CG Capital, the Leader in Branded Residences in Thailand, Marks Milestone Success for InterContinental Residences Bangkok Asoke Amid Global Economic Uncertainty

CG Capital, a prominent player in Thailand’s real estate and hospitality sectors, celebrated a significant achievement with the announcement of a major strategic investment milestone tied to the InterContinental Residences Bangkok Asoke. This development marks a pivotal moment for the company, especially amid ongoing global economic uncertainty. The project, located in one of Bangkok’s most sought-after areas—Sukhumvit—has already seen strong interest, with reservations surpassing 60% before its official public launch. The total development value of the project stands at THB 5.5 billion, with two-bedroom units priced from THB 44.8 million. This success underscores the growing appeal of branded residences in Thailand, particularly among high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs).

The timing of this milestone is notable, given the challenging global economic climate. Markets have been affected by slowing growth, geopolitical tensions, and instability in traditional financial systems. Despite these headwinds, CG Capital reports that Thailand’s luxury real estate market continues to thrive. According to data from Henley & Partners, the number of HNWIs relocating globally has increased dramatically, rising from 51,000 in 2013 to 142,000 in 2025—a staggering 178% increase over 12 years. This trend reflects a broader shift in how affluent individuals approach their investments and lifestyle choices. Thailand has emerged as a preferred destination for many of these individuals, supported by policies such as the Long-Term Resident visa program, which has granted residency to over 6,000 wealthy global citizens since 2022.

At the heart of CG Capital’s strategy is the concept of “Right Brand, Right Partners, Right Product.” This framework has positioned the company as a leader in the branded residences market, which is experiencing rapid growth. Thailand currently holds the largest market share in Asia for branded residences, accounting for 23.3% of the region’s USD 26.6 billion total market value. This is followed by the Philippines at 17.3% and South Korea at 11.6%. In terms of project numbers, Thailand ranks fourth globally, with Bangkok and Phuket among the top 10 cities worldwide. These figures highlight the nation’s competitive edge in attracting international investors and developers.

Mr. Phoom Chirathivat, Managing Partner and Co-Founder of CG Capital, emphasized that the success of the InterContinental Residences Bangkok Asoke stems from a deep understanding of global trends. He noted that while other regions face economic challenges, Thailand remains resilient due to its unique positioning as a desirable destination for HNWIs. The project’s location in Sukhumvit, known for its vibrant commercial and cultural scene, further enhances its appeal. By aligning with a prestigious brand like InterContinental Residences, CG Capital ensures that its offerings meet the high expectations of discerning buyers.

CG Capital’s approach to real estate development is rooted in its history as one of Thailand’s largest private equity fund managers in the hospitality and real estate sectors. The firm applies institutional investment principles to all aspects of development, balancing capital appreciation with the quality of the living experience. This dual focus helps ensure that each project not only generates strong returns but also provides exceptional value to residents.

As the sales gallery for the InterContinental Residences Bangkok Asoke officially opens to the public, CG Capital looks ahead to future opportunities in the hospitality segment. The company aims to continue raising the bar for Thailand’s real estate industry by delivering innovative and high-quality developments. With the current level of interest and the strong foundation laid by this project, CG Capital is well-positioned to maintain its leadership role in the market. The upcoming months will likely see continued momentum, driven by the increasing demand for premium residential options in a landscape where Thailand is increasingly becoming a focal point for global investment and relocation.
