In 2003, the Treasury Department, under the Ministry of Finance who is looking after the government land bank had plan to build government office building to house 28 government agencies.
These government agencies were asking for budget to rent or to own office space and to cater for their future need. Instead, the treasury department have raised fund through securitization scheme, build the building and rent to the agencies for 30 years.
The development will support the evolution of government management system through modern facilities, IT and co-operation. Conventional government office is far low quality to private office, and partly airconditioned due to controlled budget limit.
It is the first government office project, where the targeted quality is equivalent to private office. With combined effort of planner, architects, engineers, interior designer, landscape designer, specialist, the project has been designed to become the most modern office in town with superior energy efficiency and quality of life within a very tight budget.
The project has been designed as “Sustainable Building” with advanced green engineering concept. Total building area is approximately 917,500 sq.m, and almost 480,000 sq.m.of air-conditioning space.
The project will be completed in 2008, on the hight level you can find all the government office.
On the lower floor of the building there are bank offices off all major Thai banks as well as some coffee shops, a 7 eleven super market and even an Chesters Grill.
