Magnolia Quality Development Corporation (MQDC) recently organised "The Forestias Story & Beyond: The Immersive Experience Of Imagine Happiness", an event to unveil the latest update on its project The Forestias, which will be ready to open next year after more than four years of developing a wide range of residential projects and a forest in a one-of-a-kind concept. The event which was held at the Royal Paragon Hall, 5th Floor, Siam Paragon, also allowed visitors to have an immersive experience of the lifestyle at The Forestias.
Kittiphun Ouiyamaphun, MQDC's president responsible for The Forestias, said the event was like an immersive theme park to show the progress of all the branded residential developments at The Forestias, including Whizdom The Forestias, Mulberry Grove The Forestias, The Aspen Tree The Forestias and Six Senses Residences The Forestias as well as the Six Senses hotel and Hotel Indigo. There was also a preview of sample units in virtual reality of the latest residential development launched at the project -- The Forestias Signature Series.
Spanning an area of 398 rai (approximately 64 hectares) in the rapidly developing Eastern Economic Corridor, The Forestias features a 30 rai forest at the centre of the development with a 1.6km forest canopy walkway weaving through the forest. It has large areas of parkland, residential properties under multiple brands that appeal to different lifestyles and age groups, as well as numerous community and commercial components with a focus on healthy living and environmental quality.
Meanwhile, the company also unveiled the Happitat, a space to deliver a new kind of experience covering lifestyle, entertainment, dining and shopping and offering spaces for lifestyle and cultural activities to bring to life happiness beyond imagination.
Orada Kerdhong, president of Storied Place Management responsible for the Happitat, said it is being developed to be a new destination to create happy experiences for visitors of all generations. The Happitat starts at the front of The Forestias and spans 211,200m². Inside the Happitat, there are also lifestyle spaces, including an Event Hall across 4,000m², and a 10-storey office building with a floor area of over 61,900m².
Also presented at the event was the concept of connecting residential developments in the real and virtual worlds together through The Forestias Mettaverse, which is being developed by MQDC Idyllias.
The Forestias Mettaverse utilises a wide range of technologies, including AR, VR, blockchain and the Internet of Things to enable life in the virtual world. It also focuses on doing good, as well as promoting learning and sharing in line with MQDC's philosophy of doing things for all well-being. As part of The Forestias Mettaverse, gamification, entertainment and privileges are designed for residents, customers, communities and visitors to join in many virtual-world activities, as well as open opportunities for partners at various establishments to offer their services through an additional dimension that can add convenience to residents and visitors as well as expand the business of the service providers.
