Land acquisition
Description
Central Pattana undertakes research to identify land that is suitable for the company’s investment plans. When selecting sites, we not only look at a range of factors such as site location, potential for development, customer needs, competition intensity and urban expansion rates but also give consideration to the conservation of biodiversity. This includes no cutting down of trees and protecting and preserving water resources, species, habitats, and ecosystems. We acquire lands for development through direct acquisition as well as through agents and with every acquisition action a price analysis is performed to compare the price offered against the appraised and market values to determine price reasonableness. During the process, we also identify legal and other requirements that apply to the development and assess potential constraints in the construction project, to help ensure the success of the project.
