RML, a leader in luxury and ultra-luxury real estate development, has unveiled the 'OCC (One City Centre)' project for the first time. This luxury Grade A+ office building stands at 61 stories, reaching a height of 275.76 meters, making it the tallest in Thailand. This major project is a joint venture with Mitsubishi Estate, one of Japan's leading real estate developers, with an investment value of 8.8 billion baht. Designed under the concept 'REIMAGINE YOUR WORLD', it aims to be a Happy Workplace and Lifestyle Destination, establishing itself as a new global hub. The building boasts a prime location adjacent to the BTS Ploenchit station, with a direct sky bridge connection, and features a large urban park with over 5,000 square meters of green space. Additionally, the highlight is the Sky Bar on the top floor, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the city, which has quickly become a new hotspot for Ploenchit residents. The leasing response has been overwhelmingly positive, with over 70% of office and retail space already booked. We are confident that once the sky bridge is completed, we will achieve full occupancy by early next year.

Mr. Korn Narongdej CEO of RML (Raimon Land Public Company Limited) stated, “The office building market in 2023 is expected to continue improving. According to CBRE, in the first quarter of this year, the total office leasing space in Bangkok reached 9.38 million square meters, with 400,000 square meters of Grade A+ office space in the Central Business District (CBD) and 900,000 square meters of Grade A office space in the CBD. Additionally, there are 520,000 square meters of Grade A office space outside the CBD. It is evident that the supply of Grade A+ office space is the lowest, while demand continues to rise. Therefore, RML sees an opportunity to launch the OCC luxury Grade A+ office project, which is set for a full launch on July 1, 2023, a timely response to current market demand.”

“OCC is developed under the concept 'REIMAGINE YOUR WORLD', a significant business and lifestyle landmark in the heart of Ploenchit, designed to cater to a new way of living that combines work and lifestyle seamlessly. With a comprehensive approach, OCC currently has a rental rate of approximately 1,500 baht per square meter and has received an overwhelming response, with around 70% of office and retail space leased. This includes 80% from globally recognized companies and 20% from well-known Thai firms. Notable tenants who have signed leases include Mitsubishi Estate, Mitsubishi Heavy, Mitsubishi Power, Marubeni, JustCo, CBRE, Amadeus, Cortina Watch, and Kokuyo. Additionally, retail outlets set to open in the second quarter include DEAN & DELUCA, Au Bon Pain, %Arabica, Ksana, BLK.BOBA, Focaficial, and Lawson. Furthermore, the Sky Bar on the 61st floor and a restaurant on the 58th floor, which offer a new experience, are scheduled to open in the fourth quarter, along with the Kinnie Food court featuring various renowned restaurants at affordable prices. We are confident that once the sky bridge is completed, it will drive the occupancy rate of OCC to full capacity by early 2024, and after the full operation of OCC, RML expects a 15-25% increase in recurring revenue within the next 3-5 years, ensuring sustainable financial growth for RML in the long term,”Mr. Korn added.
