Why it stands out

Kerry Hill architecture, ageing well

Kerry Hill designed some of Asia's most admired resorts. The tower's calm proportions, screens and water courts still feel current more than a decade later, which is not true of many buildings from the same period.

Freehold, conventional parking, moderate fees

It is freehold, parking is conventional rather than automated, and the reported common fee of about ฿80 per sq.m is far below the newer branded towers. For long-term owners, that difference adds up every year.

Space and facilities

Two-bedroom homes start at about 113 sq.m. Residents share a 50-metre lap pool, gym, sauna and steam, yoga studio, tennis court, rooftop lounge, library and gardens, with a 24-hour concierge.

Kathy's view: one of the best value-for-quality addresses in central Bangkok: freehold, real parking, sensible fees and timeless design. The trade-offs: it is about 14 years old, so check the condition of each unit and recent renovations; it is a walk to the MRT rather than on top of it; and pets generally need management approval. Resale prices have risen only modestly since launch, which can be an opportunity for buyers.
