The Forestias: A City of the Future in Bangkok with Its Own Forest
Feb. 24, 2025
Imagine a metropolis where instead of concrete jungles, your windows overlook a real tropical forest. Where living hedges replace grey walls, and shaded gardens and spacious parks take the place of stuffy parking lots.
This unique urban living concept is embodied in The Forestias — Bangkok's first premium mixed-use complex with its own forest, and Thailand's largest private project, valued at 3.6 billion USD.
One of its key features is an unprecedented decision to dedicate 56% of the territory to a real tropical forest. Developers at MQDC engaged ecologists who carefully designed the forest concept and plan, crafting a green space that thrives naturally. Their phased introduction has created a sustainable ecosystem. Thoughtful landscape design creates diverse natural zones: from scenic walking parks to cozy corners where you can encounter forest inhabitants in their natural environment.
👉 SUNWAY says:
MQDC, Thailand's largest private developer with over 30 years of experience, follows the "For All Well-Being" principle and aims to improve quality of life through sustainable innovations. One outstanding advantage of their projects is a 30-year warranty on building structures, roofing, doors, windows, pipes, and electrical wiring.
The Forestias combines all life essentials: from premium hotels (6-star Six Senses and 5-star Indigo) to extensive medical infrastructure, including a massive multi-specialty medical complex and specialized Health & Brain Center within Aspen Tree, a project for seniors. It also features retail and office spaces, educational institutions, and community cultural centers.
At the Happitat complex entrance, a 200.000 sq.m themed leisure and shopping space is being constructed. After completion, it will host vibrant events and celebrations, housing over 300 fashion stores and fine-dining restaurants. This sets a new standard for urban leisure, with everything necessary being located within walking distance from residences.
The Forestias offers different styles of residential properties, each with unique characteristics, making them unique and tailor-made for a range of needs and preferences. Let's explore them in further detail.
- Whizdom — a flagship line of modern living, featuring three unique projects.
Whizdom Destinia offers high-rise residences with panoramic views of forest and cityscape. Apartments are designed in a smart living format with ergonomic layouts and modern technological solutions.
Whizdom Mytopia develops the concept of premium urban apartments where every detail is thoughtfully designed for maximum resident comfort. These properties are already complete and are ready for move-in.
Whizdom Petopia is the only building in the line that not only allows pets but creates a special environment considering the needs of pets and their owners:
- Finishes use pet-safe materials. Floors feature SPC covering that excellently withstands intensive use and resists claw scratches.
- Sound-insulated walls contain noise — meowing and barking stay in your apartment without disturbing the neighbors.
- Pets have their own balcony door — they can independently go out for fresh air or sunbathe anytime
- The rooftop garden features pet-safe plants — your pet can freely explore without risk of poisoning
- The shower supports up to 100 kg and is specially designed for bathing dogs and cats
- When you need to travel, you can leave your pet at the daycare center where experienced specialists provide proper care and attention.
2. Mulberry Grove condominiums and villas — premium family residences with direct access to complex green zones and central infrastructure. Designed for a large family's needs: spacious living rooms for family gatherings, separate zones for different generations, and thoughtfully designed storage systems.
3. The Aspen Tree — a residential concept focused on lifetime care and support of physical, mental, cognitive, and social health. The project includes 3 high-rise and 2 low-rise buildings, a spacious clubhouse with social, medical, and wellness amenities, and The Health & Brain Center for maintaining health and cognitive functions.
The Aspen Tree partnered with the Happiness Research Center at RISC and Canadian geriatric experts Baycrest. The collaboration aims to prevent age-related brain changes in elderly people.
Each residence is adapted for comfortable living for people over 50: barrier-free environment, ergonomic furniture, emergency call systems, smart home systems, and health monitoring devices.
4. Six Senses luxury villas — Southeast Asia's first resort-style luxury residences managed by the international hotel brand. Each villa features a private garden with a pool, and residents get access to signature Six Senses spa treatments, personal concierge service, and exclusive brand events.
5. The Forestias Signature Series — a 44-story skyscraper with just 122 apartments from 140 sq.m for the most discerning clients. This building has the best location in the project: along the longest forest border. Each apartment offers mesmerizing forest views. Moreover, all residences feature private lift access directly to living spaces. Owners also receive exclusive access to neighboring Hotel Indigo amenities.
The Forestias also implements innovative and eco-friendly technologies, including energy and utility management systems. The Central Utility Plant (CUP), Energy Management Unit (EMU), and Energy Recovery Ventilation (ERV) ensure sustainable quality of life. More details in our next article.
