History
This Bangkok development project is for a mixed-use commercial area. A premier commercial hub is what it comprises. The Department of Business Administration Group, Central Group Company Limited, and Central Department of Trade Company Limited are in charge of department stores, hotels, and office complexes that are situated in the former site of the UK Embassy in Thailand, which is on the northwest corner of the Ploenchit intersection. AUCTION WINNER: The Central Group A portion of the Ploenchit City project is the project at hand. This sparked the Central Bangkok Project Of Central Bangkok Project by Uninger Company Limited, the owner of the Park Venture Building, which included the Okuma Prestige Hotel Bangkok.
According to the plan, Central Embassy had planned to formally open the shopping center at the end of 2013, but due to construction delays, the opening was postponed for February 2014 after the group of PDRC began settling in a neighborhood in Bangkok's inner city. This caused the construction of the project to be disrupted from that point on, and it also caused the Central Embassy to delay the opening of the shopping center once more. The Central Group originally planned to launch the shopping mall in March 2014, however, a questionable circumstance forced them to delay it a further four times, to May 2014. After the situation had calmed down, Central Group revealed the Central Embassy's launch date.
As of right now, all services are available at the retail complex and the Park Hyatt Bangkok Hotel. On May 18, 2017, with the theme "This Brings Me Here," the Central Group formally debuted the shopping complexes and hotels. [2]
