Overview
One Plus Huay Kaew is a low-rise 7-story condominium that exemplifies the "Convenient City Living" philosophy of the One Plus series. Completed in 2014 by the prolific local developer Karnkanok, it is positioned in a "stealth" location: close enough to see the neon lights of Maya Mall, but tucked away down a quiet soi to escape the direct noise of the Superhighway.
The building is known for its high-security features (Fingerprint/Keycard) and its efficient use of space. Unlike the more sprawling dcondos, One Plus buildings are boutique in size with only 70 units, making for a much faster commute from your front door to the street.
Developer
Karnkanok Property is the "local giant" of Chiang Mai real estate. They use a specific "Cast-in-Place" construction technology designed for durability and earthquake resistance. One Plus is their successful urban brand, focused on delivering fully-furnished units that are "ready to move in," making them a top choice for investors and short-to-medium-term renters.
Location & Transit
One Plus Huay Kaew is located on a side soi off Huay Kaew Road, approximately 400-500 meters from the major Rin Kham intersection.
| Station | Line | Distance | ๐ถ Walk | ๐๏ธ Motorbike |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Maya Mall | Hub | 500m | 6 min | 2 min |
| One Nimman | Lifestyle | 700m | 9 min | 3 min |
| CMU Gate | Education | 1.5km | 18 min | 4 min |
| Airport (CNX) | Flight | 8.3km | N/A | 15 min |
Tip: Navigation is easy. From the Chiang Mai Phucome Hotel, head straight for about 400 meters and turn into the soi on your left. It's a 140-meter walk from the turn-off to the lobby.

Facilities
Recreation:
- Swimming Pool: A decent-sized outdoor pool at the ground level. It's clean and functional, though it lacks the "resort" scale of the Sign or Nim projects.
- Fitness & Sauna: A small but well-maintained gym. The inclusion of a Sauna is a standard One Plus luxury that is highly appreciated during the cooler months.
Security:
- One Plus buildings are famous for their fingerprint scanners and keycard systems, making them some of the most secure low-rises for solo residents.
Pros
- Location Efficiency โ You can walk to Maya and Nimman, but you aren't paying the "Nimman Soi" rental premium.
- Quiet Buffer โ The 140-meter setback from Huay Kaew Road significantly reduces road noise.
- Ready-to-Live โ Units are almost always sold/rented fully furnished with modern (though standardized) Karnkanok furniture.
- Security โ The triple-layered security (Guard, Fingerprint, CCTV) is excellent for the price point.
Cons
- Building Age โ Completed in 2014, some common areas (like the pool deck or gym equipment) may show their age unless recently updated.
- Tight Parking โ Like most One Plus projects, the parking lot is compact and can be challenging for large SUVs.
- Uniform Design โ The rooms are "cookie-cutter" and lack unique architectural character compared to boutique builds like Moda or Liv.
- Strictly No Pets
Best For
- Digital Nomads โ Who want a stable, secure apartment within walking distance of the Nimman co-working scene.
- University Staff/Students โ The 5-minute motorbike commute to CMU is a major draw.
- Long-Term Expats โ Who value a managed building with consistent security and maintenance.
The Bottom Line
One Plus Huay Kaew is "The Practical All-Rounder." It doesn't win prizes for architectural daring, but it wins on location, security, and value. If you want to be near the action of Maya Mall but prefer a smaller, quieter building with a sauna and fingerprint access, this is the most logical choice in the Huay Kaew corridor.
