Bangkok--27 Feb--Weber Shandwick
Be the first to experience this, eco-conscious fabulous and chic Cosmopolitan Hangout in town
Rain Hill, a community mall with the concept of “The Cosmopolitan Hangout” located in the heart of Bangkok on Sukhumvit 47, is officially opened today. With its golden location, coupled with retail stores featuring more than 40 leading brands, hand-picked to cater to the urban lifestyles of Bangkok residents, the newest project is designed to be an ideal meeting place of a true eco-conscious retail mall and a hip urban lifestyle. Rain Hill features vertical green eco-conscious architecture, surrounded by tropical plants and 30-meter high rainfall walls, built with a total budget of over 400 million baht. The developer is confident that Rain Hill will fast become the urbanites’ new favorite — a true lifestyle rendezvous and is preparing to launch its second retail project in response to strong feedback.
Rain Hill, located on Sukhumvit 47, is the newest cosmopolitan landmark and is developed by the Boutique Group of Companies, a leading developer in mid-market and economy hospitality real estate in Thailand that includes hotels and serviced apartments. Rain Hill is situated in a 2-rai prestigious location in the heart of Bangkok, accessible from both Phromphong and Thong Lo BTS Skytrain stations. Rain Hill is the only community mall located on main road Sukhumvit - offering a wide range of more than 40 lifestyle retail stores selected especially to cater to city dwellers.
Prab Thakral, Managing Director of the Boutique Group of Companies, said: “Since Rain Hill’s soft-opening on January 19, 2012, we have received very satisfying feedback from visitors who have been enjoying our unique atmosphere and tenant mix. Rain Hill houses high-quality and unique lifestyle retail outlets, including famous celebrity brand-name stores such as ‘House of Salad’ by Bee Pitipat Sarasin, ‘Him & Her’ by Cris and Ploy Horwang and many more. In addition, Rain Hill has gathered more than forty well-known and outstanding brands, some of whom are opening their first stores here, as well as flagship and concept stores such as Wine Connection Tapas Bar and Bistro, Penguin Likes Chocolate, Marugame Seimen, 2046 by In the Mood for Love, Ra-men Kio, Dontaku by Torajiro, Zoo Phonics and Thai For Kids. Apart from this, visitors also really enjoy the mall’s architectural design that conveys an elegant sense of serenity and nature - a place where you can stroll along as in a tropical paradise, suitable for people with an urban lifestyle who want to avoid the hectic traffic in Sukhumvit and who yearn for a relaxing place closer to nature.”
Rain Hill also serves as a new lung for Bangkok. Despite its location in one of the busiest and most congested business areas, the newest lifestyle mall can make visitors feel relaxed amid a lush-green garden, surrounded by tropical plants and 30-meter high rainfall walls. With environmental consciousness kept in mind, the project was built under the design of “Green Eco Conscious Concept”. The amazing greenery paints a lush-green contrast to the concrete jungle of Sukhumvit.
Following Rain Hill’s resolution to truly streamline the eco-conscious design, all pre-existing, on-site sixty-year-old trees have been kept intact, providing fresh air, natural shade and a cool atmosphere. In addition, the building is designed to use recyclable energy to lower power consumption. A new water-based air-conditioning system is employed to support Rain Hill's green initiative of minimizing any harmful impact on the environment. These green conscious ideas have also been implemented in all Rain Hill’s retail stores in order to further promote care towards the environment.
“With an investment of 400 million baht, Rain Hill is placed on a premier location right on the corner of Sukhumvit Soi 47. Featuring a five-storey structure, the mall offers 5,000 sq. m. of rental space, featuring restaurants, food and beverage, fashion, lifestyle, health & beauty clinics, education and a 24-hour supermarket to turn this place into the newest favorite among our target customers, including business professionals in the Sukhumvit area, Japanese expatriates, residents of Oakwood and Citadines projects, as well as residents of Sukhumvit,” Mr. Thakral added.
“We have had excellent feedback since the start of Rain Hill’s soft opening, where more than 5,000 visitors have frequented our mall each day. With this in mind, we have set out to open our second retail project to cater to the expanding need. At the moment, the company is in the process of considering and conducting market research, although we cannot reveal the details just yet.” Mr. Thakral concluded.
Set in a distinctive retail ambiance, Rain Hill occupies 5,000 sq. m. of commercial space over five storeys and caters to high-end shoppers living in the Sukhumvit area as well as Thai and international visitors. Rain Hill is open every day from 10.00 to 22.00 hrs, except for the 24-hour supermarket. Rain Hill also offers rental spaces for commercial events and product launches.
Tenant mix at Rain Hill include food and beverage stores at 37%, education at 21%, health & beauty at 14%, coffee & bakery at 7% and supermarket at 5%, fashion at 10% and general retail at 6%.
