BANGKOK -- Top Thai retail developer Central Pattana's five-year investment plan announced Thursday includes over 200 projects in Thailand and neighboring countries, responding to a rebound in personal spending and tourism with the lifting of pandemic restrictions.
The developer has earmarked 135 billion baht ($3.85 billion) for commercial facilities, housing and other properties from 2023 to 2027. Plans include 50 malls, 90 residential areas and 37 hotels in Thailand and elsewhere in Southeast Asia.
