- Issara Real Estate Investment Trust (SET: ISSARA) is a Thailand-based real estate investment trust focused on the acquisition, freehold ownership, leasing, and asset management of prime commercial and office properties. Headquartered in Bangkok, Thailand, the trust was established in 2024 through the conversion of the Bangkok Commercial Property Fund (BKKCP), which originally commenced operations in 2003. The trust generates stable, long-term revenue through property leasing, tenancy management, and value-accretive real estate operations across the Bangkok metropolitan area. Issara Real Estate Investment Trust holds freehold title to 195 units encompassing a total net leasable area of approximately 32,949.22 square meters across two flagship multi-tenant commercial buildings: Charn Issara Tower, encompassing 27 commercial and office strata-title units totaling approximately 7,065.53 square meters situated on Rama IV Road, Bang Rak, Bangkok; and Charn Issara Tower 2, encompassing 168 commercial and office units totaling approximately 25,883.69 square meters situated on New Petchaburi Road, Huai Khwang, Bangkok. The trust’s primary offerings and services encompass long-term and flexible commercial office space leasing; ground-floor and podium retail unit leasing; allocated vehicular parking space rentals and management; building common area licensing; and integrated facility management services, including utility provisioning, central air-conditioning, building security, and telecommunications infrastructure access. The trust serves a broad customer base comprising multinational corporations, domestic enterprises, professional service providers, financial institutions, and retail merchants. In major recent operational and corporate developments, the trust successfully executed its structural transformation from a property fund (BKKCP) to a modern real estate investment trust structure, officially listing and commencing trading on the Stock Exchange of Thailand in December 2024. As part of this comprehensive restructuring, the trust established updated governance and operating frameworks by appointing Charn Issara REIT Management Company Limited as the designated REIT manager, Charn Issara Development Public Company Limited as the property manager, and One Asset Management Limited as the trustee, thereby enhancing operational flexibility, liquidity, and portfolio optimization capabilities.
