185 Rajadamri

Overview

185 Rajadamri is a legendary super-luxury residence developed by Raimon Land, completed in 2014. Its fame stems from a singular fact: it is the only freehold condominium located on the prestigious Ratchadamri Road, where almost all other land is Crown Property (leasehold).

The project features a timeless glass-curtain design that offers guaranteed, unblocked views of the Royal Bangkok Sports Club (RBSC) fairways and the city skyline. With only 266 units, it is considered a "trophy asset" that is rarely traded on the open market.

Developer

Raimon Land Public Company Limited is Thailand's premier developer of luxury real estate. 185 Rajadamri is widely regarded as their masterpiece, setting the standard for high-end construction with double-glazed insulated curtain walls and hotel-grade engineering.

Location & Transit

Situated on Ratchadamri Road, the project sits in the heart of Bangkok's "Embassy Row" and luxury hotel district (St. Regis, Anantara, Hyatt Erawan).

The View: The western side of the building overlooks the Royal Bangkok Sports Club (RBSC), providing a massive green expanse that can never be built over. The southern side overlooks Lumpini Park.

Nearby Landmarks

• Royal Bangkok Sports Club (RBSC) — Directly opposite (Exclusive sports club).
• Lumpini Park — 300m (Bangkok's "Central Park").
• Central World / Gaysorn Village — 1.2km (Luxury Shopping).
• Chulalongkorn Hospital — 600m (Major medical center).

Unit Types

Note: Units feature 3-meter high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows. The layouts are generally wide-frontage to maximize the view of the sports club.

Facilities

Recreation (7th Floor Podium):

• Pool: A stunning saltwater swimming pool and Jacuzzi that visually merges with the green of the RBSC golf course across the street.
• Gym: Fully equipped fitness center with Technogym equipment.
• Yoga Room: Dedicated space for wellness.

Services & Security:

• Parking: A generous ~135% parking ratio ensures every unit has a spot, with fixed parking for larger units.
• Concierge: Hotel-style front desk assistance.
• Privacy: Floor-specific keycard access.

Pros

• The Only Freehold — This is the primary investment thesis. Every other residential building on this main road (like Magnolias or St. Regis) is leasehold (30 years). 185 Rajadamri allows you to own the land value forever.
• Unblocked Views — The RBSC view is legally protected (as it is a royal club), ensuring the view remains green forever.
• High Ceiling & Glass — The sheer amount of glass used in the facade creates a level of light and space that is rare in older buildings.
• Location Status — It is arguably one of the top 3 most prestigious addresses in Thailand.

Cons

• Price — As a freehold asset in a leasehold zone, it commands a massive premium. Rental yields are low (typically ~2-2.5%) because the purchase price is so high.
• Traffic — Ratchadamri Road can be congested, especially during protests or major events at Central World.
• Strictly No Pets — Despite the luxury price tag and proximity to the park, pets are not allowed.
• Resale Scarcity — Units rarely come up for sale; when they do, they are snapped up quickly by investors who understand the "scarcity value."

Best For

• Generational Investors — Families wanting to pass down a "crown jewel" asset that cannot be replicated.
• Expat CEOs — Who need to be close to Silom/Sathorn offices but want the green views of a park-side home.
• Golf Enthusiasts — Who enjoy watching the RBSC fairways from their living room.

The Bottom Line

185 Rajadamri is "The Unicorn." In a neighborhood of leasehold luxury, it stands alone as the freehold king. It is expensive, exclusive, and arguably the safest store of value in the Bangkok property market. For 2026 buyers, it is not just a home; it is an inheritance.
