Quick Project Facts

What Is Khun By Yoo?

Khun By Yoo was developed by Sansiri Public Company Limited in joint venture with BTS Group Holdings, and sits in Soi Thong Lo 12 (Sukhumvit 55) in Khlong Tan Nuea, Watthana, Bangkok. Built around an Industrial Heritage design concept that captures the distinctive lifestyle and character of the Thong Lo neighborhood, the project was designed by YOO Studio together with world-renowned designer Philippe Starck — making it one of Sansiri's first branded-residence projects. It is a single 27-storey tower with 148 units in total, offering layouts from 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom units to penthouses, with sizes starting around 41.5 square meters and going beyond 300 square meters. It was completed in 2020, making it a ready-to-move-in condo today where buyers can inspect an actual unit right away.

Location: How Close Is It to BTS Thong Lo?

Khun By Yoo sits in Soi Thong Lo 12, roughly 1.2 kilometers from BTS Thong Lo — further than condos located directly on Sukhumvit Road. Most residents get to the station by car, motorbike taxi, or the project's own shuttle rather than on foot. That said, the location sits at the heart of Soi Thong Lo, surrounded by restaurants, cafes, and the well-known community mall The Commons Thonglor, with landmarks such as EmQuartier, Emporium, Samitivej Sukhumvit Hospital, and Camillian Hospital nearby. It suits those who value the distinctive atmosphere and lifestyle of Thong Lo more than a short walk to the station. For those driving, the project is close to Sukhumvit Road, New Phetchaburi Road, and the Si Rat Expressway, making it easy to get into the city.

Facilities at Khun By Yoo

Khun By Yoo comes with distinctively designed, luxury-grade facilities: The Greeting Hall lobby, a temperature-controlled 30-meter infinity-edge pool with a jacuzzi and kids' pool, a steam room, a reading lounge, and a meeting room for those who need to work outside the home. There's also a fitness center, a yoga room, a game room, and a screening room for private entertainment, plus a rooftop Sky Lawn and Khun Bar for socializing. Parking is automated and covers more than 100% of units, alongside EV charging stations and 24-hour security — suited to residents who value design and a high degree of privacy.

Khun By Yoo: Latest Sale and Rental Prices

The starting sale price at Khun By Yoo is ฿18,500,000 for a 49-square-meter unit, working out to roughly ฿377,600 per square meter. The starting rental price for the same 49-square-meter unit is ฿65,000 per month. Prices across the project vary considerably by unit size, floor, and view — larger units and penthouses command significantly higher prices — so interested buyers or renters should confirm pricing for the specific unit they want directly with the Connex Property team to get the latest information matched to genuinely available units.

Strengths and Things to Consider Before Deciding

Strengths

The project's biggest strength is its world-class design by Philippe Starck, something you won't find in a typical condo. It was developed by Sansiri in joint venture with BTS Group, which guarantees a level of quality and credibility, and it offers a full suite of luxury facilities. It also sits at the heart of Soi Thong Lo, known for its distinctive lifestyle, restaurants, and community malls, and since it's already completed, there's no risk of construction delays.

Things to Consider

That said, the distance of roughly 1.2 kilometers from BTS Thong Lo is considerably further than condos located directly at the station, so anyone who wants to walk to the BTS daily should factor in the extra travel time. The price per square meter also runs high, reflecting the project's luxury design focus. Interested buyers should check the condition of the unit and common areas before deciding, and ask clearly about common area fees and the sinking fund.

Who Is Khun By Yoo Best Suited For?

With its world-class design and central Thong Lo location, Khun By Yoo suits those who appreciate distinctive architecture and design, want a high degree of privacy, and either own a car or are comfortable using ride-hailing services. It also suits executives and expats looking for housing in a premium lifestyle neighborhood, as well as investors seeking a luxury condo to rent out to upscale tenants who prioritize design over a short walk to the BTS.
