Heritage and ownership
Origin Property was established in 2009 as a private limited company by the Jaroon-ek family, beginning with an initial registered capital of 10 million baht. The company's early strategy centered on developing condominium projects strategically positioned along Bangkok's expanding mass transit rail lines and major expressways, a focus that remains a core part of its identity.
In a significant step for its growth, the company transitioned into a public limited company, officially registering as Origin Property Public Company Limited on November 10, 2014. This conversion paved the way for its listing on the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) under the ticker symbol ORI, allowing it to access public capital for further expansion. The company's head office is located at Bhiraj Tower at BITEC in the Bang Na district of Bangkok.
Phuket portfolio
Origin Property has expanded its development footprint to include the resort market of Phuket, launching several condominium projects targeting both local and international buyers. The portfolio primarily consists of new, off-plan developments in key locations across the island.
- Origin Residences Phuket Bangtao: A low-rise, resort-style condominium project in the popular Bang Tao Beach area of Cherngtalay. The development consists of three seven-story buildings with 294 units. Marketing materials indicate a sales launch period around 2025-2026, with project completion and handover scheduled for 2028.
- So Origin Bangtao Beach: Also located in the Bang Tao area, this mid-rise condominium is another of the company's projects in this high-demand zone. Third-party property portals list it as being under construction, with a target completion around 2026.
- The Origin Kathu-Patong: Situated in the inland corridor of Kathu District, this condominium project is positioned to serve the areas between Patong Beach and Phuket Town. It is listed as being under construction with an estimated completion year of 2026.
- The Origin Centre Phuket: Located in the urban heart of the island in Muang Phuket (Phuket Town), this condominium project is part of the company's push into the city center. It is listed with a status of under construction, targeting completion around 2027.
- Origin Place Centre Phuket: A condominium project also located in the Phuket Town area and often associated with The Origin Centre Phuket. It is similarly listed by property portals as being under construction with a target completion date around 2027.
What buyers should know
A review of public records, including mainstream Thai business press and announcements from the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), does not indicate any major, systemic legal issues, regulatory sanctions, or widespread controversies involving Origin Property PCL. As a publicly listed company, Origin is subject to continuous disclosure and governance rules, and its ongoing listing implies compliance with these standards.
Specifically concerning its Phuket operations, there is no evidence in publicly available sources of the company being involved in the land encroachment or environmental impact assessment (EIA) disputes that have sometimes affected other developers on the island. Likewise, the company has not been publicly named in relation to recent government crackdowns on the use of nominee shareholding structures.
This absence of high-profile negative reporting is a positive indicator. However, it does not eliminate the standard risks inherent in any off-plan property purchase. All large developers face routine project-level challenges, such as construction delays or individual unit defects, which may not be reported in national media. For any specific project, prospective buyers should conduct their own due diligence. This includes verifying the land title deed (Chanote), confirming the status of the project's EIA approval and building permits with local authorities, and carefully reviewing the sales and purchase agreement.
