Overview
The Prio Signature Condo is a 15-story modern high-rise that serves as a sentinel for the southern entrance to the city. Completed in 2016 by SRC Chiang Mai, it consists of three interconnected towers that dominate the skyline near the Airport Intersection. It is widely regarded as the most convenient residence for frequent travelers, located just a 3-minute drive from the terminal.
The building's signature feature is its "Sky Living" concept, offering rooftop gardens and lounges that provide unobstructed 360-degree views of the city and Doi Suthep. Inside, the project offers a diverse mix of units, including rare Double Volume Duplexes that provide a loft-style aesthetic rarely found in this part of town.
Developer
SRC Chiang Mai Company Limited developed The Prio as a premium lifestyle project. The build quality is noted for using higher-grade materials than standard mid-range builds, including digital door locks and large, floor-to-ceiling windows. The building management is experienced in handling a mix of long-term residents and "aparthotel" guests, keeping the shared facilities like the 3rd-floor library and game room in top condition.
Location & Transit
The Prio is located at the absolute nexus of the airport district, making it a dream for those who prioritize infrastructure access.

Pros
- Mall Access - Living here means having a massive supermarket (Tops), a cinema, and hundreds of restaurants literally across the street.
- Airport Proximity - It is the closest luxury high-rise to CNX. You can watch planes take off from the rooftop lounge (and surprisingly, the soundproofing is excellent).
- High-Floor Views - Because there are few tall buildings in the immediate vicinity, the views from the upper floors (12-15) are completely unblocked.
- Modern Amenities - The inclusion of a game room, library, and meeting rooms makes it a very functional space for digital nomads.
Cons
- Traffic Noise - Being at a major intersection means constant traffic hum. Aim for a "Mountain View" (West) or "Pool View" (Inner) unit to minimize the noise.
- Transient Feel - Due to its popularity with travelers, the lobby can feel like a busy hotel during peak afternoon hours.
- Parking Logistics - While there is covered parking, the entry and exit into the Airport Intersection traffic can be tricky during rush hour.
- Strictly No Pets
Best For
- Frequent Travelers - Who want a base they can reach within minutes of landing.
- Digital Nomads - Who value the co-working facilities and being walking distance to a major mall.
- Investment Owners - This building remains one of the highest-demand rentals for airport staff and medical professionals.
The Bottom Line
The Prio Signature is "The Airport Hub." It offers a high-efficiency, metropolitan lifestyle that is perfect for those who want to be in the center of the city's transport and retail infrastructure. While it trades away the quiet greenery of the suburbs for a busy intersection, the rooftop "Sky" facilities provide a peaceful, scenic escape from the urban energy below.
