AP Thailand, Thailand's leading property developer with a promise of Cheevit Dee Dee Tee Lueak Eng Dai, led by Ms. Tippawan Sirikoon, Deputy Chief People Officer, and Mrs. Supanida Chantraporn, Director, AP OPEN HOUSE, together with Mr. Yosuke Matsunaga, Unit Leader of International Business Planning Department, Mitsubishi Estate Co., Ltd., joined forces in further show of strong and sustainable friendship as both firms proceed to build on the success of AP OPEN HOUSE which is in its 9th year in 2024 by taking a group of winning students from the programme on a field trip to study Mitsubishi Estate Co., Ltd. renovation operations in Japan under the key concept RENOVATING HOME: EMPOWERING LIFE. Aiming to bring the potential of the new generation to the next level, and also to allow the youngsters to join in an effort creating residential projects that factor in sustainability in all dimensions. The programme reflects both companies' commitment to elevating Thailand's
real estate industry by inspiring and sharing new ideas to revitalise second-hand homes in downtown Bangkok, ensuring they thrive and grow sustainably with the city.
AP Thailand #APThaiNo1PropertyDeveloper provided a unique opportunity for four university students who won AP OPEN HOUSE 2024 to enjoy a special experience as they take on a trip to observe the business of renovating housing and office building projects in downtown Tokyo and Yokohama under the management of Mitsubishi Estate Co., Ltd., known to be a world-class property developer and expert in property renovation with more than two decades of experience (started large-scale renovation business of office building in 2001 and condominium renovation business in 2014).
World-class experience in sustainable renovation
The highlighted know-how shared under the concept of RENOVATING HOME: EMPOWERING LIFE which is quite an eye opener from Mitsubishi Estate Co., Ltd. - AP's business partner, ranges from planning to construction. The students joined in a learning process involving techniques for transforming old properties into new ones that meet evolving lifestyle needs. They also learned about the technology and innovation behind safe housing, user-friendly design that caters to all groups of people ranging from the elderly to children and universal design, disaster-resistant construction and sustainable home renovation, to name just a few.
From making a home more than a residence to offering good living quality on homeowner's terms
Thailand's downtown property development industry is fast changing. With land becoming scarce and prices rising each year, the demand for housing that fits lifestyle needs continues to grow. Renovating existing properties currently in abundance, especially large condominium units by the main roads and near the mass rapid transit lines is therefore another interesting solution. That's because it enables urbanites to secure residences that meet their needs in prime locations. Renovation adds significant value to existing properties by rejuvenating them, making them more comfortable, safer, energy-efficient, and environmentally friendly-aligning with the needs of modern urbanites.
AP Thailand and Mitsubishi Estate Co., Ltd. hope that the knowledge gained from the field trip and the intensity of the best internship programme in Thailand - AP OPEN HOUSE - over the last two months will allow the 40 participating university students to benefit from actual work experiences and, importantly, to be inspired as they step into the real estate industry and work together to apply innovative ideas, such as the space renovation trend that will grow in tandem with modern lifestyles meeting the needs of Thais and adding more market value to the properties and making the city nicer to live.
