The injection will also fund further
development of the One Night app, which
Sansiri will help to grow internationally,
particularly in Asia.
Hostmaker, which has a strong presence
in London, Rome, Paris and Barcelona,
allows Sansiri to tap into the fast-growing,
home-sharing market. In turn, Hostmaker
can rely on Sansiri’s support to expand its
services throughout Asia.
Sansiri believes big corporations will
join hot-desking start-ups in adopting
Singapore-based JustCo’s efficient model
of shared workspaces to spur the cross-
pollination of ideas and to develop new
connections. The two companies plan to
launch four JustCo offices in Bangkok next

year as par t of a wider initiative to open 20

new offices Asia-wide.

Eyeing the growth of the health and

wellness industry and the drive for fresh,

high quality food, Sansiri sees Farmshelf

as an opportunity to integrate the firm’s

innovative and environmentally friendly

home and office food-growing system

with Sansiri properties. At the same time,

the system provides readily available

produce for Sansiri’s customers, bringing

healthy food production to the places

where people live, work and eat.

Sansiri’s investment in U.K. media

brand Monocle will leverage the group’s

global reach and allow it to engage with

an informed international following, while

interpreting and shaping consumer behav-

iors. This highly regarded publication has

been successful at delivering quality jour-

nalism and a luxury experience, with tie-

ins to retail and hospitality.

These investments are just the start of

Sansiri’s international plans, as the group

continues to seek fresh opportunities to

expand and more readily meet the needs

of its customers.

Thavisin is optimistic about the future of

Sansiri’s new and synergistic relationships:

“Our core business continues to be devel-

opment and placemaking, but our broader

focus now encompasses a radical com-

mitment to elevating quality of life, from

the homes we live in, the way we travel,

to the access we have to the freshest pro-

duce,” he says. “Sansiri, along with our

partners, will be right there at the edge

of the emerging future, shaping the ways

that we’ll live, work, learn and play—for

the better.”
