Singha Estate Public Company Limited or “S” received trust from Garmin Thailand, the world-renowned leading brand in GPS technology across diverse industries from aviation, automotive, marine, fitness, and outdoor activities; to open its first office in Thailand at Singha Complex, a luxury mixed-use project near Asoke-Phetchaburi intersection. The building prides itself as a smart office in the capital’s high potential business and lifestyle district. The arrival of Garmin affirms the best-in-class project quality, management efficiency and innovation at Singha Complex.
Mr. Sky Chen, Director of Garmin Thailand, notes that “Garmin’s decision to open its representative office in Thailand was intended to be in line with the continued growth of Garmin worldwide. The company generated over USD4.19 billion (or approximately THB125,700 million) global revenues in 2020, an increase of 11% from the previous year. To respond to Thai consumers’ needs, Garmin will focus on offering technology that efficiently fulfills ‘Every Beat of Life’ of consumers with an array product variety crafted to serve demand of all lifestyles.
“The main factors we considered when choosing our office location are building quality, location, and comprehensive facilities that suit our employees’ working lifestyle. Singha Complex serves all those needs, plus it is a smart office located in a central business district, which is very convenient to commute, and has implemented the innovative application designed for this building to control the functions and to facilitate for the convenience of tenants and retail space users,” said Mr. Sky.
Mr. Sky added that besides the technology and facilities, Singha Complex is ready to respond to New Normal or the new way of life of urbanites’ lifestyle by investing in the installation of UV lamps to kill viruses and ozone air purifiers to increase internal air ventilation. The glass window wall of Singha Complex enriches the building with clear view and natural light. Guests who come to visit Garmin office will be greeted with the company signage right after they walk out of elevator. These factors made us decide to build our Thailand office at Singha Complex.
Ms. Alitsara Thongwan, Associate Director of Advisory and Transaction Services – Office of CBRE Thailand, said “We believe that all businesses in the Commercial Real Estate market have been affected by COVID-19, however, this year, Singha Complex still has a high occupancy rate at 95% with 10,000 to 12,000 office workers and visitors entering the building each day. This reflects the strong potential even though the overall market is slowing-down."
“Singha Complex is the company’s first mixed-use flagship property project. Located on the corner of Asoke and Phetchaburi Roads, it is highly convenient and is easily accessible to Phetchaburi MRT station, Airport Rail Link station, Khlong San Saeb Canal Boat pier, and the expressway, making it the prime location with high potential amidst the business area and new developments. Singha Complex comprises 42 floors of A-grade office space and 4 floors of retail space, 39 floors of luxury condominium and a wide array of more than 30 popular retailers and restaurants offering everything for the urbanites’ perfect lifestyle including co-working space and common space designed for you to work while relaxing in pleasant environment with free high-speed WiFi at 1GB/min covering all building areas, the highest speed for office in Bangkok so far,” added Ms. Alitsara.
Mr. Olarn Vaiudomvut, Vice President - Commercial and Retail of Singha Estate Plc., revealed “We would like to thank Garmin (Thailand) Co., Ltd for choosing Singha Complex, which reflects not only our capability to serve need and lifestyle of tenants and customers, but also trusts we receive from many leading local and international brands. We will continue to develop best-in-class quality projects in many formats to generate revenues and better respond to businesses’ demands nowadays.”
