On the 9^th and 10^th of November 2018, a new luxury shopping, restaurant, entertainment and residential complex has been unveiled to the public.

The 54 billion-baht (US$ 1.5 billion) project funded by Siam Piwat group in joint venture with MQDC Magnolia Quality Development and Charoen Pokphand Group is likely to be the number one luxury complex in all Thailand.

With 525,000 m² of retail floor space and a total of 750,000 m² of occupied land, the ICONSIAM is also a world-class wonder of architecture: the 300 meters long glass façade along the banks of the Chao Phraya River is inspired by the Krathong (traditional elaborately-folded banana leaves, handcrafted for festivals and special occasions) and detains the record for the longest pleated glass façade in the world made with a superclear high-quality glass imported from Germany. The 10,000 m² riverfront also features a 400 meters long dancing fountain, the longest in SouthEast Asia, with audiovisual (music and lights) support, creating an outstanding spectacle better to be enjoyed during nighttime. Furthermore, the ICONSIAM’s design is inspired by the traditional Thai dress, wrapped around its most valuable part, the ICONLUXE.

The ICONSIAM complex is divided into three main sections: ICONSIAM, the main building, ICONLUXE facing the river, and the Siam Takashimaya facing the street, the most iconic and successful Japanese department store which represents the first opening in Thailand by Takashimaya at full-scale covering 35,000 m².
