This is the first head office owned by the SET since the bourse was established in 1975. The building has total space of 65,000 square metres and usable space of 40,000sqm. It occupies a 5-rai (8,000sqm) plot.
"We decided to build our first head office on Ratchadaphisek Road because of its proximity to the MRT, which provides easy transport. The location is also Bangkok's new central business district. [The head office] matches our policy to be a leader in sustainable buildings under the concept of energy-saving and innovation," said Pannavadee Ladavalya Na Ayudhya, SET senior vice president and group head of communication and administration.
She added that SET@93 Ratchada was applying for recognition as an energy-saving building with LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold certification.
