The luxury home developer Quality Houses Plc plans five new projects worth
7.7 billion baht this year and another 13 worth a combined 21 billion baht next
year, according to chief executive officer Rutt Phanijphand.
The company has already launched two townhouse projects: the 450-million-baht
Casa City Nuanchan with 112 units and the 480-million-baht Casa City
Ramkhamhaeng with 111 townhouses.
Also in the pipeline this year are two detached-house estates: Prukpirom Regent
Ratchaphruk-Sathorn with 106 units and worth 3.2 billion baht, and Laddarom
Ratchaphruk-Pin Klao with 210 units and a value of 2.1 billion baht. As well, it
will build 175 townhouses at the 1.5-billion-baht Casa Ville Grand Ekamai-Rarm
Intra development.
Mr Rutt said QH expected 10 billion baht in revenue this year, about 87%
generated from sales of housing units and the rest from rental income. During
the first six months, the company recorded 5.13 billion baht in revenue, up 26%
year-on-year with 474 million baht in net profit, up 111%.
Its revenue in the second quarter was 2.62 billion baht, up 28%, while profit
rose 224% to 243 million baht.He said the growth in revenue was the result of
business expansion to cover mid-market customers with townhome products under
the Casa brand.
QH plans 13 developments worth 21 billion baht next year _ two or more of them
townhouses and the rest detached houses. It projects 20% growth in revenue from
housing sales next year.
