Overview
Quinn Ratchada 17 is a premium high-rise development located in Soi Ratchadaphisek 17, one of the most strategic alleys in the Sutthisan district. Completed in 2015 by MBK Real Estate (the property arm of the famous MBK Center group), the project consists of two towers (25 and 32 floors) featuring a sleek, glass-heavy design that still looks modern over a decade later.
The project is famous for its "Convenience Radius." It sits almost immediately adjacent to The Glasshouse Ratchada, a retail plaza containing a 24-hour MaxValu, McDonald's, and Au Bon Pain. Furthermore, it is just a 3-minute walk to MRT Sutthisan, making it a top choice for white-collar workers at the nearby Muang Thai Phatra Complex who want a short commute and endless lunch options at the local market.
Developer
MBK Real Estate is known for solid construction and functional layouts. Unlike some mass-market developers that cut corners on wall thickness, Quinn is often praised by residents for its soundproofing and durable finishing materials. The maintenance is robust, keeping the common areas and the signature infinity pool in excellent condition.
Location & Transit
| Station | Line | Distance | Mode |
|---|---|---|---|
| MRT Sutthisan | Blue Line | 230m | Walk (3 min) |
| Muang Thai Phatra | Office | 300m | Walk (4 min) |
| Vibhavadi Rd | Highway | 1.5km | Car (5 min) |
Commute Logistics:
- MRT Access: The walk to MRT Sutthisan (Exit 3/4) is extremely easy. You walk past The Glasshouse plaza, meaning your path is well-lit and lined with food options.
- Car: Soi 17 is a valuable "Shortcut Soi." It connects Ratchadaphisek Road to Inthamara Road and Vibhavadi Rangsit Road, allowing savvy drivers to bypass the Ratchada-Sutthisan intersection gridlock when heading towards the airport or Ladprao.
- Food: You are next door to Muang Thai Phatra Market, one of the largest daytime office markets in Bangkok, offering cheap and delicious street food and clothes shopping.

Unit Types
| Type | Size | Notes |

| 1 Bedroom | 34 – 52 sqm | Standard Unit. The 34 sqm units are efficient, but the 45-52 sqm units are the real gems, offering spacious living areas rarely found in newer condos |
| 2 Bedroom | 65 – 70 sqm | Family Unit. Corner units with closed kitchens and generous balconies, suitable for small families |
Interior Note: The units feature 2.7-meter ceilings, which provide a sense of openness. The layouts are generally wide rather than deep, allowing for more natural light in the living areas. Most units come with closed kitchens, a huge plus for those who cook Thai food.
Facilities
Infinity Pool: Located on the podium level between the towers, the pool is large enough for laps and features a bubble jet area.
Fitness: A well-equipped gym with floor-to-ceiling windows looking out over the pool deck.
Sky Garden: Located on the rooftop, offering panoramic views of the Ratchada skyline, perfect for evening relaxation.
Pros
- Location — 230m to MRT and next door to 24-hour food/supermarket is unbeatable convenience
- Unit Size — The 1-bedroom units (up to 52 sqm) are significantly larger than the 26-30 sqm standards of today
- Build Quality — MBK's construction feels solid and quiet
- Shortcut Access — Easy driving escape routes to Vibhavadi Road
Cons
- Traffic — Ratchadaphisek Road traffic is legendary; expect delays during rush hour if using the main road
- View Blockage — Some lower-floor units may face neighboring commercial buildings, limiting privacy
- Price — Due to the larger unit sizes, the total rental price can be higher than smaller, newer competitors nearby
The Bottom Line
In 2026, Quinn Ratchada 17 remains the "Solid Choice" of Sutthisan. It is perfect for office workers at Muang Thai Phatra or commuters using the MRT who want a spacious, high-quality home with zero compromises on food and convenience. If you value a "Real Living" size (45+ sqm) over ultra-modern gimmicks, this is the best building in Soi 17.
