Raimon Land Contracts Bouygues Thai To Build The River – Bangkok’s Most Exclusive Riverside Condominium Development
Luxury property developer, Raimon Land, has signed with Bouygues Thai, the local subsidiary of leading global construction conglomerate, Bouygues Construction, to carry out the main building works at The River, Bangkok’s most exclusive riverside condominium development.
This phase of the project, which commenced in late 2008 with a targeted completion date in the first quarter of 2012, is the main building works for the 72- and 42-floor twin residential towers together with a five-storey podium comprising a total of 105,000 square metres of sellable floor area.
Raimon Land’s Chief Executive Officer, Hubert Viriot, said the company was pleased to extend its working relationship with Bouygues Thai, which will ensure that the building is delivered to the buyers at the original high specifications and standards.
“We selected Bouygues due to their considerable worldwide experience at similar prestigious high-rise buildings that they delivered on time and within budget, which is especially significant to our clients during the current economic climate,” Mr Viriot said.
Bouygues Thai are currently demonstrating the quality of their construction at Raimon Land’s Northpoint development in Pattaya.
Bouygues Thai Managing Director, Jean-Marie Verbrugghe, said: “I am extremely pleased to be extending our relationship with Raimon Land for the construction of Bangkok’s most iconic condominium project that will transform the Chao Phraya River area into the most exclusive residential community in Bangkok.”
The 851-unit The River condominium project is the focal point of Raimon Land’s overall initiative to develop and promote an upscale lifestyle community along the banks of the Chao Phraya River.
