It is a 39-storey high-end office and retail complex that spans over 6 rai in Bangkok’s central Silom's area.

The determination is to transform this land into a space that caters to the diverse needs of city dwellers while also connecting and empowering the Silom community, which is renowned for its dynamic nature. It is truly a Symbol of Dynamism.”

The aim of the project is to connect lifestyles of working individuals and affluent Thai and international tourists.

“The research conducted on retail business and consumer behaviour in Silom and its surrounding areas has revealed a business opportunity to address the needs of the Silom community and fulfil their lifestyle requirements.
