Banyan Tree Residence Kreston Hill is the first Branded Residence located near Khao Yai National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The project has received an excellent response after its grand launch recently, with a mega project valued at over 17 billion baht, a collaboration between Banyan Tree, a leading global hospitality group with numerous hotel brands, and Kreston Holding Co., Ltd., a top real estate developer in Thailand. The project is situated on 226 rai of land, surrounded by a tranquil 30-rai lake amidst beautiful hills, emphasizing the design concept of “Sophisticated Relaxation”. It aims to elevate the luxury living experience by harmoniously blending the beauty of nature with comfort and an upscale lifestyle. Owners of residences in Banyan Tree Residence Kreston Hill will enjoy exclusive privileges through the Banyan Tree's exclusive program, "The Sanctuary Club", which offers special benefits and discounts when using services within the Banyan Tree network worldwide. The project has now opened a sales gallery for interested parties to visit the show units.

Mr. Ho Kwang Ping, Chairman of Banyan Tree Group stated, “The demand for Branded Residences remains strong, driven by the needs of high-end buyers seeking spacious and private living spaces that align with the changing lifestyles post-COVID. The continuous growth of the luxury segment confirms the uniqueness and investment potential of our project. Banyan Tree Residence Kreston Hill offers a comprehensive elevated living experience, reinforcing Banyan Tree's commitment to creating the ultimate beautiful residences that cater to all forms of luxury lifestyles.”

In the first phase, the project offers 21 fully furnished 4-bedroom pool villas with an area of 435 sq.m. starting at 70 million baht, and 16 low-rise condominium buildings with 1, 2, and 3-bedroom units, including penthouses ranging from 64 to 295 sq.m. starting at 15 million baht. All residences are designed to harmonize with the beautiful nature.

Mr. Chayadit Hutanuwat, Chairman of Kreston Holding Co., Ltd. said, “Branded Residences are a growing trend in the global real estate market. According to a 2023 report by Knight Frank, the luxury Branded Residences market is expected to grow by 55% by 2026. We are partnering with Banyan Tree to create a masterpiece Luxury Branded Residence in Thailand. Recently, investing in Khao Yai real estate has proven to yield worthwhile returns, with land prices continuously rising. This project is located in a highly potential area, supported by the growth of Khao Yai and the development of significant infrastructure such as highways and high-speed rail in the future, providing convenient travel from Bangkok. As the first International Branded Residence in Khao Yai, Banyan Tree Residence Kreston Hill presents a valuable investment opportunity. Kreston Holding continues to develop high-quality real estate that not only meets the needs of residents but also offers worthwhile returns in the future.”

Mr. Stuart Reading, Managing Director of Banyan Tree Group's Real Estate Development stated, “This project meets the increasing demand for luxury real estate under the design concept of "Sophisticated Relaxation". Our master plan consists of pool villas surrounding a lake, along with low-rise condominiums amidst lush greenery for the privacy of residents. Each unit offers beautiful views of the tranquil lake and the stunning mountain range of the national park. The first phase of the project includes 21 villas and 16 luxury condominium buildings, expected to sell out by 2025.”

“Our pre-sale bookings have already reached 1 billion baht. For the second phase of the project, we will introduce an additional 13 pool villas and 18 luxury mid-rise condominiums, which are set to launch in 2025 and are expected to sell out by 2027,” Mr. Stuart Reading added.

The construction of the project will be divided into three phases: Phase 1 residential (2024–2026), hotel (2025–2027), and Phase 2 residential (2026–2028). Our sales gallery is now open for interested parties to visit, featuring show units for 1, 2, and 3-bedroom layouts.

Banyan Tree Residence Kreston Hill is designed under the concept of “Sophisticated Relaxation”, offering a luxurious atmosphere that emphasizes classic elegance, spaciousness, and harmony with nature. The design highlights the beauty of nature, creating a warm and comfortable feeling.

The residences are located in a nature-encircled area, offering stunning panoramic views. The color tones are chosen to suit the high-altitude environment, using shades of blue from the clouds in the upper zone and green from the misty forest in the lower zone. Additionally, wood and steel are used to create a contemporary design identity inspired by the true beauty of Khao Yai.

The design of the pool villas uses the concept of "Shades of Misty Forest", creating layered walls to provide privacy for each room, using shades of green from the misty forest to create a tranquil atmosphere. Each bedroom features a private, shaded terrace, while the living, dining, and kitchen areas are conveniently connected. Outside, there is a large swimming pool that allows residents to enjoy the beauty of the surrounding nature.

The condominiums are created under the theme "Shades of Sky Beyond Clouds", using the changing tones of the sky throughout the day for interior decoration to harmonize with the surrounding nature. Upper units use shades reflecting the blue of the sky, while lower units use the green of the misty forest. They offer 1-3 bedroom suites with a private relaxation atmosphere, including 3-bedroom suites with open-air pools that capture the beautiful views of the surrounding mountains. Additionally, lower units feature beautiful private gardens, and all units have spacious balconies with wide-angle views, providing residents with a peaceful and relaxing living experience.

“To create a harmonious experience with nature, Banyan Tree Residence Kreston Hill integrates feng shui principles into the design of the space and interiors, emphasizing the balance of the five elements: wood, fire, earth, metal, and water, each with unique properties and energies that promote the well-being of residents. Thosaporn Sritula, or 'Mor Chang', a Thai astrology and feng shui expert, stated, “The project's location has many positive factors, such as sufficient sunlight and good air circulation. According to feng shui beliefs, these elements help residents thrive. Sunlight represents positive energy (yang), believed to dispel negative energy (yin) to enhance family fortune. Additionally, for those looking to enhance wealth, it is recommended to choose properties with water views, whether it be a pool, sea, or lake, as water symbolizes wealth in feng shui.”

Owners of the project will enjoy exclusive membership in The Sanctuary Club, a signature program that offers numerous benefits, such as special discounts for stays at Banyan Tree properties worldwide, priority booking, early check-in, late check-out, and invitations through the Xperential Guest program to stay at resorts for trial periods before anyone else. These benefits can be utilized globally, including at Banyan Tree Khao Yai, Banyan Tree Bangkok, and many other locations worldwide, including resorts and hotels participating in the program in Greece, Cuba, the Maldives, Morocco, and more.
