Halfway through 2026, the streets around Lumphini Park are unusually busy. Three major new buildings are handing keys to their first owners. One more is still going up. The older towers keep selling and renting. This is how that part of Bangkok reads in June 2026.

Which streets we mean
The band of streets that wraps around Lumphini Park, the 142-acre green space at the centre of the banking and embassy districts. It is where a serious search in central Bangkok usually starts.
Read the full explanation
The seven streets on the park are Wireless Road, Langsuan, Ratchadamri, Sarasin, Chidlom, Ploenchit and Upper Sathorn. The Green Line walkway, finished in recent years, carries on eastward as a path for people, dogs and bicycles into Benjakitti Park, Bangkok’s other great central park.
For a buyer at the top of the market this is where the search begins. These streets hold the city’s most established addresses, the most new branded building, and the deepest choice of homes for resale. The new buildings and the older ones sit beside each other rather than competing, because there are enough buyers for both.
The new buildings landing now
Four of our flagship projects are on these streets. Three are handing over in the 2025 to 2026 window; the fourth is still being built.
- ONE89 Wireless. Finished 2025. The first One Bangkok residential tower to reach its owners.
- EI8HTEEN SEVEN. Finished early 2026. Sister project to ONE89 Wireless, on the same side of the park.
- Dusit Residences. Handing over from July 2026, at the Silom and Rama IV corner, part of the wider Dusit Central Park rebuild.
- Upper House Residences. Still being built. Foundations began in August 2025 with SEAFCO, and Ritta was appointed main contractor in January 2026. Two towers by Foster + Partners, 156 and 239 homes, targeted for December 2030 and September 2031.
The wider view, including buildings already finished (98 Wireless, ANIL Sathorn 12, and Aman Nai Lert Residences, open since 2025) and ones still years away (Capella Residences Bangkok), is in our piece on the 2026 crop of Bangkok luxury residences.
Who is buying
A steady Thai base alongside international buyers. We publish no percentage split, because we hold no audited market-wide data and an invented share is worse than none.
The Thai family
Reads these streets as the established heartland. Often their third or fourth Bangkok address rather than their first.
The Hong Kong family
Reads them as the closest thing to the parts of Hong Kong that worked.
The returner from Britain or Europe
Reads them as the part of Bangkok that stayed walkable and breathable through forty years of change.

From our own client flow the most active international groups are mainland China, Taiwan, Japan, Myanmar and the United States, with the UAE, the United Kingdom and France also present.
The same streets read differently to each of them, which is most of an advisor’s job: working out which of those frames fits the person in front of you, and showing the area that way. The fuller picture is in our piece on who buys Bangkok luxury condominiums.
The older towers, still trading
Alongside the new arrivals, the established buildings keep selling and renting. Which side suits you comes down to one question.
Which of these matters more to you
Move in now
An older tower. You can walk the actual home, judge the actual finish, and take possession immediately.
Newest design
A new building. Current layouts and specification, and a longer wait before you can use it.
Read the full explanation, and which older buildings are most active
The list is long. The most active addresses include Sindhorn Residence Langsuan and Sindhorn Tonson inside Sindhorn Village; 185 Rajadamri on the corner of Ratchadamri and Sarasin; Kempinski Residences Sindhorn, the 2019 branded building inside Sindhorn Village; Scope Langsuan; and Magnolias Ratchadamri Boulevard.
Embark advises buyers on resale and rental across more than fifteen further central-Bangkok luxury buildings beyond these four flagship projects.
What this moment means for a buyer
Choice is wide, and most of it can be walked. That does not stay true for long.
A new group of buildings handing over, one more going up, the older towers still trading, and enough buyers for all three. Moments this rich do not last.
Read the full explanation
Three new buildings handing over inside a single window, one more in construction, an established set of towers still trading, and a buyer base broad enough to support all of it. Dense groups like this are rare, and stable streets are rare; the two together are rarer still.
For someone buying in the second half of 2026, the practical point is that most of what is in play can be visited: the finish judged in person, the orientation checked against the floor plan. By the middle of 2027 it will look different. Some of today’s new homes will be changing hands for the second time, the buildings under construction will be visibly closer, and the older towers will sit differently against the new ones.
