Magnolias Waterfront Residences

Magnolias Waterfront Residences is a single-tower condominium on Charoen Nakhon Road in Khlong Ton Sai, Khlong San, on the western bank of the Chao Phraya. Magnolia Quality Development Corporation built it, and completion is dated to the late 2010s. The tower stands 70 floors tall and holds 379 units. One listing source gives its tenure as freehold.

The river frontage and the neighbouring ICONSIAM mall, about a five-minute walk by one account, define the location. BTS Saphan Taksin is roughly a kilometre away. BestBKKCondos tracks 10 listings here, 8 for rent and 2 for sale.

Facilities lean toward family and river living, and sources describe an infinity pool and a shuttle boat. Pets are restricted: one source says they are not allowed unless the juristic office permits them.

Charoen Nakhon Road, near BTS Saphan Taksin

Sources disagree on the nearest station, with figures from 0.22 km to 1.02 km for BTS Saphan Taksin and nearby stops, so treat it as a walk or a short ride. The Gold Line stop at ICONSIAM serves the mall, which holds shops, restaurants and a river-facing dining area. MRT Hua Lamphong is also listed within reach. Sources mention schools and hospitals in the surrounding districts but name none, so check specific distances before deciding. The Chao Phraya promenade gives the main outdoor space nearby.

• Affluent owner-occupiers who want river views and a mall at the door.
• Expat families renting large three and four bedroom units near international schools across the river.
• Buyers seeking a trophy address in a tall tower with sky villa and duplex options.

It does not suit budget buyers, pet owners, or anyone who wants a short walk to a BTS station every day.

Our listings show two units for sale: a 146 sqm three-bedroom at 61,000,000 THB and a 301 sqm five-bedroom at 133,500,000 THB, about 418,000 and 444,000 THB per sqm. Rents in our listings run from 50,000 to 65,000 THB a month for one-bedrooms, 85,000 to 130,000 THB for two-bedrooms, 150,000 THB for a three-bedroom and 180,000 THB for four-bedrooms of about 174 sqm. We do not quote a yield.

One listing source describes the tenure as freehold, so confirm the title with the juristic office. Foreign buyers purchase within the 49% foreign quota; check what remains with the juristic office.

Risks to weigh

• Asking prices are very high, and few comparable sales make fair value hard to judge.
• A tall tower with many facilities tends to carry larger common fees; ask for the current rate.
• The pet restriction narrows the pool of tenants and future buyers.
