Under the “Wellness-Integrated into Everyday Living” concept, Capella Residences Bangkok brings together hospitality, privacy, environmental quality and long-term health planning. The project is scheduled for completion in 2030.
The event was attended by Dr. Poramaporn Prasarttong-Osoth, Chairperson of the Executive Committee and President of BDMS; Dr. Tanupol Virunhagarun, Chief Executive Officer of Group 8, which includes BDMS Wellness Clinic, BDMS Wellness Resort and BDMS Silver; Ms. Narumol Noi-am, Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of BDMS; and Mr. Roland Fasel, President of Capella Hotel Group.
WellEra’s integrated wellness concept
Dr. Tanupol Virunhagarun said WellEra has attracted strong interest as a large-scale development built around health and wellness. He noted that the project supports Thailand’s ambition to become a global wellness destination by combining BDMS’ healthcare knowledge with international partners such as Capella.
“WellEra is designed for people who want health, quality of life and healthy longevity to be part of the same lifestyle,” Dr. Tanupol said. “Our development strategy builds on the strength of the location while creating new value for the wellness market. The partnership with Capella supports our vision for ‘The DNA of World Well-Living,’ a place shaped around the needs of people seeking a healthier way to live.”
WellEra brings together four main components:
- Capella Residences Bangkok, Thailand’s first Capella-branded residences, with 259 units across 45 stories.
- BDMS Wellness Clinic, a center for preventive medicine and personalized healthcare.
- Urban Wellness Retreat, a 20-story building with 168 guest rooms for relaxation and wellness stays.
- Wellness Lifestyle Retail, a collection of retail and service spaces for everyday needs.
A Wellness Garden and a planned connection to Lumphini Park add green space to the development. Across the four components, the project is designed to bring health services into daily routines. Residents and visitors can take health assessments, discuss recommendations with preventive medicine specialists and multidisciplinary teams, and apply guidance to activities such as eating and exercise. They can also choose services and spaces for relaxation based on their individual needs.
A central Bangkok location with access to green space
WellEra sits on Lang Suan-Sarasin Road, opposite Lumphini Park, with access to major business districts, hotels, restaurants, medical facilities and schools. The development also plans to build a pedestrian bridge to Lumphini Park near Gate 7. The connection will give residents convenient access to outdoor activities and one of Bangkok’s largest central green spaces.
The location strategy takes into account daily convenience as well as the quality of the surrounding environment. Access to nature and outdoor recreation is part of the project’s approach to long-term residential well-being.
Architecture, nature and health science
The design philosophy connects architecture, nature and health science through three approaches.
The Art of a Life Well Shaped draws on the grace and detail of Thai art. It also considers the relationship between the buildings, the surrounding city and nearby Lumphini Park.
The Art of Living Well places well-being at the center of residential design. The approach uses the 6S+ principles: Sleep, Strong, Soul, Smart, Social and Span. It also considers air, water, light, sound and temperature to shape a comfortable indoor environment.
The Art of Living Well, Naturally focuses on landscape design. Green areas, natural light and spaces for daily activities are planned to encourage movement, rest and time outdoors.
Personalized health support for residents
Residents will have access to BDMS Longevity Club through BDMS Wellness Clinic. The service begins with health assessments that draw on multiple types of data, including genetic and epigenetic testing, biological age, micronutrient and hormone levels, and cardiovascular health.
BDMS specialists will use the results to prepare a personalized Wellness Life Blueprint, or individual health management plan. Residents can consult with preventive medicine physicians, health consultants, dietitians and exercise specialists. They will also have access to privileges connected to the BDMS hospital network and participating healthcare and lifestyle services.
Dr. Tanupol said the BLC services will help residents understand their health needs and plan care with medical professionals. The development also offers access to participating healthcare services and lifestyle benefits.
Capella Residences Bangkok
Mr. Roland Fasel, President of Capella Hotel Group, said the partnership brings together Capella’s personalized hospitality and BDMS’ work in preventive healthcare, scientific wellness and longevity.
“We’re pleased to work with BDMS on a shared vision for residential living,” Fasel said. “The care and personal attention that guests experience at Capella hotels will also guide our residences. At WellEra, our two areas of expertise come together to support residents’ healthspan and set a new standard for wellness-focused homes.”
Miss Thitiporn Nookong, AVP of Property Development and Managing Director of BDMS Silver, said Capella Residences Bangkok combines the privacy of home with Capella’s hospitality standards and BDMS’ healthcare knowledge. The concept informs the residences, building systems and services that residents use in their daily lives.
The 45-story building will contain 259 homes on floors 8 through 45. It will include 581 parking spaces, equal to about 224% of the number of residential units.
The available home types include:
- 42 one-bedroom residences, approximately 71 to 81 square meters.
- 135 two-bedroom residences, approximately 186 to 278 square meters.
- 69 three-bedroom residences, approximately 186 to 278 square meters.
- 10 four-bedroom residences, approximately 325 to 419 square meters.
- Three penthouses, each approximately 715 square meters.
Wellness features in each residence
The homes follow the “Wellness-Integrated into Everyday Living” concept. Wellness-focused design, technology and building systems will be incorporated into each residence to support indoor comfort and health.
The five main elements are:
- Clean air: High-efficiency filtration and fresh-air supply work with positive indoor air pressure to help limit outdoor PM2.5 from entering each home. The system is designed to meet the air-quality standard used in intensive care units.
- Purified water: Water treatment combines carbon filtration and ultraviolet (UV) treatment with an additional filtration stage designed to remove microplastics from drinking water.
- Circadian lighting: Indoor lighting follows the body’s natural day-and-night cycle, supporting alertness during the day and relaxation in the evening.
- Soundproofing: Acoustic engineering helps reduce unwanted noise and provides a quieter setting for rest and sleep.
- Thermal comfort: Temperature and humidity management helps keep rooms cool at night and limits excess moisture to support comfortable sleep.
Shared spaces across the building
Facilities are located on several floors to support recreation, exercise, healthcare and family activities. On the ground floor, residents will find the reception area and lobby, with connections to healthcare services within WellEra.
The sixth floor will serve as a shared space for social activities and daily life. Its facilities include the Social Salon for gatherings, the Art Studio for creative activities, the Chef’s Table for dining experiences and the Wellness Lounge for relaxation and wellness activities. Families can use the Little Stars Kids Club, while a Residential Clinic, spa, wellness service areas and swimming pool will support residents’ healthcare and leisure needs.
On the 33rd floor, residents will find facilities for active and restorative wellness, with views of Bangkok. These include outdoor spa pools, yoga and Pilates areas, a fitness center, a hydrotherapy area and The Living Room, a place for relaxation and private time.
Healthcare Humanware and optional services
Jira Thawornpradit, M.D., Assistant Director of BDMS Wellness Clinic, said the connection with BDMS Wellness Clinic is a key part of the residential concept. The clinic focuses on preventive medicine and Scientific Wellness, while Healthcare Humanware brings medical services into residential life.
Residents will have access to healthcare professionals, 24-hour nursing and medical support, emergency assistance and coordination with wellness specialists. Depending on individual needs, that support may include physiotherapists, dietitians and health consultants. The services are intended to adapt to residents at different stages of life.
Optional À La Carte and Add-On services will let residents select additional support based on their preferences. Choices include home modifications based on Universal Adaptive Design principles for older residents, in-residence exercise equipment and wellness technology, in-residence dining, physical rehabilitation and exercise programs at home, personalized nutrition planning, and family healthcare. Family services may include children’s health, vaccinations and travel medicine. Each service is optional and subject to individual requirements and applicable terms and conditions.
Construction, sustainability and lease terms
Piling work is complete, and structural construction is scheduled to resume in the fourth quarter of 2026. The development is expected to be completed around 2030. WellEra is targeting WELL Platinum, LEED Gold and Fitwel 3-Star building health and sustainability certifications.
Capella Residences Bangkok is being developed on a leasehold basis. The initial lease term is 30 years, with provisions for entering into an additional 30-year lease, subject to the agreement and applicable laws.
The sales and marketing strategy will focus on buyers who value long-term residential benefits, including the location, privacy, quality of the homes and personalized services. The residences are part of a wellness complex that connects BDMS healthcare expertise with Capella hospitality.
Miss Thitiporn said the architecture includes a subtle smile as a reference to the care invested in the project from its earliest stages. She added that the development will feel complete when residents can make it home and enjoy good health and happiness in their everyday lives.
Residents will receive BDMS Longevity Club services at no charge during their first year of service. Company terms and conditions apply.
