Spotting Vacancy Clusters Across Bangkok Stock
Vacancy looks random until you map it by tower, wing, and unit size — patterns that change how managers assign leasing effort.
A five-percent vacancy rate can hide a concentrated problem on two floors or in one bedroom size. Portfolio averages smooth over the places where leasing teams should spend mornings.
Map vacant days against unit type and facing. In riverside towers, river-facing one-beds and courtyard studios often behave like different products.
When clusters sit near amenity floors or transfer lobbies, noise and foot traffic may be the story — not asking rent alone.
Share the map with leasing before rewriting ads. A visual of concentration beats another spreadsheet column titled ‘status’.
Revisit the map every six weeks during soft seasons. Clusters move; so should weekly walk-throughs.
