Bangkok mall developer Siam Piwat will invest 10 billion baht ($300 million) to build IconPhuket. The entertainment and retail complex opens on the resort island in 2029.
This is the developer’s first major commercial real estate venture outside Thailand’s capital. In Bangkok, it operates Siam Paragon and IconSiam.
IconPhuket will anchor Synthesis Ark Phuket, an 80-hectare (500 rai) mixed-use smart city managed by CV Group of Companies with a projected investment of 50 billion baht ($1.5 billion). Groundwork has started. Siam Piwat targets 80,000 to 100,000 visitors a day once the complex opens.
Plans centre on an open commercial model rather than an enclosed mall. One-third of the floor area will house 12 indoor and outdoor attractions alongside retail, restaurants, and cultural spaces focused on Southern Thailand’s 14 provinces. Open green space will cover over 40 per cent of the site footprint.
The wider Synthesis Ark master plan includes condominiums, luxury villas, office towers, hotels, and healthcare clinics. Phase one finishes in 2032. Planners estimate the combined development will generate 50,000 to 80,000 direct and indirect jobs across construction and daily operations.
A consortium of technical firms, Urban Architects, P Landscape, Atelier Ten, and Systra MVA (Thailand), will design environmental systems, smart-city transit, and waste processing.
