The area is being closely watched by real estate developers. Minburi Station is not just a train intersection for the Eastern Orange Line (Cultural Center – Min Buri) and the Pink Line (Khae Rai – Min Buri), but it is considered to be a new economic district of eastern Bangkok. Transportations into the city center is extremely quick and convenient.
When the Bureau of Land Planning and Development Reshape the City of Minburi
According to the 4th update of the adjusted land use benefits of the city plan, Minburi will be a sub-center or suburban community where we can expect to see a lot of high-rise projects in the area where business will be conducted in the next 10 years.
The color zone plan according to the city plan will be adjusted in order to support the idea of gentrifying the area around the station. It is expected to elevate the Minburi area to be equivalent to the city center such as the Silom-Sathorn area.
Development news is gathering pace with various potential projects being earmarks such as mixed-use, including shopping centers, hotels, condominiums, office buildings, high rise buildings. Most recently, The Mall Group discussed with Bangkok regarding the acquisition of a large plot of land with over 100,000 square meters, which is subject to be developed into a shopping center. The new department store would become a magnet which would attract more developments in the area. Eventually, the color zone will change from yellow areas for less dense housing to orange areas for medium density housing and finally to the red area, which represents the commercial district by the year 2024.
