Majestic office building on Bangna-Trad supports international business expansion in the emerging commercial hub.
After the phenomenal success of “AIA Capital Center” and “AIA Sathorn Tower”, Thailand’s leading life insurance company AIA is launching its third premium office building, named “AIA East Gateway”. Billed as the first top-tier office building in the new prime location of Bangna-Trad Km. 4.5 Road, the property is only 20 minutes from Suvarnabhumi Airport.
Strategically located in eastern Bangkok’s new central business district (CBD) and conveniently connected to BTS Green Line, Yellow Line, Airport Rail Link as well as four expressway ramps (Motorway 7, Motorway 9, Burapha Withi Expressway, Chaloem Maha Nakhon Expressway), the 33-storey building on 10 rai of land is slated to open in the last quarter of 2022. Already the project is attracting domestic and international businesses looking to upgrade their offices to modern standard at competitive rent, while growing alongside the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC).
Mr. Johann Dutoit, Chief Investment Officer of AIA Thailand, revealed, “AIA Thailand has continued to invest in real estate in line with AIA Group’s vision to diversify its investment portfolio. AIA Thailand’s real estate investment will not only help to drive the Thai economy, but AIA East Gateway will also offer premium offices, retail space and facilities for a healthy lifestyle for office workers in Bangna, especially in the Next Normal era. AIA has been successful in the development of two premium office buildings; namely AIA Capital Center on Ratchadapisek Road and AIA Sathorn Tower in Bangkok’s Sathorn area. Currently, the occupancy rate of these two buildings is as high as 90 percent due to the high quality of the buildings, despite an economic slowdown amidst the COVID-19 outbreak that has dragged on for two years already. Spanning over more than 10 rai of land, AIA East Gateway will perfectly accommodate business expansions of Thai and foreign business groups in this emerging CBD location of Bangna”.
Certified gold level according to LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) and WELL Building Standard, AIA East Gateway is well equipped with environmentally-conscious design and state-of-the-art technology. Special features include triple-layered glass windows that protect against external heat, energy-saving LED lighting, automatic temperature control and premium indoor air quality.
Office occupants will enjoy unparalleled aesthetics, starting at the entrance with the 13-metre-high lobby. The excellence of the design is testified to by the Best Office Landscape Architectural Design Award at PropertyGuru Thailand Property Awards 2020.
Workspaces feature utmost flexibility, three-metre-high ceilings and column-free office layouts that optimise space management.
With almost 1,500 parking spaces, there’s no limit to the facilities AIA East Gateway offers. Highlights include five stories of retail experience, restaurants and cafés offering healthy and delicious foods and beverages, convenience stores, banks, co-working spaces and educational and fitness facilities – aimed at improving the work-life balance for our tenants.
Entering the new office era with a keen eye on healthy, community-oriented lifestyle enhancement, AIA East Gateway enshrines the future of vitality and wealth - a genuine reflection of AIA’s brand promise of “Healthier, Longer, Better Lives”, right down to the property’s own “AIA Vitality Zone.”
Everyone can enjoy the lush greenery of the rooftop organic vegetable garden and natural pond. Also featured are a salt-water swimming pool and 400-metre rooftop running track to relax and energize.
Ms. Roongrat Veeraparkkaroon, Managing Director of CBRE (Thailand) Co., Ltd., said, “Judging by its potential, prominence, and location in a business district, right on Bang Na – Trat Road KM4.5, AIA East Gateway is truly a new outstanding landmark. Its ceiling height is remarkably three meters high. Its modern design is also complemented by world-class energy-efficient technologies and green solutions. On top of that, AIA East Gateway will also feature a retail space, various parks, urban farming, and an exercise space. It, therefore, promises to answer well to the lifestyles of tenants who look for a quality office building and practical facilities for building users”.
