Foreign investments in the Thailand property market have shownsubstantial growth. In 2017, this segment grew by 30% from the previous year and is expectedto grow by 40% this year. Our high-quality projects in Bangkok’s CBD have also received strongreception from foreign customers. Thus, we believe that our partnership with Fulcrum Global and the appointment of a new executive who is a veteran in the international propertymarket is a significant strategic move that will allow Noble Development to grow profitably andsustainably. At the same time, we will be able to create higher return to our shareholders andstakeholders.”
In the past 2-3 years, Thailand has proven its potential as an important economic hub in Asia.The country has made significant investment in infrastructure development by connecting its rail,road and air transport networks. Such progress has increased confidence among foreigninvestors and attracted significant investments to Thailand. This has in turn led to growing interestin Thai property projects.
“Thailand’s property projects have very high quality, but prices remain below those in comparable markets, and thus offer higher return on investment. It is clear that investors and foreigners aremore interested in projects in the CBD with extensive facilities and easy access,especiallythose located along sky train routes. Noble understand this well and is in a strong position todeliver property projects that directly address this demand,” said Kitti.
The partnership with Fulcrum Global and the appointment of highly experiencedexecutives, especially Frank Leung who will become the Co-CEO, will enable Noble to movefaster and further. Initially, Noble will introduce its property projects to international markets,especially China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, the Middle East, Europe and the United States.
