ARAYA Land Development Co., Ltd., the developer of Thailand's fully integrated industrial and innovation ecosystem under the ARAYA - The Eastern Gateway project, has announced the entry into a letter of intent for the sale of a 158-rai (252,800 sq.m.) land plot to MR. D.I.Y, a leading home and lifestyle retailer. The land is expected to be developed into a new distribution centre and warehouse for MR. D.I.Y., featuring an advanced Automated Storage and Retrieval system (ASRS), within ARAYA Industrial Estate.
A key factor behind MR. D.I.Y.'s decision to invest in ARAYA was the estate's strategic location, offering direct connectivity to major highways, expressways, ports, and airports. This prime logistics positioning, coupled with ARAYA's modern infrastructure and utilities, enables efficient distribution operations that supports business expansion across Thailand and the ASEAN region.
D.I.Y.'s presence is expected to enhance the industrial ecosystem at ARAYA, particularly in the retail business and supply chain sectors, where logistics efficiency and partner networks are essential. The establishment of MR. D.I.Y.'s key operation hub within ARAYA will not only strengthen regional supply chains but also attract additional investment from related industries in the future.
Ms. Kamonkarn Kongkathong, Managing Director of ARAYA Land Development, stated: "This agreement marks a significant milestone for ARAYA. It reflects investor confidence in our vision and will help drive economic growth, create local jobs, and support Thailand's targeted industries."
Demonstrating its unwavering commitment to industrial excellence, The ARAYA Industrial Estate reaffirms ARAYA Land Development's commitment to continuously elevating industrial standards. The company remains steadfast in its pursuit of ongoing development and high-quality services to meet the evolving needs of modern industries, while also actively attracting high-potential investors to the area. The project by Mr. D.I.Y. is expected to begin development in the second quarter of 2026 and commence operations by 2027.
