Drawing inspiration from lofty mountains, glorious breezes, and rays of sunshine, oka Haus is a 47-floor condominium residence that rises tall to bestow upon you a glorious view of the Chao Phraya River. As their theme suggests, oka Haus would be your sanctuary to retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city to relax your body, and rejuvenate your mind and reinvigorate your soul.
How would you like to come home to a view like this?
or play host to your friends on the rooftop while soaking in the B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L Bangkok city skyline?
If you like what you are seeing so far, read on as I give you the low-down on this wonderful development.
Project Summary
This is the very first Haus that is a high rise. Previous projects such as Mori HAUS and taka HAUS are low rise, low-density developments.
oka HAUS is a freehold development and is slated to be completed in the year 2021.
The Location And Accessibility
While the development is named oka Haus Sukhumvit 36. oka HAUS is within the Sukhumvit 36 vicinity but do note that the entrance is actually from Rama IV Road. The access from a major boulevard allows Sansiri to build high rise for this plot of land.
In terms of accessibility, oka HAUS is:
1.2km to Thonglor BTS
2km to Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre (QSNCC) MRT

The Development
Besides location, the number 1 reason why all previous HAUS series sold well was that of the assured quality as well as the facilities and design concepts behind it. Sansiri has spared no efforts in designing a home that would make you the envy of many.
To understand why even the locals queue up for hours under the rain and sun to get their hands on HAUS, we have to appreciate the well-executed design ideas put in place by Sansiri. Let me share with you more.
Reconnect With Nature – Play Space
Completed by an area to strengthen learning skills, the Educational Playground has been designed in collaboration with Samitivej Hospital. Here, children are able to play on the stairs and gently slide down onto the supple grass, giving them the opportunity to strengthen their muscles and decision-making skills, as well as offering a place where inspiration may be garnered in a lush green environment.
Enter With Ease – Welcome Lounge
Experience the elegance of a lobby that draws inspiration from a valley, hewn from the mountains across time by a never-ending breeze to form the perfect space in which to sit back, relax and recharge for the days ahead.
Tranquil Escape – Peace Pool
Release the fatigue in a 40 meter swimming pool, affording unlimited 180 degree views, recline in the garden side Jacuzzi or catch some rays on the Sun Bed under clear blue skies. Children are also able to find their own amusement in a dedicated kids pool.
Go With The Flow – Leisure Pool
Discover the advantages of Sansiri’s first ever condominium Hydrotherapy pool. Enjoy life complete with Bubble Pool to release the tension in your feet on up. Massage Seat for your back and thighs, Water Curtain for shoulder and back massages through a flowing stream for the ultimate vitality. Walking Corridor to aid stability, and a Spa Bed to lie down in and immerse completely for the ultimate rejuvenation. There is even a steaming Heated Pool to relax the muscles to the utmost amidst the greenery of nature.
Walk In The Clouds – Sky Lounge
Gaze over the horizon and city view from the Sky Lounge on the 47th floor, where you can clear your mind and gain a fresh outlook on life.
The Co-Working Space affords the opportunity to work endlessly with wireless charge stations for phones to carry on conversations without interruption.
The Co-Kitchen is ideal for those looking to unleash the inner chef, utilizing ingredients from the Farmshelf grown using intelligent technology ideal for healthy menus.
Renewal Of Perspective – Sunset Deck
Experience the sky like never before from the top floor of the building, as the sun sets over the river’s edge, emanating a feeling akin to basking among the meadows of a valley.
Reach For The Stars – Star Scene Space
As the sun sets over the horizon, the opportunity to while away the hours and relax with an outdoor movie presents itself. Take in the refreshing breeze, akin to resting on the summit of a mountain with the stars so close at hand.
Smart Living Home Automation To Enhance Your Quality Of Life.
Floorplans
This is a typical floor plan for oka HAUS. The 2 bedrooms units are located at the corners with 270 degree views. The premium facing would likely be the south-facing units where you will get the river view.
The surrounding is generally low rise but there might be 2 buildings coming up on the east and west facing. To be very sure of your view, it is safer to get a unit located on the 30th level and above.
For international buyers, the property will come fully furnished. From my previous experience with taka HAUS, you can be assured that Sansiri fits your property with quality.
I love this extended glass balcony concept. It simply oozes class and will definitely be an attraction for the urbanites.
Investment Potential
I believe a good portion of international buyers will be buying for investment.
Who can I rent it to? Is there potential for capital gains? You might ask.
To know if this is the right investment for you, you ought to understand the growth that is happening along Rama IV Road and the neighborhood of Sukhumvit 36-38.
There’s no 100% perfect investment property. I believe a major objection from some investors would be the fact that oka HAUS is not within walking distance to any BTS or MRT. So if you are 100% insistent on being next to rail transport, then this property is not for you.
(on a side note, oka HAUS will have shuttle service for the residents to Thonglor BTS)
Secondly, while a lot of changes are happening to Rama IV, all these will take time. In other words, in order to fully reap the reward of the transformation, you have to give it time to mature. If you are in it for the short term profit, then again this is not for you.
oka HAUS is launching globally end November
Pre-sales have already started. And I understand that over in Bangkok, the showroom is packed. At a price starting from 3.69MB*, this is a price point that is very affordable even for the local Thais.
You should consider making your move before all the choice units are taken. The last time Sansiri launched taka Haus, it was 80% sold over 1 weekend.
There are countless articles about the pros of investing in Thailand, Bangkok. If you are just starting to explore, here’s an article that can get you started: A Compelling Case To Invest In Bangkok
The reasoning is simple. Firstly, good land plots in CBD for redevelopment are limited in supply. This, in turn, leads to the ever-increasing land price in the area. It is never a bad idea to own a freehold real estate in an area where supply is limited and the price is on the uptrend.
Launched in 2013, The Diplomat Sathorn which is situated right beside The Line Sathorn has saw an annualized gain of 7.27% per annum. With an average entry price of 200,000 Bhat / psm, investors are now able to sell at around 250,000 Bhat / psm.
Secondly, investors always like to ask me this million dollar question: “Kevin, who can I rent the property to?”
From my years in the real estate industry, I can share with you it’s never just about the promised yield. What’s the point of being promised high yield when it takes 6 months to find a tenant?
You should also take into account the demand (aka turn over to find a tenant) as well as the quality of your tenant pool.
The CBD is where all your grade A offices are, where most of your middle to C level executives work. We all know how bad the Bangkok traffic is. For them, it is always desirable to be able to stay not too far from their workplace. Same for Bangkok, same for any major cities in the world.
You as a landlord would also want to be dealing with high-quality tenants as they will be the ones who can afford to pay a premium to rent your property.
Thirdly, you will be happy to know that prime CBD properties in Bangkok are still able to fetch you a good rental yield at about 5%!
The Right Property
The Line Sathorn – Simplicity In Everything. This tagline conveys the idea that the superior location + Sansiri’s smart home technology gives you the ultimate convenience and the ease to do everything comfortably.
The Line series is a joint venture between public listed luxury developer Sansiri and BTS group. The ultimate selling point of every development under The Line series is that they are right next to a BTS station. Nowadays in Bangkok, the premium attached to a development is greatly determined by the proximity to the BTS or MRT station.
The Line Sathorn is right next to Surasak BTS on Sathorn Road. 0 meters to BTS means you will always get to your destination on time rain or shine. Sathon Road is lined with skyscrapers and corporate offices, especially banking and finance related. Thai and International banks such as SMBC and Citicorp have their headquarters located along Sathon Road.
No lack of amenities.
Nestled amongst 5-star luxury hotels.
Surrounded by multi-national corporations.
All the swanky restaurants within your reach.
Lifestyle conveniences at your doorstep.
And you are just 4 Skytrain stops away from Siam, Bangkok’s famous shopping belt! Shop, wine. dine and party to your heart’s content.
The Line Sathorn is made up of 46 stories with only 9 residential units on each level. Made up of 1 bedroom and 2 bedrooms units. Every unit faces the east where you get a unblock view of the famous Bangkok city skyline.
Unblocked because next to the development is a school with a field. 1 less headache for the investor who has to be torn between which facing he has to choose. (Sorry to the residents of Diplomat, who will be blocked)
This is what you will be getting when you come home every day. An awesome view that takes your breath away.
The Right Timing
There has been no better time to enter Thailand’s property market. The trend is in your favor.
The affluent Thais, who used to prefer staying in mansions outside the city are now wanting to move back into central Bangkok. They want access to the best restaurants, lifestyle amenities, and hospitals. Thailand is also fast becoming a major property market among international investors.
I can personally attest to that, based on the high number of enquiries I have been receiving from overseas investors, especially from Hongkong and China.
Thailand has all the same favourable fundamentals as other major real estate markets around the world – the geographic location as the gateway to Asean, the readiness of transportation infrastructure for both living and investment in diversified industries as well as the high number of real estate on offer in the market. More importantly, Thai property law has provisions that allow foreigners to buy and own freehold land. Bangkok is also the capital with highest demand and supply for real estate among major cities in the Asean region
According to www.globalpropertyguide.com, property prices in the world’s top real estate markets like the US, UK, as well as in Asia, e.g., Singapore, Japan, Taiwan and Hong Kong, are far more expensive than in Thailand, from 2 to 6 times. Therefore, real estate investment in Thailand offers a higher return.
The high–end segment possesses even higher prospects, with growing demand and price aligned with the country’s advancing economic competitiveness.
Many Will Be Disappointed
The Line Sathorn will be launching worldwide on 4th November. News from official sources indicates that the interests in this property are already 2x oversubscribed.
There are only 327 units available. Not enough to satisfy the 500+ interests collected.
Sansiri will be allocating only about 40 units (subject to change) to international investors. First come first serve basis. So act fast while stocks last!
On Bangkok’s most prestigious boulevard Wireless Road stands a monument of timeless grandeur.
Herald 98 Wireless, the ultimate luxury built for the world’s elites.
Cool white interior, Italian marble staircases, and subtle leather furniture. After 30 years in the business, renowned Thai developer Sansiri went for the very top of the market.
Crafting The Masterpiece
To perfect this majestic masterpiece, Sansiri worked for 7 painstaking years with architect and designer Kirk Ellis from award-winning architecture firm DWP.
When it comes to the selection of materials, Sansiri uses nothing but the best for 98 Wireless. Moleanos limestone for the facade, white-oak herringbone floors, and imported rare mahogany crotch door panels.
Her plush interiors are styled exclusively by Ralph Lauren Home.
Just waltzing through the 23 meters lobby is probably the one of the grandest lobby you will ever experience in your lifetime.
The end goal is to achieve that sense of grandeur, something special, without being opulent and over the top.
98 wireless is true to neoclassical Bo’s art design originating from Paris. That style both as far as architecture and interiors would promote and project that sense of solidity permanence, clam stature that there’s that to it.
The Pinnacle Of High-end living
Sansiri wanted to create a sense of space for those who can afford it. 30% of the building is set aside for residents from pools to gyms to entertainment venues.
Private lift with express doors for each of the 77 units.
In line with 98 Wireless’s promise to offer truly superior living, residents are chauffeured in the property’s exclusive limousine — a brand-new Bentley. Sansiri has also engaged global lifestyle concierge service Quintessentially, which has long served members of the British royal family — ensuring royal treatment for all residents.
The Best Now Comes As A Standard
Affluent Thais are abandoning the suburbs and coming back into the city centre. They want access to high-end restaurants, shopping malls, and even health care.
And in Sansiri’s desire to harness this trend, they have successfully brought New York’s Fifth Avenue glamour to Wireless Road.
98 Wireless is Sansiri’s answer to true luxury.
Should you wish to inspect this wonderful masterpiece, please note that it is strictly by appointment. For more information please visit https://98wireless.official-site.sg/
1 of them, namely Oka Haus is widely expected to garner strong interests from both local Thais as well as overseas investors.
Oka Haus Lobby: Artist Impression
Here are 5 reasons why we would expect huge demand for this development.
1. Sansiri – A Quality Assured Developer
The brand Sansiri is no stranger to the local Thais as well as overseas investors. It is a name that is associated with quality and this gives investors a peace of mind with their investments.
Sansiri also does provide a full suite of services to their investors, from the point of sale to taking care of after-sales services, including assisting investors with getting tenants as well as property management.
2. Haus – A Brand Associated With Quality Urban Lifestyle
Oka Haus and Kawa Haus will be the 4th and 5th installment of the Haus series. As with their predecessors, careful thoughts are given to the design and implementation of the developments. This is not just another project whereby the developer simply tries to squeeze as many units as possible on a tiny piece of land to maximise their profits.
1 of the standout feature of the Haus series is the impressive facilities coupled with smart home technologies.
Sandee: Sansiri Delivery Bot
Each Haus series brings with it their own unique concept to cater to today’s urbanites’ lifestyle taste.
It is truly an art masterpiece that every homeowner would be proud of.
3. Location
In terms of accessibility, Oka Haus is 5 minutes to Thonglor BTS Skytrain and 8 minutes to Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre MRT.
Oka Haus is also only a mere 5 to 10 minutes away from 2 major expressways.
Accessibility – Checked.
A brand new community mall Suanplern Market Rama IV is just nearby. More than 50 well-known restaurants will have branches there as well as big establishments like Zen, Nitaya Kai Yang, Boots and a Mos Dental Clinic.
Suarn Plern Market
Alternatively, the famous Thonglor – Ekamai district is just 5-10 minutes away.
Restaurant in Thonglor
Convenience – Checked.
4. Investment Potential
While this area may be new to some, you would be glad to know that the neighborhood around Rama IV Road is undergoing a major transformation. It is 1 of the hotspots earmarked for growth.
Location of Oka Haus
Urbanisation is happening quickly. More and more investors are starting to take notice of this area.
It is understood from developer’s website that the prices start from 3.69MB. To many, this is certainly a very affordable entry price for this up and coming location.
In fact, if you were to cross to the opposite side of Thonglor BTS, you would expect to pay a package price of 7MB upwards (almost double!) for a brand new condominium of equivalent quality.
We will be doing a full review of Oka Haus when we get our hands on more detailed information. So watch this space!
Thailand listed developer Sansiri is set to launch their highly anticipated development Taka Haus in September.
Introduction
Taka Haus is a freehold 269 unit condominium located within the Thonglor-Ekamai District. Thonglor-Ekamai is a high-end residential district highly sought after by locals and expatriates alike.
Who Is The Developer?
Taka Haus is jointly developed by Sansiri and Tokyu Corporation.
With over 33 years of experience and hundreds of projects across Thailand, including 2 hotels and a residential project in Kensington, London, Sansiri is widely regarded as Thailand’s leading developer of quality houses, townhouses, and condominiums.
Tell Me More About Taka Haus.Taka Haus is a freehold low-rise condominium made up of 269 units. Buyers will be able to choose between 1 bedroom or 2 bedroom units.
The concept behind Taka Haus is to create a perfect blend between active and resort-like lifestyle for individuals living in the vibrant city of Bangkok.
The developer has spared no efforts to imbue the development with lots of greenery and communal facilities to suit the demands of millennial.
And did I forget to mention that the property will come fully furnished? Yes, that means when you get your keys, you can immediately rent it out or just simply bring your luggage to stay!
The Location
Taka Haus is located within the Thonglor-Ekamai District. When people hear the name of Thonglor-Ekamai, they think of Bangkok’s best eateries, shops and some of the trendiest place to drink, party and hang out at night.
The area is also home to a superb selection of premium brand flagship stores and luxurious residences in the vicinity are particularly sought after.
These are just some of the reasons why this neighbourhood is considered the Beverly Hills of Bangkok. Greatly appealing to the affluent Thais and expats.
Accessibility
Staying in Thonglor-Ekkamai allows easy access to both inner and outer city especially in Sukhumvit area.
The nearest BTS is Ekkamai station. And it only takes you 15 minutes to reach Bangkok’s central business district.
There are also numerous office buildings, lifestyle community malls, international schools and medical institutions within the vicinity.
Everything is easily within reach when you are staying here.
I Would Like To Purchase This Property For Investment. Will I Be Able To Rent It Out?
Thonglor-Ekamai is 1 of the most in-demand residential area for expats. Your tenant pool should be extremely wide. You will get working professionals and expatriates who are working in the CBD as well as around the vicinity. This area offers them a rich and fulfilling living experience.
What Is My Upside? Who Are My Potential Buyers When I Wish To Sell?
Properties prices in inner Sukhumvit (Ploenchit, Asoke) have risen sharply over the years. Coupled with the fact of the ever-increasing problem of traffic congestion, people are looking to stay further out for a better quality of life.
As such, Thonglor-Ekamai is experiencing the benefits the spill over both in terms of demand from buyers as well as tenants. We are just getting started.
What this means for you as an investor is that you now have the opportunity to enter the prime real estate segment of Bangkok with a relatively lower investment (versus purchasing properties in Silom, Sathorn, Asoke). We see this area continuing to evolve, reaching new heights in urban living while presenting excellent investment opportunities.
Even famous designers and local celebrities are competing to live in this prestigious area. When you are ready to exit, you will find your property appealing to both international investors as well affluent locals.
Conclusion
With its resilient economy and sustainable demand from locals, the Bangkok property market is still poised for further growth. As an investor, our best bet to hedge our downside risk would be to invest in a great development in a great location. If you decide to do so, Taka Haus is an extremely good proposition.
Developed by renowned Sansiri, quality is assured. Coupled with its excellent location, getting quality tenants for your property will be as easy as it can get.
Taka Haus will be launched worldwide simultaneously in September.
