The CEO of ASW, in discussing the real estate market in Chonburi province, highlighted its remarkable and continuous growth. Chonburi is one of the areas in the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC), which has seen significant infrastructure development, including projects like the Motorway (Pattaya-Map Ta Phut), High-Speed Rail (Bangkok-Rayong), Laem Chabang Phase 3 Deep Seaport, and the High-Speed Rail Linking 3 Airports (U-Tapao-Suvarnabhumi-Don Mueang). The High-Speed Rail project will connect Don Mueang Airport, Suvarnabhumi Airport, and U-Tapao Airport, covering a distance of over 220 kilometers, and will utilize an area in Sri Racha district, Chonburi, spanning over 25 rai as one of its stations.
Chonburi province also has plans to become a hub for digital innovation and industry promotion, developing digital talents. There are also plans to establish a comprehensive medical innovation center to support advanced medical research and innovation. Additionally, Chonburi aims to be a significant tourist destination, attracting both local residents and working professionals, as well as foreign executives, second-home buyers, and investors looking for rental properties. This development will positively impact the real estate market in the province, with an estimated 8.4% average increase in new residential addresses entering the market and a 5.6% average increase in new sales per year during 2023-2025.
The focus on the "Bang Saen" area, which is home to the renowned Burapha University, is also noteworthy. Burapha University is part of the special economic promotion project for genomics medicine, supporting comprehensive medical and healthcare businesses, including an operating center at the university's Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences with an area of over 3 rai and an investment budget of 1,250 million baht. The plan is to establish a center for DNA testing and data storage for genomics in Thailand, promoting advanced medical research and elevating Thailand's healthcare to a leading global level.
Furthermore, Bang Saen is a popular seaside tourist destination that never sleeps, attracting tourists as well as being a gathering place for the lifestyle of the new generation, including the more than 25,000 students from Burapha University, residents, workers, and tourists. This has created a demand for condominium-type residential properties, both from students seeking long-term accommodations for their studies and some students' parents who buy properties for their children to live in during their studies and later sell or rent out for a good return on investment. Additionally, the area attracts investors, workers in the surrounding large industrial estates, and tourists who enjoy the lifestyle in Bang Saen.
