Four Seasons Private Residences

The Four Seasons Private Residences were developed by Country Group Development on Crown Property Bureau land, and units are sold as leasehold. Sources describe an initial lease of 25 or 30 years with renewal options, so the contract terms matter more than the headline price. Units run from one-bedrooms of about 104 sqm to five-bedrooms of about 495 sqm, plus six large penthouses. Seventy-odd distinct sale asks give a median of about ฿435,000 per sqm, most between ฿332,000 and ฿625,000. Rents are advertised at a median of about ฿250,000 a month for a two-bedroom and ฿350,000 for a three-bedroom.

117% above the Sathorn median of ฿176,600/m², measured across 131 listings.

Resale price/sqm: ฿330,000–฿625,000 (indicative — confirm current figures before you buy)

The residences are managed by Four Seasons, and facilities match: a club on floors 64–66 with an infinity pool, a lounge, a cinema and a gym, a riverside deck with a second pool and a spa, and around 1.7 parking bays per unit. Portals disagree on the common fee, ฿120 or ฿188 per sqm a month, and the sinking fund is about ฿1,000 per sqm. On a 200 sqm unit the difference between those fees is over ฿13,000 a month, so get the current figure in writing.

There are always dozens of units for sale across a very wide price range. Because the title is leasehold, every buyer will ask how many years remain, so a resale price depends on the lease as much as on the floor and view. Thailand publishes no transaction register, so every figure here is an asking price, not a recorded sale.

The tower stands on the Charoen Krung riverfront beside the Four Seasons Hotel and Capella Bangkok, joined by a riverside promenade. The old Charoen Krung district, the Sathorn business area and ICONSIAM across the river are all close, and most of them are easiest to reach by the building's own boat.

Yes, but not as freehold ownership. Four Seasons Private Residences is a leasehold building: what you buy is the right to use the unit for the years left on the lease, not ownership of the unit or the land, so the 49% foreign-ownership quota for freehold condos is not what governs the purchase. Before you commit, confirm the lease end date, whether and how the lease can be renewed or transferred, and how the lease is registered at the Land Office — with the project's documents and a lawyer.

Magnolias Waterfront Residences, across the river beside ICONSIAM, is the other branded ultra-luxury riverfront tower of the same era, and it is freehold. Our guide puts it at about ฿340,000–385,000 per sqm. Four Seasons asks more despite being leasehold. That premium is the price of the brand, the service and the Charoen Krung address. Choose Magnolias for freehold title. Choose Four Seasons for the hotel-run service.
