Monday’s event celebrating the MahaNakorn’s completion went off with a bang
Last night, all eyes were on the MahaNakhon skyscraper in Bangkok for ‘MahaNakhon Bangkok Rising: The Night of Lights.’
Property Report was lucky enough to be invited to witness the event from Cloud 47 at the United Centre office tower. Official event sponsors were Citibank, BMW and Siam Commercial Bank.
Standing high at 314 metres and 77 floors, MahaNakhon is the tallest building in Bangkok, and it’s unique pixelated design makes it an awe-inspiring addition to the city’s skyline.
The first residents are due to start moving in throughout September. In addition to the 209 Ritz-Carlton Residences, the development will also feature a five-star Edition Hotel by Marriott International, boutique shops, several restaurants, and an observatory.
Speaking with Property Report at the event, Kipsan Beck from Pace, the developers behind MahaNakhon, said:
The form of MahaNakhon interestingly is supposed to reflect on some level the chaos and the disorder that we see in Bangkok street life. In some way, that chaos is what actually makes Thailand and Bangkok that charming. We could go to another country where everything is perfectly laid out, where everything is perfectly organized. Yet somehow the soul of the place is lost. I think when you look at MahaNakhon, you see some irregularity, you see some difference. Each of the units that are pixel-type is different from the other units. Everything is a bit irregular. Nothing is cookie-cutter. There is a value to that.
