The River (skyscraper)
Building in Bangkok, Thailand
The River is a 258 m (846 ft) tall skyscraper in Bangkok, Thailand.[1] On the banks of the Chao Phraya River opposite the Shangri-La Hotel, the building has around 70 floors of residential condominiums and was completed in 2011.[2]
Developed by Raimon Land, the project consists of two buildings, a taller south tower adjacent to the river, and a slightly smaller north tower which is offset from the front tower so that both towers can enjoy river views. The 74-floor The River South[2] was the second tallest building in Thailand comprising entirely freehold condominiums[1] and was the country tallest residential building.[3]
The 152 m (499 ft) 45-floor north tower includes a mix of both freehold condominiums either owned or rented, and a section of the tower which is a serviced apartment operated by Klapsons,[4] a Singapore hotel chain whose owner was also a major shareholder of Raimon Land.[5] 14 out of 84 service apartment units were later sold as condominium units[6]
Facilities include a 120 m river promenade, gym, several swimming pools, gardens, and adjacent community mall retail space at VUE, also owned and operated by Raimon Land, which opened in 2012.[7] VUE was to be converted into hotel under the brand Kitch Hotel.[6]
