Capstone Asset Sets Sights on Sector Leadership
Shaping Lifestyle and Hospitality Through Innovation and Design Capstone Asset consistently sets new benchmarks, from the iconic Kimpton Kitalay Samui, beloved by local and international travellers, to Tonson One Residence, a luxury condominium offering ultimate privacy in Bangkok's prime location, and Canvas, Ploenchit's first lifestyle mixed-use hub. The company is also developing a five-star lifestyle hotel on Natai Beach, poised to establish the area as Thailand's next luxury lifestyle destination.
The company's latest venture, Peylaa Phuket Bang Tao—a standout branded residence—is located in one of Phuket's most desirable beachfront areas. Led by Managing Partner Mr Titiwat Kuvijitsuwan, Capstone Asset is collaborating with a global hotel brand to redefine residential experiences in Thailand.
Each project shares a common ethos: design-driven innovation with a clear purpose. This reflects Mr Titiwat's vision to establish Capstone Asset as the leading real estate company in Thailand's lifestyle and hospitality sector, aligned with tourism's vital role in national economic growth.
'We follow a 'One Project, One Brand' philosophy,' said Mr Titiwat. 'Each development is uniquely designed with innovations tailored to its market context and audience, ensuring every brand has a strong identity.'
Targeting Leadership in Lifestyle and Hospitality Real Estate Looking ahead, Mr Titiwat aims to position the company as Thailand's leading developer in the Lifestyle and Hospitality Real Estate sector within the next three to five years. The focus will be on hotels and condominiums that integrate residential comfort with hospitality-grade experiences—a segment offering significant untapped opportunities.
This strategy aligns with global trends, as leading hotel groups increasingly launch lifestyle-focused brands to meet evolving modern living expectations. With Thailand's robust tourism sector as a growth engine, Capstone sees promising prospects for hospitality-driven real estate.
Mr Titiwat highlights the enduring appeal of destinations like Bangkok, Phuket, Samui, Pattaya, Krabi, and Chiang Mai, which continue to attract high volumes of domestic and international visitors. Phuket, in particular, has experienced a notable surge in real estate development in recent years, with even greater potential fuelled by its global reputation and economic resilience.
From Academia to Industry Leadership After earning his bachelor's degree from the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor) and master's from Stanford University, Mr Titiwat began his real estate journey with an internship at Lehman Brothers, followed by a focus on property investments at Lehman Brothers Thailand. He later spent over five years at Minor International PCL, leading hotel M&A and brand expansion. His experience encompassed hotel development and branded residences before founding Capstone Asset in 2019. Since then, the company has launched eight projects totalling more than THB 14 billion in value.
Real Estate's Dynamic Appeal Mr Titiwat describes real estate as a constantly evolving industry that thrives on challenges and demands creative solutions. Each project, even within a similar type, must be tailored to specific lifestyles and local nuances. Capstone avoids a one-size-fits-all brand strategy, instead crafting projects with a strong identity, synergy and a unique blend of hospitality and residential character.
A Resilient Market Despite global economic uncertainty, Mr Titiwat sees Phuket as a unique opportunity. Its status as a top-tier global destination, complete with an international airport, lends its resilience. 'Regardless of the national economy or political climate, Phuket remains strong. It recovers quickly and continues to grow,' he said.
He adds that if broader economic conditions improve, Phuket could become Asia's leading resort destination, thanks to its central location, easy connectivity and increasing direct flights from China and Europe.
Introducing Peylaa Phuket Bang Tao — A New Living Experience Confident in Phuket's long-term potential, Capstone Asset is launching Peylaa Phuket Bang Tao, a luxury mixed-use condominium project valued at THB 3.7 billion. Spanning over 10 rai (approx. 16,200 sq. m.), the development features three seven-storey residential buildings, totalling 408 units. These range from 45 sq. m. one-bedroom units to 82–90 sq. m. two-bedrooms, and 127 sq. m. three-bedroom combined units—all fully furnished and move-in ready.
'We are finalising a partnership with a global hotel chain and plan to officially launch in September,' Mr Titiwat says. 'This project will offer an extraordinary, lifestyle-driven residential experience unlike anything else in the Thai market.'

Kao and CMU Build Roads from Recycled Plastics
Kao Industrial (Thailand) Co., Ltd., a leading Japanese manufacturer of consumer and chemical products, has partnered with the Faculty of Engineering at Chiang Mai University to launch the 'Green Pavement' project on campus. This initiative showcases Kao's innovative NEWTLAC technology, which repurposes used PET plastic bottles into a chemical additive for asphalt, improving road durability, strength, and environmental sustainability. Kao contributed funding and materials worth 1,230,000 THB to support the construction, reinforcing the company's commitment to reducing plastic waste and promoting the sustainable resource use in Thailand. Mrs. Narumol Nakakes, Vice President of Chemical Sales and Marketing at Kao Industrial (Thailand) Co., Ltd., stated, 'Our partnership with Chiang Mai University's Faculty of Engineering on the Green Pavement project is a proud milestone for Kao. It brings our NEWTLAC innovation to life in a meaningful way and aligns directly with our zero-waste strategy. This project proves that discarded PET plastic bottles can be transformed into high-value, durable, and safe infrastructure.' Research by Kao Corporation in Japan shows that just 100 square metreers of NEWTLAC-enhanced pavement can recycle up to 1,430 PET bottles. This pilot road stands as a powerful prototype, paving the way for more environmentally friendly infrastructure development across Thailand.' The Green Pavement project is comprises a prototype stretch of porous asphalt road enhanced with Kao's NEWTLAC 5510 technology. This innovative material is made produced by chemically processing used PET plastic bottles into a fine, yellow powder resembling granulated sugar. When mixed blended with traditional asphalt, it produces creates a highly durable, water-resistant surface that significantly extends the road's lifespan. With Kao providing 1.23 million baht in funding and materials, the project involved the renovation of a 469-metreer roadway, covering more than 3,000 square metermetres within Chiang Mai University. A total of 1.3 tonnes of NEWTLAC was used—recycling 18,909 PET bottles—resulting in an environmentally friendly road that combines structural strength, excellent water permeability, and protection of the campus's existing ecosystem. Associate Professor Dr. Thongchai Fongsamootr, Dean of the Faculty of Engineering at Chiang Mai University, remarked, 'The Faculty of Engineering is committed to becoming a leading institution in driving research and innovation for sustainable infrastructure. We are proud to partner with Kao on the Green Pavement project, part of our broader initiative, titled 'Plastic Road Pavement from Kao NEWTLAC as Recycled PET Product.'. This project not only addresses key challenges in civil and environmental engineering but also serves as a 'Living Lab,' where students and faculty can engage with real-world applications of alternative materials. The road's strength, durability, and excellent water absorption, along with its ability to preserve mature trees and the natural landscape of our campus, exemplify its potential as a model for sustainable development in Thailand.' The Green Pavement at Chiang Mai University marks the third real-world deployment of Kao's NEWTLAC technology. Earlier pilots were carried out at two other locations: a 500-square-metre stretch at Amata City Industrial Estate in Chonburi, and a 1,500-square-metre section at the Din Daeng toll plaza on the inbound Don Mueang Tollway, covering both inner and outer lanes. The consistent success across all three sites underscores Kao's steadfast commitment to sustainable innovation and delivering long-term environmental benefits to Thai society.
