Guderian Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 A few weeks back they cleared the overgrown site on Thepprasit, roughly opposite Soi 17, that Foodland bought several years ago. There seems to be the occasional Thai-style tent of the green sun-awning material on the site, but it looks more to me like they're going to plant a crop of something there rather than start building the new store. Does anybody know what's going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittenKong Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 When I drove past on Tuesday it looked like the guys in the green tent were driving piles. That's usually a sign of imminent building work. Pile-driving here is often family business with everyone living in the tent on-site, until they finish and move on somewhere else. Or I suppose they could have been drilling a well. On such a large plot in that location I'm a bit surprised they are building a supermarket rather than a condo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well at least they haven't taken the Foodland sign down so there's still a chance they might one day build a food store there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tontraveller Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Bad luck guys no Foodland coming.. A few weeks back there was an early morning ceremony compleet with stage.. On stage the announcement of a new hug condo to be build there... Perhaps thats why Supalai suddenly dropped their unit prices... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they'll save money on a new sign and just call it the Foodland Condo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destiny1990 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 (edited) What will be the name of this condo? How many floors? probably first they build that condo and then the foodland supermarket besides it. Edited May 3, 2018 by Destiny1990 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reason could also be because they couldn't get rid of their condo's. Expect more price drops, because many unsold condo's and abandoned projects already, yet they keep building as if there is no tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThaiBob Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 The indications are the condo building will be adjacent to the Foodland lot on Thepprasit, the Foodland sign still remains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rimmer Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Maybe a new condo right next to any new Foodland would be a good incentive to go ahead with their new outlet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're probably right. I went past yesterday afternoon and as you said they have a small piling rig on site. It's too small for piling the foundations to a decent-sized condo building though, so it's probably starting a small structure like a condo showroom. There were also a couple of lorries there unloading sacks, maybe cement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destiny1990 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Yes they probably will built that condo first then soon as foodland has opened up in terminal 21 mall then after that they start with the one on Theprasit rd but what condo type is it going to be and from what developer? i doubt Foodland it self is building and selling condominiums.

soistalker Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Foodland is overpriced, especially for beer. The katoys working the register are surly. The worst vegetables section of any supermarket anywhere. Their business plan seems to be to overcharge farang living in View Talay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the real women who are (often) surly with me same at "Friendship"..about the only time I go to either now is to get some "proper" bread.

KittenKong Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Three more pile driving rigs visible today, going back to the rear of the plot. I'm surprised that a small team should be driving piles for a high-rise like that though. Interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
