One Bangkok and Isetan Mitsukoshi Forge Strategic Alliance to Enhance Bangkok’s Retail and Office Sectors

One Bangkok, a collaborative endeavor between TCC Assets (Thailand) and Frasers Property Holdings (Thailand) Company Limited, has forged a strategic alliance with Isetan Mitsukoshi Holdings Co., Ltd., Japan’s premier department store group. This partnership is poised to significantly bolster Bangkok’s retail and office sectors, centering on two pivotal projects: the introduction of Thailand’s inaugural Mitsukoshi supermarket and food hall, and a joint investment in One Bangkok Office Tower 4. These initiatives are expected to solidify One Bangkok’s status as an international nexus for top-tier business professionals, investors, and tourists.

This collaboration will unveil a pioneering “Depachika” supermarket and food hall concept within One Bangkok’s retail framework, situated in the basement level 1 of the Parade, spanning 4,600 square meters. This upscale gastronomic venue is designed to transform the culinary and shopping landscape in Bangkok, offering an opulent assortment of both international and local fare. Visitors will encounter a vast array of premium brands, featuring select fresh produce, meats, and seafood from exclusive farming networks and esteemed Japanese suppliers. Moreover, the food hall will host a diverse mix of famous and emerging Japanese dining options, pastry shops, cafes, and restaurants, all part of an enriched and comprehensive shopping experience dubbed ‘The Rhythmic Experience’ at the Parade, making One Bangkok Retail a must-visit destination.

Panote Sirivadhanabhakdi, Group Chief Executive Officer of Frasers Property Limited, emphasises the significance of this partnership, stating, “We are pleased to forge a strategic alliance with Isetan Mitsukoshi, a globally renowned company with a 350-year legacy. Their decision to bring a distinctive Japanese culinary experience courtesy of Mitsukoshi to One Bangkok will enhance our mixed retail tenants as a key anchor, giving an immersive authentic Japanese tradition and experience to Thai residents and international visitors. Uniquely, our joint venture goes beyond the enhancement of retail landscape but extends to co-investment in One Bangkok Office Tower 4 signifying significant steps towards our vision of creating a new urban core that enhances Bangkok’s business and lifestyle offerings.”

Toshiyuki Hosoya, President and CEO of Isetan Mitsukoshi Holdings Ltd ., expressed his excitement for the joint venture with One Bangkok that “As we target customers from around the world, Asia is considered a highly significant region for us. Thailand especially has strong ties with Japan and a large customer base which appreciates the quality of Japanese products and shares the values held by Isetan Mitsukoshi’s Department Store and we believe that Bangkok has a high potential to drive the value even further. The One Bangkok project, with its progressive approach in all aspects, including design and sustainability, aligns perfectly with our company’s vision and exemplifies the innovative, forward-thinking development we aim to be part of. By bringing our long-established culture and tradition, we are confident that Isetan Mitsukoshi will enrich the One Bangkok project, offering a unique and valuable experience.”

The collaboration between One Bangkok and Isetan Mitsukoshi Holdings includes a joint investment in One Bangkok Office Tower 4, highlighting the district’s attractiveness to the global office sector. This strengthens its capacity to draw top local and international companies that prioritize premium office space, emphasizing employee well-being, sustainability, and smart technology. Together, this strategic alliance and shared vision aim to transform Bangkok into a prominent economic center on the world stage.
