From One Bangkok to Fraser’s Factory and Warehouse Strategy: Driving a 4 Million Sq.m. Portfolio, Largest in ASEAN

Behind the world-class mixed-use empire One Bangkok, the name Fraser Property Thailand (FPT) may not be as frequently mentioned as the skyscrapers and luxury retail along Witthayu-Rama IV Road.

But in Thailand’s real estate capital game, Fraser is making a more significant move today by shifting focus from “city” developments to “factories and warehouses,” as well as expanding industrial estates. This may be a bigger move than many realize.


Decoding the DNA from "Tycoon" to Thailand's first comprehensive real estate platform.

FPT’s strength was not newly created but resulted from a strategic 2019 merger between Tycoon (TICON), the leading factory market player, and Golden Land (GOLD), a top residential and office developer, under the leadership of Panote Siriwatthanaphakdee, a key figure in the Fraser Property Limited empire, which had total assets valued at approximately 39.7 billion Singapore dollars as of 30 September 2025.

That merger made FPT Thailand’s first Integrated Real Estate Platform with assets across three main pillars.

  • Residential: quality housing.
  • Industrial & Logistics: factories and warehouses (the core of new growth).
  • Commercial & Mixed-use: premium office buildings and retail.

With total assets worth over 93.5 billion baht (as of 31 Dec 2025), FPT does not focus on just one business but uses a connected real estate ecosystem to balance its income portfolio.

Proving strength in 2025: Profits defy the trend with a "balanced portfolio."

Although 2025 was a challenging year for real estate due to trade war impacts and economic slowdown, FPT CEO Hua Tiang Lim revealed the company still achieved a net profit exceeding 1.4 billion baht. The key was a diversified income mix unlike typical developers.

  • Industry 50%: the strongest pillar during crises.
  • Residential 40%: focusing on quality over quantity to combat high loan rejection rates.
  • Commercial 10%: stable recurring rental income.

This strategy reflects the idea that when one sector slows, another supports it, providing risk protection that helps FPT endure when the housing market is sluggish.


Unveiling the 2026 plan: aiming for 15 billion baht revenue and ASEAN’s number one position.

For the 2026 revenue target of 15.045 billion baht, executives say it will be driven by four key strategic focuses.

  • Industrial Mastery: currently managing over 3.8 million sq.m. with a record high 92% occupancy rate; plans to expand to 4 million sq.m. through six new projects this year. If successful, FPT will become the largest warehouse rental owner in Southeast Asia.
  • New Industrial City: moving beyond warehouses to full industrial estates, holding a vast land bank including the ARAYA project (4,600 rai) in Samut Prakan, and recently acquiring an additional 2,200 rai in Chonburi to control strategic points in the EEC.
  • Premium Commercial: maintaining leadership in premium office buildings with over 1.8 million sq.m., anchored by One Bangkok, attracting multinational corporations and generating steady cash flow.
  • Residence: launching four new projects worth 7.3 billion baht, emphasizing a “quality over quantity” strategy amid high household debt and elevated loan rejection rates in Thailand.


Catching the "China Plus One" wave as Thailand becomes the answer for Chinese capital.

Regarding FPT’s accelerated land accumulation in the EEC, the answer lies in the "China Plus One" trend over the past four years, where Chinese investors have acquired and leased over 13,000 rai in Thailand to avoid tariffs from the trade war. FPT sees this opportunity and is preparing infrastructure accordingly.

This is not just about leasing warehouses; it appears FPT is building an ecosystem to support a major global production base relocation.

Management believes that within two years, with political stability and full inflows of BOI and FDI funds, FPT’s business model will become clearer. It is not just a homebuilder or office owner but is evolving into the country’s "industrial infrastructure," connecting downtown (One Bangkok) to the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC), transforming from residential real estate into a key engine driving Thailand’s next economic era.
