Future Park reveals progress on ‘Future City’

By The Nation

 

 

Future Park recently revealed its progress on Future City together with its long-term marketing plans for the fourth quarter.

 

Ratana Anantanupong, marketing director of Rangsit Plaza Co Ltd, explained that the Future City would cover 650 rai (104 hectares) and become a “Centre of Premium Lifestyle and Activity in northern Bangkok”. 

 

The project includes a furniture mall, home decor centre, sports complex, a branch of Paolo Hospital and hotels. The Bt100-billion project is open for investment.

 

So far, a sports hub has been completed. It covers 20 rai and comprises a football-futsal field, badminton court and badminton academy, a clubhouse and restaurants as well as parking space for up to 300 cars. 

 

The “city” would be perfect for tourists and businesspeople heading for the North or Southeast of Thailand. As Rangsit is close to Don Mueang Airport, Future Park is also planning to build two hotels, one of which will be a four-star property covering an area of 9 rai. 

 

The four-star hotel will be 11 storeys tall, have 227 rooms, meeting and seminar rooms, swimming pool and 151 parking lots; while the economy two-star version will be 7 storeys high, have 79 rooms and parking for 35 vehicles. Both hotels are due to open at the end of 2020. 

 

As for the other aspects of Future City, the company is currently in negotiations with several business allies.

I hope they are building it on stilts because the roads around Future Park get flooded often due to rain,  let alone of course when it was awash in 2011.  Compound that with the rising sea levels and sinkage that is occurring then they may be better  spending the money on a yacht marina

Just perfect for the no expense spared government top brass and multitudes of committee meetings.

The pigs are rubbing their hands with glee!

Hospital next door has been open for a year now. Haven't been there but gets mixed reviews from locals I know who have.

Roads still get flooded but not as badly, with water management ongoing to the surrounding waterways.

ZPell (the new annexe) is built higher, plus they've learnt not to put shops in the basement after 2011... ?

The only other large hotel nearby is the Asia Airport Hotel which is getting old now. Rangsit may not be somewhere most tourists coming to Bangkok would stay but is a very busy area. Attached to Future Park & the new ZPell mall, with plenty of good shopping and dining options, a new four star hotel should do well.

A centre of premium lifestyle and living. Just what we need: more 'premium' spaces in this already overpriced city.

I believe the owners of Ikea has also bought a couple hundred rais there and plan on opening another branch of ikea. The population in rangsit is very dense. They also plan on making a "city" with their land.
