Index Living Mall Invests in Sports Complex to Boost The Walk Ratchaphruek
Index Living Mall (ILM) is investing up to 100 million baht to convert parking space at The Walk Ratchaphruek into a comprehensive sports facility.
On October 22, 2026, Index Living Mall (ILM) announced a strategic shift to diversify its business portfolio by expanding into the sports and wellness sector. The company is investing between 80 and 100 million baht to develop 'Talent Sport Academy,' a new sports complex located on the site of the current parking area at The Walk Ratchaphruek community mall.
Ekalak Patamasatayasonthi, Chief Property Officer at ILM, stated that the project aims to optimize land use, generate new revenue streams, and increase foot traffic to the mall. The company projects an annual revenue of 15 million baht from this facility, with an estimated return on investment within seven years. This initiative aligns with the growing consumer interest in sports and wellness, and ILM plans to expand this model by opening one to two additional sports branches annually.
For residents and visitors, this development signals a transformation of The Walk Ratchaphruek into a more active lifestyle destination. While the project is officially underway, details regarding the specific types of sports facilities to be included and the exact construction timeline remain to be confirmed. The move represents a long-term effort by ILM to integrate its furniture retail business with rental and sports services to strengthen its overall market position.
