  • Mixed-Use Projects … Bringing Both Opportunities and Risks to the Commercial Real Estate Rental Industry 6 January 2020
    Mixed-use projects … bringing both opportunities and risks to the commercial real estate rental industry 6 January 2020 • Mixed-use1 property projects are an interesting investment alternative for real estate developers, especially under the current volatile economic environment. This is because the projects diversify streams of income from the different integrated property formats, enabling a more stable recurring income as opposed to dependency on a single type of real estate format. Furthermore, mixed-use projects increase and maximize land-use efficiency, especially in prime areas with expensive land price. • Going forward, the growing supply of mixed-use projects in Bangkok, especially when compared to the past, could lead to an oversupply in the real estate market. Commercial space for rent should see the most impact. Data suggests that within the next 3 years, a new mixed-use supply of approximately 900,000 square meters from commercial projects is expected, accounting for 40% of new supply within the same period. These new mixed-use supplies will be clustered in the central business district (CBD), which is already crowded with similar real estate supply. With such regards, competition in the real estate market should be fiercer in the near future. • The development of several new mixed-use projects will increase competition among the mixed-use projects themselves with impact on single use buildings, such as office buildings, department stores, and hotels within the proximity as well. For this reason, single use project developers might need to lower sales/ rent, shift project launch timeline, or undergo renovations to attract tenants or customers and retain competitiveness.

We have seen increasing numbers of Chinese tourists visiting Thailand. Tourist attractions are not their only traveling propose. The research shows that when they visit Bangkok, they spend most of their travel expenses on food and shopping. For this reason, many department stores in the city offer special services for Chinese tourists – including “The EmQuartier” which focuses on high spenders. It was opened on 27th March 2015 as one of the largest shopping complexes. Its luscious rooftop garden and outdoor waterfall have since become Bangkok’s landmarks. In 2017, The EmQuartier was awarded Chinese People’s Choice Awards Thailand of that year, which attests to its popularity among Chinese visitors. The main focus of this thesis is to study the marketing models and strategies of The EmQuartier, and to assess the quality of Chinese-language services, for example, tourist centers, shops, website, etc. It also aims to evaluate the satisfaction of Chinese tourists through quantitative and qualitative analysis of questionnaire survey.
