The two shopping centers will become new landmarks at the centers of Nakhon Sawan and Nakhon Pathom, upgrading economies and tourism industries of the two provinces, as well as improving the quality of life of local residents.

The two new projects will also help strengthen the synergy within Central Group with a new concept.

Mr. Chanavat Uahwatanasakul, Chief Development and Commercial Officer of Central Pattana Plc., said, “Central Pattana’s expansion of retail-led mixed-use development projects is under the aim to create a strong and sustainable ecosystem. Under our five-year business plan, there will be a total investment of over 120 billion baht in the core businesses, including the expansion of our projects to cover over 30 provinces across the country, reinforcing our role as the ‘place maker’ who taps into cities with high potential and improves lives of the local resident and communities, while at the same time supporting the businesses of our partners and driving the economy and development of the country.”

“We have seen great success with the mixed-use development project of Central Korat and have made progress on the shopping center components of other projects such as Central Ayutthaya, Central Si Racha and Central Chanthaburi,” he said.

According to Mr. Chanavat, the two huge projects are carried out under the concept “the upscaling of retail-led mixed-use development” which will connect project development with local communities and quality of life of the people in a more concrete way with three approaches.

1. New Frontier of Mixed-Use Development

Project development employs new methods and ideas, such as including sustainability in standards for new projects and the creation of master plans to connect the projects to neighboring components in adjacent areas, city landmarks and surrounding communities.

2. Urban Township

Project development will promote and utilize the potential of each city, with Nakhon Sawan as an economic center and gateway to the northern region and Nakhon Pathom as a satellite city. The projects will be the centers of growth in both locations in various aspects, including health and wellness, multi-generational lifestyles, nature, art and culture. They will also act as shared spaces for the local communities.

This allows a project design which can profoundly cater to customer lifestyles, enable partners to offer the right merchandise mix and create growth where the project is located. In addition, the Central Group provides synergy between businesses under new concepts which are developed along with the new projects.
