At least 28 new community malls will be opened in Bangkok and suburban areas in 2015-16 in response to growing urbanisation and changing lifestyles.
Community malls accounted for the biggest growth in the retail sector last year. Over a half or 147,000 square metres, out of the total new retail space of 282,600 square metres, came from community malls.
Surachet Kongcheep, associate director of Colliers International (Thailand) Co, said 25 new community malls with over 320,000 sqm were slated to open this year. Among them, 14 projects are in western Bangkok including Kalapapruek, Ratchapruek and Phetkasem Soi 48
