021 in the Mixed Use Architecture category.

The project features a design by a world-renowned architectural firm, characterized by a simple yet detailed architectural style, blending vertical lines and geometric shapes, with an open layout that allows for 360-degree views and comprehensive amenities, including ample green spaces.

The Major Tower Rama 9 - Ramkhamhaeng office building is situated in the Rama 9 - Ramkhamhaeng area, designed as a new mixed-use building with 27 floors, comprising office spaces and retail areas, with approximately 1,200 square meters of office space per floor and a total rental area of about 25,181 square meters. It has been designed to accommodate all types of usage from the outset, whether for meeting rooms, collaborative workspaces, or relaxation areas, including pantry spaces, all within a glass-enclosed building offering 360-degree views on every floor, providing a spacious and luxurious feel, with green gardens for relaxation or a change of work atmosphere, along with security systems, CCTV, EV charger stations, and a free shuttle service to the nearest electric train station, making it the dream office for the new generation that meets quality work needs. **Currently, the construction project is completed and ready for lease.
