Overview
The Selected Kaset-Ngamwongwan is a modern 20-storey high-rise designed to cater specifically to the "University & Medical" demographic. Completed in 2018 by L.P.N. Development, the project is strategically located directly opposite the prestigious Kasetsart University and adjacent to Vibhavadi Hospital. It was built under the concept of supporting "Real Living," with a heavy focus on academic-friendly amenities like expansive libraries and group study zones.
The project is famous for its "Academic Hub" atmosphere, featuring a library area with wide working seats and a rooftop fitness center on the 19th floor that provides an 180-degree panorama of the Chatuchak district. In 2026, it remains a dominant rental asset due to its 6-minute walking proximity to the SRT Red Line (Bang Khen Station), making it a rare high-rise choice that balances university convenience with professional rail connectivity.
Developer
L.P.N. Development Public Co., Ltd. is a veteran developer famous for the "Lumpini" brand. The Selected represents their more boutique, high-spec line of condos. Unlike their typical mass-market projects, this building features higher-end materials, 2.7-meter ceilings, and a design language targeted at the younger, modern student/professional. Maintenance is exceptionally well-handled, with a utility fee of 60 THB/sqm.
