• ‘Central Krabi’ received the ‘Eco-Friendly Mall of the Year – Thailand’ award as Thailand’s first Sustainable-Lifestyle Shopping Centre, reflecting Central Pattana’s vision of creating destinations that respect nature, empower communities, and promote sustainable living.

Bangkok – Central Pattana plc., Thailand’s No.1 sustainable real estate developer, guided by its vision of “Imagining better futures for all” and a pioneer in Retail-Led Mixed-Use Development, has once again brought Thailand to the global stage by securing major honors at the Retail Asia Awards for the third consecutive year. The achievement reinforces the company’s leadership in shaping A Future-Led Ecosystem that enhances quality of life, drives urban growth, and delivers long-term sustainable value. In 2026, Central Pattana received two prestigious awards: “New Mall of the Year – Thailand” for Central Park, a new mixed-use development that is creating a new phenomenon as a New World-Class Landmark of Bangkok; and “Eco-Friendly Mall of the Year – Thailand” for Central Krabi, which is setting a new benchmark as Thailand’s first Sustainable-Lifestyle Shopping Centre, seamlessly integrating environmental stewardship, community development, and sustainable living.

The Retail Asia Awards is one of the region’s most prestigious retail industry awards, celebrating organizations and projects that set benchmarks for innovation, development, and long-term positive impact across businesses, communities, and urban landscapes.

Mr. Chatree Kowitanupong, Head of Project Development of Central Pattana Plc., said: “Receiving these two prestigious awards at the Retail Asia Awards 2026 reflects our vision of developing projects that go beyond creating buildings or shopping centres. We aim to create a Centre of Life — destinations that address the future needs of cities, people, and the environment.

For ‘Central Park’, being recognised as “New Mall of the Year” demonstrates our success in elevating urban living experiences by seamlessly integrating nature into everyday life. Meanwhile, ‘Central Krabi’ reflects our development approach that respects nature, embraces local ways of life, and places community collaboration at the heart of the project.

These achievements are not solely Central Pattana’s success; they are the result of strong collaboration among our customers, partners, tenants, and local communities. We believe sustainable growth can only be achieved when businesses, people, and the environment thrive together. This principle will continue to guide our developments under the vision of A Future-Led Ecosystem — creating value, unlocking opportunities for growth, and shaping a better future for all.”

The Central Park development comprises a shopping centre and office tower, seamlessly integrated with the Dusit Thani Hotel and residential components within the mixed-use Dusit Central Park project. The retail component, Central Park, has been introduced as Bangkok’s newest world-class landmark, bringing together urban living and nature through its Park Life & Urban Life Integration concept to enhance quality of life for people in the city. The project features Thailand’s largest rooftop park, spanning more than 7 rai, which extends the green landscape of Lumpini Park into the development’s ecosystem. This unique green space strengthens quality-of-life infrastructure within Bangkok’s central business district while creating a vibrant destination for residents, workers, and visitors alike. During its opening period, the shopping centre attracted more than 235,000 visits, driving strong sales performance for tenants and generating significant public attention, establishing itself as the talk of the town and Bangkok’s newest world-class landmark.

Central Krabi has distinguished itself through its sustainability achievements, helping Central Pattana secure the Eco-Friendly Mall of the Year award for the second consecutive year. The recognition underscores the company’s leadership in developing projects that integrate business growth with environmental responsibility. Central Krabi is the first shopping centre in Thailand to pursue EDGE Zero Certification, achieving more than 40% energy savings compared to conventional buildings. The project has installed solar panels across a total area of 14,400 square metres, generating 3.2 megawatts of renewable energy — the highest solar power generation capacity within Central Pattana’s portfolio. The development also incorporates sustainable materials throughout the project, including terrazzo made from recycled glass bottles for seating areas and furniture produced using Hybrid Cement, which helps reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 21%. In addition, the project’s “Made by Krabi” development concept reflects Central Pattana’s belief that great destinations should be created together with local communities. The identity, culture, and pride of the people of Krabi have been thoughtfully integrated into every aspect of the project, making Central Krabi more than just a shopping centre. It is a place where local communities feel a sense of ownership and can grow sustainably alongside the development.

Building on the success of Central Park and Central Krabi, Central Pattana continues to advance its vision of A Future-Led Ecosystem, connecting people, businesses, and communities through future-ready destinations and mixed-use developments. Guided by its commitment to creating livable and sustainable cities for future generations, the company is accelerating its journey toward Net Zero 2050 while creating long-term shared value for the economy, society, and the environment.
