Central Park, a mixed-use development in Bangkok's Silom area, attracted over 25 million visitors in its inaugural year, with more than 10 million of those being international tourists, according to its developer Central Pattana. The real estate giant celebrated the venue's first birthday on September 4th, highlighting that Central Park achieved nearly 100% retail occupancy while drawing strong footfall across its shopping, office, hotel, and residential sections.
The shopping complex reached 98% retail occupancy, with between 65,000 and 75,000 visits each day, as reported by Central Pattana. Office space within Central Park has an occupancy rate exceeding 80%, housing notable tenants such as Deutsche Bank, adidas, Bayer, GSK, Mitsubishi Corporation, and the Netherlands Embassy. The Dusit Thani Bangkok property garnered a Michelin Key and received several international accolades during its first year.
Central Pattana credited the development's success to three strategies: "Curated Newness," introducing fresh brands and experiences to Bangkok; "A People-led Cultural Stage," emphasizing food, art, music, design, and culture; and "Design for Bangkok," integrating the character of Silom, Rama 4, and nearby Lumphini Park into the design.
The destination now accommodates over 250 Thai and international brands, featuring exclusive offerings like Blue Bottle Coffee's first Thai outlet and new retail concepts from brands such as ZARA and Onitsuka Tiger. Central Pattana aims to boost visitor numbers by more than 10% in the coming year as it continues to position Central Park as "Bangkok's World Stage."
Kunayudh Dej-udom, asset director of Central World and Central Park, stated, "Looking ahead, we see Central Park as 'Bangkok's World Stage' — a platform that brings the best of the world to Bangkok, while showcasing the city's unique character, creativity, and potential to a global audience." The first-anniversary festivities include collaborations with artists and brands, as well as special promotions and limited-edition items for visitors.
