_ EY Thailand’s move to One Bangkok signals ‘flight to quality’ in office market

EY Corporate Services Limited has entered a new chapter: relocating its office to One Bangkok, one of the city’s most ambitious mixed-use developments. Knight Frank believes this reflects a broader shift underway in corporate real estate strategies, as leading occupiers place increasing emphasis on sustainability, employee experience and future-ready workplace design, alongside long-term efficiency and value.

Advised by Knight Frank Thailand Leasing division, EY’s relocation mirrors the ongoing “flight to quality”, with organisations consolidating into more efficient, higher-grade offices within landmark developments that support talent attraction and long-term growth.

Panya Jenkitvathanalert, Head of Office Strategy and Solutions at Knight Frank Thailand, said, “EY’s move to One Bangkok is more than just a relocation: it’s a transformation. Quality infrastructure, sustainability credentials and employee experience are now central to productivity and talent retention.”

One Bangkok has rapidly positioned itself at the forefront of Bangkok’s flight to quality, attracting quality occupiers drawn to its integrated amenities, LEED-certified buildings and future-ready building technology.

Paul Luciani, Director of Real Estate for Asia-Pacific at Ernst and Young Services Pty Limited, Australia, added, “Relocating to One Bangkok is a key milestone in EY Thailand’s long-term strategy. Our new office supports how we work today while positioning us for the future-enhancing collaboration, client interaction, and employee well-being.”

Reflecting on the wider implications for occupier strategy, Tim Armstrong, Global Head of Occupier Strategy & Solutions at Knight Frank, concluded, “This transaction underscores how occupier strategy has evolved beyond square metres. Today, the most forward-thinking organisations are using real estate as a lever for talent, sustainability, and future-ready workplace design.”
