Central Pattana Plc (CPN), Thailand’s leading real estate developer, will open the first phase of its 43rd shopping centre, Central Park, on September 4, aiming to attract 25 million visitors annually.
The new mall is part of the Dusit Central Park mixed-use development, which spans 130,000 square metres of gross building area. The project also includes an office tower, hotel, and residences, with a total investment of 46 billion baht across 23 rai of land. The Central Park brand specifically refers to the shopping centre and office tower.
Nattakit Tangpoonsinthana, CPN’s chief marketing officer, said the first phase will launch under the theme “Here for All of You”, with a strong focus on gastronomy. One of the highlights is the Edible Exhibition, turning the mall into an immersive art experience where the building itself becomes edible art.
The new shopping centre is part of the Dusit Central Park mixed-use development.
The full opening celebration is scheduled for November and will feature additional global brands. CPN aims to position Central Park as Asia’s culinary landmark, offering international dining, art and fashion events, and curated lifestyle experiences throughout the year.
After the grand opening, Central Park is expected to welcome over 25 million visitors yearly, or roughly 70,000 per day, including both locals and international tourists.
Kunayudh Dej-udom, asset director at Central Park, said the development merges urban living with nature, strategically located near Silom and Rama IV roads, opposite Lumpini Park. Designed for future flexibility, all four components—shopping centre, hotel, office, and residences—are connected through green spaces, including a seven-rai rooftop park.
Central Park will feature more than 550 top brands, including Thailand debuts for Kiwamiya, a teppanyaki restaurant serving authentic Japanese wagyu steak; Koubai, a premium shabu-shabu outlet; Long Jing, offering Chinese fusion cuisine from Hangzhou; and Super Matcha, a South Korean green tea brand. The mall will also showcase Michelin-listed eateries and 70 street food legends.
Nattakit emphasized that the development aims to create a landmark destination that elevates Bangkok’s global profile while inspiring new lifestyle trends and experiences.
