This growth demonstrates the continued demand for flexible, collaborative workspaces in this fantastic market. Our newest location builds on the vibrant communities established at Common Ground’s two other Bangkok hubs in Central World and G Tower.

Capstone Asset Managing Partner and Executive Director, Titiwat Kuvijitsuwan, remarked “We are looking forward to working with a knowledgable and experienced operator like The Flexi Group, as their commitment demonstrates confidence in the strength of our location and the design of our project. Our vision behind Canvas Ploenchit is to help reshape the future of work and leisure in the very heart of Bangkok, with partners curated to foster collaboration, ideation, and innovation. Common Ground is at the core of this given its matching philosophy around empowerment and transformative business culture.
