A PREDICTION OF RENTAL RATE FOR OFFICE BUILDINGS IN BANGKOK CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT: CASE STUDY OF OFFICE ALONG THE MRT CHALOEM RATCHAMONGKHON LINE

Abstract
In this study, the factors influencing the rental rate for office buildings along the MRT Chaloem Ratchamongkhon Line in Bangkok's new central business district have been investigated and a model of the rental rate for office buildings along the MRT Chaloem Ratchamongkhon Line was established. From a website advertising office building rentals, information was gathered from 77 samples of office building developments for rent within 600 meters of the MRT Chaloem Ratchamongkhon Line (Ratchadaphisek Station - Sam Yan Station). After that, multiple regression analysis was used to analyse the data, and the Paired t-test was used to determine the model's correctness. According to the research findings, the rental rate model for office buildings along the MRT Chaloem Ratchamongkhon Line in Bangkok's new central business district is 1,047.345 + [(-0.448) x (the distance from the MRT station)] + [(-0.077) x (the distance from the shopping mall)] + [(289.092 x (green building certification)], which can account for 33.20 percent of the predictive power. The distance from an MRT station is one factor influencing the rental pricing for office buildings along the MRT Chaloem Ratchamongkhon Line in Bangkok's new central business district, the distance from shopping mall, and green building certification. The results of Paired t-test obtained a value of Sig. equal to 0.610, indicating that the created model can be used to predict the rental rate for office buildings along the MRT Chaloem Ratchamongkhon Line in the new central business district of Bangkok.
