In the heart of Thailand’s bustling business district, a remarkable event unfolded as industry leaders gathered to mark a new chapter in office luxury. Picture this: Mr. Kris Narongdej, the charismatic Chairman of the Board, and his dynamic brother, Mr. Korn Narongdej, Director and Chairman of the Executive Committee at Raimon Land Public Company Limited (RML), stood side-by-side with Mr. Yuji Okamoto, Managing Director of Mitsubishi Estate (Thailand) Co., Ltd. These influential figures are the mastermind team behind One City Centre (OCC), Thailand’s tallest and most opulent Grade A+ office tower. Joining them in celebration were Ms. Roongrat Veeraparkkaroon, the guiding force at CBRE Thailand Co., Ltd., the exclusive office agent representing OCC, and a delegation from Gunkul Engineering Public Company Limited (GUNKUL), led by the visionary Dr. Sopacha Dhumrongpiyawut, Chairman of the Executive Committee, and the innovative Ms. Naruechon Dhumrongpiyawut, Chief Operating Officer of Sustainable Energy Business and Strategic Investment.
It’s no ordinary office building that brought these titans together. OCC, a towering beacon of modern architecture, has caught the attention of prestigious clientele both near and far. Its recent claim to fame? Becoming the new home for GUNKUL’s headquarters, a dazzling 3,000 square metre spread that’s set to be the launchpad for GUNKUL’s ambitious future growth. This landmark move underscores OCC’s reputation not just as a structure, but as a global business hub that defines excellence and elegance.
Since its grand unveiling, OCC has become the go-to address for leading enterprises. The reasons are as towering as the building itself: a world-class environment crafted by the legendary design firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM), collaborating with a talented team of local architects. Situated in a prime locale with direct skywalk access to BTS Phloen Chit, Wireless Road, and the high-end shopping haven Central Embassy, OCC is more than a building—it’s a lifestyle. It’s where well-being takes the spotlight, thanks to state-of-the-art air quality management and a design philosophy that balances work demands with life’s comforts. This aligns seamlessly with GUNKUL’s sustainability ethos, deeply committed to society and environmental responsibility.

OCC sounds like an amazing place, but I can’t help but think it’s just another playground for the rich. Is there even a place for startups or smaller companies?
I doubt small companies can afford it. It’s clearly targeting big corporations with deep pockets. Startups might be better off finding more affordable spaces.
Yeah, true. I just hope this doesn’t lead to a bigger divide between the big guys and the little guys in the business world.
Startups need innovation rather than fancy buildings to thrive.
I visited OCC last week and it’s breathtaking! The luxury and amenities make it a top choice for global businesses.
It’s great for global businesses, but do local ones even stand a chance against such international giants?
Local businesses can hold their own if they’re innovative and adaptable. It’s not just about the office space.
Honestly, I think OCC is a bit over the top. Who needs a skywalk to success when hard work is all that matters?
Luxury can also be a motivator for some. Being in a cutting-edge environment might inspire creativity and productivity.
Environmental responsibility combined with luxury? Sounds like a marketing gimmick to me. Are they really committed or just trying to look good?
That’s a fair point. Real sustainability is more than just words; actions speak louder.
OCC is strategically located, but I wonder how the traffic in that area is going to handle all these new occupants. Is there enough infrastructure support?
It’s right by major transit lines, so that should help. But Bangkok traffic is notorious; every little bit of new congestion counts.
You’re right, public transport could ease it, but I hope they have a sustainable traffic plan in place.
It’s amazing how architecture can have such an impact on business culture. OCC seems designed to foster creativity and collaboration.
Even though OCC is luxurious, I feel like it might contribute to gentrification or drive up other property costs nearby.
I wonder if their state-of-the-art air quality management is really as good as they claim. Sounds almost too good to be true.
Being the tallest building is cool and all, but are they prepared for emergencies? What about earthquake readiness?
Can’t deny OCC is spectacular, but I hope the trend doesn’t make traditional offices obsolete.
I’m interested in how GUNKUL’s sustainability ethos will play out in such an extravagant space.
Prices at OCC must be astronomical. I guess it’s the price you pay for prestige and location. But is it really worth it?
For some companies, the image is crucial. Being in an iconic building might attract clients and talent.
I see your point, but it’s a risky investment in my opinion.
I’m just waiting for an anti-establishment movement against these mega towers. Will it catch on?
Does OCC have any green certifications? It’d be interesting to know if they’re meeting international standards for sustainability.
I think OCC is a glimpse into what office spaces of the future will look like. Can’t wait to see more like this globally.
I love the idea of integrating work and lifestyle, but what if people just end up working more because they never leave the building?
