Overview
The Empire Place is a landmark of the Sathorn skyline. Completed in 2009 by TCC Capital Land, its design was inspired by Chicago Art Deco architecture, giving it a distinctive, stately appearance with its warm stone facade and crown top.
With 493 units, it is a large community but maintains a high level of privacy due to the sheer size of the building footprint. It is famous for its incredible parking ratio (152%) and its spacious 2-bedroom units, making it a perennial favorite for families working in the nearby Empire Tower.
Developer
TCC Capital Land (now largely folded into other TCC entities like Asset World Corp) built this during the "Golden Era" of Sathorn development. The focus was on grandeur and durability, using heavy stone and wood materials that have aged very gracefully.

Facilities
The Clubhouse:
- Pool: A very long outdoor pool suitable for laps, designed in a classic Roman/Chicago style.
- Tennis Court: Another rare find in the CBD, highly valued by residents.
- Gym: A large, proper gym (not a tiny room) that overlooks the pool.
Pros
- Location — The ultimate location for Sathorn office workers.
- Unit Size — Generous square footage that is hard to find in newer launches like The Line.
- Parking — 152% parking is unheard of today; you will always have a spot.
- Build Quality — Thick walls, solid floors, excellent sound insulation.
Cons
- Aesthetics — The "Brown/Beige" interior and exterior style feels dated to some modern eyes.
- Facilities Age — The gym and pool areas are well-maintained but lack modern "flash" (no co-working space, etc.).
- No Pets
The Bottom Line
The Empire Place is the "Reliable Executive." It isn't trendy, but it is solid, spacious, and perfectly located. For a family needing 100sqm+ in the heart of the financial district, this is the most logical choice.
