Royal Rajadamri
A joint project between Maneeya Group, Srivikorn Group and Rajadamri Land. It was to be a prestigious retail /office/ residential complex located on 6.5 rai of Crown Property Bureau land on Rajadamri Road.

Encompassing 192 condominium units, 22,492 sqm of office space and 121,926 sqm of retail space, and ensnared between the Five Star Grand Hyatt Erawan and Regent Hotels, it would target high-end tourists and business travelers, plus the many day-tourists and shoppers that flock around World Trade Center, Erawan shrine and Peninsula Plaza.

2Bangkok website reports: "it was to be a 50-story residential tower with a 10-story parking garage connected to a 9-story retail-part in front of the building. Presently debt reduction is being negotiated and will hopefully be done by late 2003 and then construction can resume."

There will be a series of walkways linking it to Peninsula Plaza, Gaysorn Plaza, President Tower Arcade, Amarin Plaza, and the future Omni Marcopolo Hotel.
Sales of condominiums has opened since March 1986.
