Whizdom The Forestias - modern life meets the nature in The Forestias landmark development
Overview
Whizdom The Forestias is a new condo offering modern vertical living amidst the idyllic man-made forest in one of Thailand’s most ambitious developments.
It’s a modern, dynamic condo, comprised of 3 buildings, one of each is pet-friendly, offering excellent home to professionals, young families and proponents of healthy lifestyle. It’s located in The Forestias landmark development, right next to its iconic clubhouse.
The Forestias
The Forestias is the latest mega-scale mixed-use project, developed by MQDC on a giant plot of land on Bang Na-Trad road. It’s Bangkok's first luxury forest community property where residents can enjoy nature as part of an intergenerational community.
The project will include a commercial area, accessible to outsiders, that will include a state-of-the-art medical center, mall and a shopping galleria. The residential area will include 6 residential projects (3 towers of Whizdom condos, Mulberry Grove Condo, Mulberry Grove Villas, Aspen Tree Retirement Homes, Six Senses Residences and Forestias Signature Series), as well as Forest Pavilion clubhouse, Six Senses hotel, Indigo hotel and more.
The center of the project is occupied by 30-Rai tropical forest. The developer hired ecologists who designed the forest, selecting a lineup of plants and animals, introduced in stages to create a sustainable ecosystem.
The Forestias is Thailand's largest private sector property development project, spanning 398 Rai and valued at approximately US$ 3.8 billion. It’s an unprecedented project on a scale that very few developers are capable of pulling off (MQDC is the largest private developer in Thailand, with such projects like ICONSIAM and 101 True Digital Park / Whizdom 101 in their extensive portfolio).

The project is nested in 2500 sqm of lush forest. The developer aims to bring its tenants, in particular the new generation to the nature under the 'feel the wild’ concept/motto. The residents can walk out of their condos directly into the forests walkable zones and elevated pathways.
