Bangkok Surges into Ultra-Luxury Condo Arena, Challenging Dubai and Singapore

As high-net-worth demand accelerates, developers push Bangkok’s ultra-luxury condo standards to global levels

Bangkok is rapidly establishing itself as a major hub for ultra-luxury condominium development, with sales prices, architectural ambition, and international demand now comparable to those of Dubai and Singapore. Despite global economic headwinds, the segment catering to ultra-high-net-worth individuals has continued to attract interest and investment, reshaping the city’s skyline and real estate identity.

Over the past decade, new ultra-luxury launches in Bangkok—typically priced above 300,000 baht per square metre—have exceeded 6,600 units, with an aggregate development value above 205 billion baht, according to Colliers Thailand. The market, which cooled between 2019 and 2023 during the pandemic, rebounded strongly in 2024 with 958 new luxury units launched, and developers project more than 1,000 additional units between late 2025 and 2026.

Record-setting prices are already being posted: the Porsche Design Tower Bangkok, branded with international prestige, has seen units priced in excess of 1.4 billion baht—a signal that price ceilings are being pushed upward. The expectations of buyers now stretch beyond mere finishes, demanding experiential luxury, identity branding, and global status.

The most sought-after addresses remain in Sukhumvit, Thonglor, Wireless Road, Chidlom, and Sathorn, all of which offer unmatched access to luxury amenities, international schools, high-end retail, and transport infrastructure. In addition, riverside developments such as The Residences at Mandarin Oriental and Banyan Tree Residences Riverside are drawing buyers seeking exclusivity, panoramic views, and privacy. Fringe zones including Ekkamai, On Nut, and portions of Rama IV are also gaining traction for offering growth upside and connectivity to transit expansion.

New launches slated for late 2025 underline the momentum: Still Sukhumvit 20 (SC Asset & Tokyo Tatemono), InterContinental Residences Bangkok Asoke (CG Capital), and a joint venture by Swire Properties and City Realty on Wireless Road (395 units across twin towers). These projects emphasize world-class design, brand partnerships, and scarcity of supply as integral selling points.

While incumbent developers such as Sansiri, SC Asset, Ananda, and Noble continue to shape the luxury market, newer entrants like CG Capital, Real Asset, 1.6 Development, and Nai Lert Park bring fresh creative perspectives, catering to buyers prioritising identity, design narrative, and bespoke lifestyle.

Industry observers note that Bangkok offers a compelling value proposition: ultra-luxury prices may appear lower on an absolute scale compared to Hong Kong or Singapore, but the quality of amenities, architectural ambition, and service branding are rising rapidly. Indeed, Bangkok’s ultra-luxury sector is no longer a peripheral niche—it is now the most dynamic, competitive, and forward-looking layer of the city’s real estate market.
