Sathon's positioning as Bangkok's main business district has also been a factor driving residential and rental demand. Tenants who choose Sathon are typically those who work in the area.
Currently there is a total of 1.8 million square metres of office space in the Sathon-Silom area with average occupancy of 88.5%. Demand remains high, as seen at the recently completed Sathorn Square which is 90% leased, while AIA Sathorn Tower with 38,500 square metres of Grade-A office space was completed in the first quarter of this year and has attracted a lot of potential tenants.
