Mitihoon – Krungsri (Bank of Ayudhya Public Company Limited) underscores its leadership in sustainable finance by providing a THB 6,500 million Sustainability-Linked Long-Term Loan facility to support Bayswater Company Limited (BWT), a joint venture between Central Pattana Public Company Limited (Central Pattana) and Grand Canal Land Public Company Limited (GLAND), in the development of “The Central,” a new flagship mixed-use destination on a 49-rai site near Central Ladprao. With a total project value THB 21,000 million, the development will feature 460,000 sq.m. of gross building area (GBA) and is scheduled to open in 4Q2026.

The “The Central” project is being developed in line with Central Pattana’s sustainability framework, with key performance indicator and sustainability performance targets focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions in Scope 1 (direct emissions) and Scope 2 (indirect emissions from energy consumption). In addition, the project promotes the adoption of renewable energy and the development of green buildings within the complex – marking another significant milestone in Central Pattana’s journey toward sustainable mixed-use development.

Mr. Kenichi Yamato, Krungsri President and Chief Executive Officer, said: “We are delighted to support Central Pattana and GLAND in the development of ‘The Central’, which will become a significant new mixed-use landmark in Bangkok. This collaboration reflects Krungsri’s strong commitment to empowering Thailand’s leading corporates in advancing their sustainability goals in line with internationally recognized standards and principles, through innovative sustainable finance solutions. We believe this project will serve as a model for future developments that harmonize innovation, sustainability, and an improved quality of life for the community.”

Ms. Wallaya Chirathivat, Chief Executive Officer of Central Pattana Public Company Limited, said: “Central Pattana and GLAND share a strong commitment to developing places that create sustainable long-term value for people, communities, and the environment. Guided by our vision Imagining Better Futures for All and our role as a Place Maker that connects People, Place, and Planet in a balanced way, the integration of sustainability-linked financing into The Central Phaholyothin project reflects our intention to embed sustainable finance into project development from the very beginning. This is not merely the creation of a new development, but the laying of a foundation for the future—aligned with our Journey to Net Zero by 2050. This collaboration further reinforces the role of Thailand’s private sector in jointly advancing sustainable finance and elevating real estate development standards to grow responsibly alongside long-term social and environmental stewardship.”

Ms. Naparat Sriwanvit, Chief Executive Officer of Grand Canal Land Public Company Limited and Chief Financial Officer of Central Pattana Public Company Limited, said: “The Central Phaholyothin will be a next-generation mixed-use development designed to enhance quality of life and contribute to sustainable urban development. The project is being developed in accordance with internationally recognized sustainability standards, with a focus on creating long-term value for communities and all stakeholders. On this occasion, the Company would like to express its sincere appreciation to Bank of Ayudhya (Krungsri) as a key financial partner for its continued support, particularly in advancing sustainability-driven financing approaches that align with Central Pattana’s development philosophy and ESG ambitions, driven under the ‘The Ecosystem for All’ model. The Central Phaholyothin will stand as another world-class development, elevating the Phaholyothin area into Bangkok’s next emerging CBD.”

This partnership marks an important step forward in the long-standing relationship between Central Pattana, GLAND, and Krungsri, as the organizations continue working together to deliver new project developments and advance long-term sustainability goals.
