Our vision was to create a building that not only serves as a hub for business operations but also reflects a distinctive, intelligent approach to well-being and caters to the coveted work-life balance lifestyle."
With the Bangkok office market gradually rebounding and the ‘return to office’ work gaining momentum, Kronos Sathorn has already attracted significant interest, capturing approximately 50% of potential customers. The starting price per square meter is THB 900, with an average of THB 1,178, offering valuable insights into the second-quarter rental office building market. The confidence shown by multinational companies investing in the country further strengthens the project's prospects.
The meticulously crafted building design, spanning 28 floors, boasts a total area surpassing 28,765 sqm. It offers a blend of spacious and sophisticated office and retail spaces, ranging from 1,150 to 1,270 sqm to an entire floor dedicated to multi-corporation headquarters. It also offers the convenience of parking space for 321 cars.
Kronos Sathorn is strategically positioned to cater to the growing demand of high-end corporate clients and attract leading Thai and international clients seeking Grade A office buildings in Thailand and Asia to expand their business base.

Kronos Sathorn stands out with its five highlights of timeless design, emphasising luxury, technology, and innovative facilities inspired by Japanese expertise. These features provide a well-being-focused, healthy, safe, and flexible environment for the occupants of the space:
1. Timeless Design and Masterpiece
The Kronos Sathorn is an unprecedented interplay of art-deco and modern design elements. The project's design highlight is the largest clock in Thailand and the 8th largest in the world, serving as a bold statement and a timeless gathering point for generations to come.
2. Super Prime Location in Bangkok CBD on Sathorn
With its grandeur, innovation, and opulent living, the building aims to leave an indelible mark on the real estate landscape in Thailand and beyond. Positioned in the highly sought-after Sathorn-Rama 4 area, Kronos benefits from its super-prime location at the centre of the real CBD. This strategic placement puts it at the centre of the economy, surrounded by leading Thai businesses, world-class agencies, luxury hotels, and mixed-use projects.
3. Best-In-Class world-class office solutions
The visionary project offers ‘Best-in-class world-class office solutions’ with column-free spaces and high ceilings. Let’s not forget the large balconies on the 27th floor with breathtaking city and Chao Phraya River views and eight passenger lifts to ensure smooth and efficient movement during peak hours. The parking facilities are ample to cater to the needs of the tenants.
4. Smart Building Office
Kronos is a ‘Smart Building’ with high technology incorporating advanced technologies such as access systems utilising face scans, key cards, QR codes, touchless anti-COVID-19 measures, automated payment systems, EV charger stations, and license plate recognition.
5. Focus on ‘Well-being’
With its focus on ‘Well-being’, Kronos prioritises safety with cutting-edge security technology that meets global standards. This includes destination control elevators and a face recognition system for contactless access to designated floors. The commitment to touchless facilities extends to hands-free bathrooms featuring automatic doors, faucets, and toilet flushing. In addition, the air conditioning system incorporates a high-quality air filter with a PM2.5 dust filter, a bacteria-killing plasma system, and a UV system that effectively eliminates the COVID-19 virus. Thus, ensuring a safe and healthy working environment. According to a recent survey, the demand for Grade A office buildings is expected to rise in 2023, with tenants placing greater emphasis on high-quality, environmentally friendly spaces. Companies are looking for workplaces that promote work-life balance and reflect their commitment to sustainability. The Bangkok office market currently has approximately 5.8 million square metres of office space, with around 20% being newly certified green buildings.
"In this new era, the needs and demands of tenants have changed significantly. Companies are seeking high-quality buildings that align with their values, and Kronos caters to this demand. We are witnessing a flight-to-quality phenomenon, with many tenants favouring Grade A buildings and gravitating away from lower-grade and older buildings. Kronos Sathorn is poised to meet this demand and redefine the ultra-luxury office experience,” added Natee Panichewa.
Kronos Sathorn's launch heralds a positive outlook for the Bangkok office market. Thailand's office space rental market is undergoing significant changes driven by the increasing demand for sustainable and well-being-focused office buildings aligned with the ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) concept. Thailand's reputation as a safe investment zone in Asia and its lower cost of living make it an appealing destination for new investments. The competitive rental costs, quality of buildings, and effective management also attract international companies seeking office locations.
Expanding on the design and architectural elements, Mr. Sern Vithespongsee, Director of Palmer & Turner, said, "Kronos truly embodies the essence of elegance and sophistication. The classic revolving doorway and lobby, reminiscent of a luxurious 5-star hotel, immediately immerse visitors in a world of opulence. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect, from the awe-inspiring oval glass dome ceilings that create a sense of grandeur to the carefully curated interior spaces that exude refinement. Kronos goes beyond the expectations of a typical office building, creating a unique and inviting atmosphere that leaves a lasting impression. It is a testament to our commitment to creating exceptional spaces that inspire and captivate." These meticulously crafted atmospheric designs and architectural details contribute to Kronos' distinctive premium identity.
Mr. Wisut Lertviriyasak, Senior Manager of Thai Obayashi, highlighting Kronos' unwavering commitment to the fusion of technology and its top-notch construction, said, “Drawing upon our extensive expertise from Japan, we prioritised the integration of innovative advancements and construction techniques into every facet of the project. Our strategic collaborations enabled us to deliver a truly cutting-edge development. From the very foundation to the finest details, Kronos is meticulously crafted to surpass industry standards, ensuring longevity, efficiency, and an unparalleled level of quality that sets it apart from the rest.”
Mr. Pitichitr Phrommalha, Project Director of Project Asia said, “Grade A office spaces like Kronos Sathorn, strategically located in central business districts (CBDs), are in high demand due to their convenient accessibility, modern working environments, and lifestyle amenities, attracting foreign companies expanding their presence in Thailand. The demand for rentals focusing on quality buildings and environmental sustainability is evident, with multinational companies willing to pay higher rents for international-quality offices.”
Kronos Sathorn, with its world-class facilities, superior location, and commitment to luxury and sustainability, is poised to be a leading player in this dynamic landscape.
