As the sole leader in Thai real estate market, Pruksa capitalizes on its expertise in residential development to help customers keep up with the emerging trends ahead of time. The three core principles of the global trends that shape how we live today and in the future are captured as follows: (1) Health & Wellness Redefined by bringing together the healthcare expertise from Vimut Hospital and enhancing the level of comprehensive health care for Pruksa residents. (2) Lifestyle Disruption, including the rise of working from home, the trend of making the best use of home space, the use of Internet of Things (IoT) in daily life and (3) Sustainability and Green investment. The latter resonates with Pruksa’s belief that a home is an investment for one’s lifetime, so the house should not be designed for today’s lifestyle but also for tomorrow. As such, the strategic direction of Pruksa’s brand is gearing towards under the concept “Tomorrow. Reimagined,” giving our promise that Pruksa would never cease to create and develop products and services in response to the dynamic lifestyle of customers today and in the future.
