•       Overlooking Lumpini Park and connected by a sky garden, the ultra-luxurious Dusit Residences and stylish Dusit Parkside will attract premium group of investors.

•       Breath-taking residences build upon Dusit’s “Always Gracious” service ethos, which has become popular among guests at hotels in Thailand and the Middle East.

Dusit International, Thailand’s most distinguished hospitality company, has unveiled a once-in-a-generation real estate project that is set to redefine the skyline of central Bangkok. Created in partnership with Central Pattana PCL, the leading retail and real estate company, this inspiring integrated development will provide an unprecedented opportunity for Middle Eastern investors to become part of the rich history and heritage of Thailand. 

Dusit Central Park is a spectacular new landmark that is currently rising at the most prestigious site in the Thai capital. Set on 3.7 hectares of super-premium CBD land previously occupied the Dusit Thani Bangkok hotel, this THB 46 billion (AED 4.7 bn/USD 1.38 bn) integrated development will comprise two breath-taking branded residences – Dusit Residences and Dusit Parkside – plus a high-end retail mall, five-star hotel and Grade A office tower, all designed in a sustainable manner in accordance with the principles of feng shui, and connected by a stunning Roof Park that overlooks the city and Lumpini Park.

Standing 69 storeys high at the intersection of Silom and Rama IV roads, on the doorstep of Bangkok’s most prominent business and entertainment districts, these residences will become iconic addresses, akin to the apartments that surround Central Park in New York City and Hyde Park in London. Two distinct living concepts are available, suited to diverse urban lifestyles:

Dusit Residences will comprise 160 ultra-luxurious units, ranging in size from 120-750 square metres. Located on the 30th to 69th floors, these refined residences exude timeless grace while embracing the exclusive ambience and amenities of a private family home, with large living spaces and close connections to the city. 

Dusit Parkside will feature 246 smart and stylish units, ranging in size from 55-115 square metres and located on the 9th to 29th floors. Curated for the new generation of affluent urban professionals and young families, these contemporary interiors and state-of-the-art amenities will be influenced by their proximity to this vibrant metropolis.

Residents of both zones will breathe clean air thanks to advanced HEPA filtration systems, while a wide range of facilities such as a swimming pool, jet pool, children’s pool, fitness centre, steam room, sauna, library lounge, private dining room and outdoor deck will create a deep sense of community. Exclusive 24/7 access to the five-star amenities of the new Dusit Thani Hotel, such as concierge, limousine and spa services, will ensure an unmistakable Thai touch. Seamlessly weaving these elements together will be the Roof Park, an awe-inspiring 11,200-square metre sky garden that ascends 20 metres to the seventh floor. With its verdant lawns, water features and lush foliage, this enchanting area will appear to merge into the green expanse of Lumpini Park. 

Located at the intersection of Silom and Rama IV roads, where the vibrant districts of Silom, Sukhumvit and Sathorn converge, Dusit Central Park’s prime position is further enhanced with direct connectivity to the BTS skytrain and MRT subway networks, plus access to Bangkok’s network of elevated urban expressways, putting the entire city and airports within easy reach.

This December, Mrs. Suphajee Suthumpun, Group CEO of Dusit Thani PCL, will visit Expo 2020 in Dubai to showcase this spectacular project to potential investors. She will join the company’s established Dubai-based GCC team, which is led by Mr. Prateek Kumar, Regional Vice President EMEA (Europe, Middle East & Africa) and General Manager of Dusit Thani Dubai.

Mrs. Suphajee Suthumpun, Group Chief Executive Officer of Dusit Thani PCL, said: “It gives me great pleasure to introduce our distinguished clients in the Middle East to Dusit Central Park, one of the most important real estate projects in Thailand’s history. Rising from the very heart of Bangkok, this new landmark will stand as a symbol of the nation for generations to come. The chance to create history does not come along very often, and we are deeply honoured to accept this responsibility. 

“This December, our GCC and corporate teams will be attending Expo 2020 to meet with many of our respected Middle Eastern partners. This inspiring event shows how different cultures can work together in harmony and learn from each other. We hope to be able to bring the World Expo’s spirit of collaboration and mutual understanding into our projects, including Dusit Central Park,” Mrs. Suphajee added.

Since it was founded 70 years ago, Dusit International has achieved an enduring reputation for bringing warm and heartfelt Thai hospitality to the world. The company is fully committed to the Middle East market, with a growing regional portfolio of eight exceptional properties in the UAE, Qatar, Oman and Egypt, and three more in the pre-opening phase, located in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and the UAE. 

Having first entered the region in 2001 with the opening of Dusit Thani Dubai, the group’s expansion has accelerated in recent years with the launch of Dusit Thani Abu Dhabi in 2013, dusitD2 Kenz Dubai in 2016 and Dusit Thani LakeView Cairo in 2018. Then in 2020, dusit D2Salwa Doha, Dusit Doha and Dusit Princess Dubai Marina Residence in 2020 all opened their doors, and most recently in 2021, dusit d2 Jabal Akhdar Oman started welcoming guests. 

Dusit’s collection of 16 outstanding hotels and resorts in Thailand are also highly popular with Middle Eastern guests, who love visiting the kingdom and appreciate in the group’s “Always Gracious” service.

Dusit Central Park is being jointly created by Dusit Thani PCL, which owns or manages over 320 hotels and resorts across 16 countries, and Central Pattana PCL, a Thai regional property developer which owns and operates 34 shopping centres and mixed-used projects. Construction work is already underway and the residences are on track for completion in 2025.
