Standard International - One Night – Hostmaker - JustCo - Farmshelf - Monocle

BANGKOK, Nov. 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Sansiri Public Company Limited aims beyond real estate development by investing US$80 million (HKD 650 million/ SGD 110 million) in six leading global technology and lifestyle businesses in a bold move to expand its holdings and create a collaborative, multi-disciplinary portfolio. All six investments are in high-growth sectors in global markets which offer new sources of revenue beyond Thailand. They represent new asset light business models from the synergy opportunities and rapid growth opportunities in this digital disruptive era. The potential increase in each company's valuation, as a result of Sansiri's share in ownership, positively benefits Sansiri's core business.

This involves taking Sansiri to the next level as a global brand, ensuring we are at the forefront of tech and innovation, transforming ourselves for the future, and creating a synergistic environment for our business to grow. We will focus on three key activities, including: strategic investment in global lifestyle brands; developing property technologies in partnership with industry disruptors; and enhancing influence and audience through premium lifestyle media."
