In the first six months of the year, the company launched seven projects worth around THB8.68 billion (US$275 million).
Of the new condominium projects planned for the second half of the year, the first to be launched is Aspire Sathorn-Taksin, worth THB890 million (US$28.19 million).

According to the company’s research, of the properties for sale in Greater Bangkok in the first quarter of the year, 12,907 of the 20,343 condominium units on the market (roughly 63 percent), fell into that price range.
In the meantime, since introducing the project last month, Asian Property Development has sold 70 percent of the 540 Aspire units on Rattanathibet at a starting price of THB 1.2 million (US$38,000).
In light of the demand for condos that fall into the aforementioned price range, the company launched a new marketing campaign, Aspiring Heights by AP, at Centralworld, which ran last weekend.

The company targeted sales of THB700 million (US$22.17 million) from the event.
