MCOT, Thailand's state-owned broadcaster, is pivoting away from declining traditional TV advertising revenue by monetizing its 50-rai Ratchada-Rama 9 land asset (valued at 9 billion baht) through a 30-year lease-to-developer auction. The project offers seamless BTS/MRT integration and mixed-use development potential, with three revenue streams: upfront payment, annual rent (growing 10% every 3 years after a 3-year grace period), and revenue sharing. MCOT has a backup plan for short-term leasing (targeting 100+ million baht annually) if long-term auctions underperform, amid a sluggish real estate market. Zoning approval expected within the year.
