Chroy Changvar Tops Homebuyer List, Demand for CBD Locations Hold
Chroy Changvar Tops Homebuyer List, Demand for CBD Locations Hold
June 6, 2022, 5:00 p.m.
Demand for housing in Phnom Penh continues to grow with Cambodia’s returning economic outlook. Realestate.com.kh, Cambodia’s largest real estate classifieds portal, recently provided some insight into the Kingdom’s property market in early 2022.According to the Real Estate Survey 2022, demand for property in Phnom Penh shifted from central locations to its outer districts. Out of over 2,300 respondents, Chroy Changvar has become the most preferred location among homebuyers. The peninsular district has increased its appeal to property seekers from 12% in 2017 to 21% in 2022. This is largely in part due to present condominium developments in the south of Chroy Changvar, boreys opening in the north, and the opening of other commercial properties such as a new Makro opening in the district.The sale prices of condominiums have also increased since the start of the year. Median sale prices of condominium units in the city have surged from around $100,000 at the tail-end of 2021 to now over $130,000 as of April 2021, according to Realestate.com.kh’s Market Trends. While it is not yet clear whether prices will continue to surge, interest in the area has been on the rise based on the website’s traffic data. While the peninsular district’s potential as a new property hotspot builds, central locations such as Daun Penh, 7 Makara, Toul Kork, and Chamkarmon have not entirely been left behind. These areas make up a total of 27% when it comes to preferred locations when buying property. These areas still hold the most economic activity as well as home to high-end renters, a section of the market starting to come back with Cambodia’s easing of entry requirements.The sale prices of western-style condominiums in these areas have largely held at $130,000 to $150,000, save for modern condos in Daun Penh which soar well above $200,000. When it comes to rental prices, renters are looking at a ballpark of $700 to $800 as median prices for modern apartments and condominiums in central areas.Realestate.com.kh is home to thousands of residential and commercial property listings as well as partnerships with banks and insurance companies for loans and coverages. Cambodia’s premier property show, the EXPO 2022, organized by Realestate.com.kh, is where home buyers and investors can find properties offered at special rates along with exclusive deals from banks and insurance companies all in one place - this coming July 2nd and 3rd at the Premier Centre Sen Sok.Register for EXPO 2022

Chroy Changvar Continues Suburban Push With 3rd Makro Announced
June 6, 2022, 5:00 p.m.
Chroy Changvar has been in the eyes of both property seekers and developers for years. The peninsular district has been a hotbed of both borey developments as well as modern high-rise condominiums that have exploded in popularity recently. And adding to its continued residential viability is the announcement of a third Makro establishment coming this 2022.The third Makro is estimated to cost $12.7 million according to Makro Cambodia Co. Ltd. Makro is a Thailand-based retail company and this will be their third project in Cambodia, the first two being located in Sen Sok in Phnom Penh and in Siem Reap, respectively. The new Marko is the expected 161 jobs and taxes it will generate for Chroy Changvar.The third Makro will be located in Bak Khaeng subdistrict, the same area where the Morodok Techo National Stadium is, and the WorldBridge Sport Village, the first-ever sports village in Cambodia and the designated venue for the upcoming SEA Games 2023.According to Realestate.com.kh’s Market Trends data, the median sale price of high-rise residential developments has recovered from around $100,000 to $130,000, a 30% rise compared to May 2021. Median rentals for apartments have also held at $500 for western-style units. New condominium developments, especially in the southern portion of the peninsular district is turning the area into a commercial and condominium hub.Cambodia’s non-stop infrastructure development is similarly adding to Chroy Changvar’s potential. Earlier this year, plans for a bridge connecting Phnom Penh to the Arey Ksat area in Kandal province were also approved and will be located in southwest Chroy Changvar. At present, residents traveling from the area are using ferries to cross the river. A bridge connecting highly populated areas is bound to shorten travel times and increase economic activity.Looking for property in Chroy Changvar? Let us help!

The company is also experienced in constructing naval facilities, bringing their experience to fortifying their more civilian-oriented project.Kampot Logistics and Multipurpose Port is one of the first large-scale projects to be undertaken by a local company. Once completed it will greatly contribute to the growing economic and social development across Cambodia by opening another gateway apart from the Sihanoukville Autonomous Port and the Phnom Penh Autonomous Port.The massive development is estimated to directly and indirectly create 10,000 jobs and is likely to create a more economically vital Kampot.Looking for property in Kampot?

Phnom Penh-Sihanoukville Express Way Set for July 2022 Completion
Phnom Penh-Sihanoukville Express Way Set for July 2022 Completion

Realestate News
The completion of the Phnom Penh-Sihanoukville expressway will play a key role in further pushing Cambodia’s economic growth for decades to come. Photo from the MPWT.As of later April 2022, 90.95% of the Phnom Penh-Sihanoukville expressway construction project has been completed, and it is expected to be open for public use in July. Prime Minister Hun Sen will attend and preside over its official opening ceremony.Being Cambodia’s first expressway, the construction of the Phnom Penh-Sihanoukville expressway (also referred to as the Golden Port Expressway) cost 2 billion USD and was built with the aid of the Chinese government. The expressway spans five provinces, starting at the third ring road in Phnom Penh City and ending in Sihanoukville Province. Its total length is at 187.05 kilometers with a two-way 4-lane system, each lane being 3.75 meters wide. The running speed limit for the expressway will be at 80 to 120 kilometers per hour.The highway itself includes 7 intersections, 3 rest areas, 1 parking lot, 4 operation and maintenance centers, 40 major and medium-sized bridges, and 5 small bridges. For scale, the highway is 80.8 kilometers away from the province, 1.92 kilometers away from Koh Kong, and 89 kilometers away from Sihanoukville. For the safety of those using the expressway, a green isolation belt was placed in the middle, with galvanized steel pipe guardrails on both sides of the road to prevent animals from passing through. The construction also utilizes a modified asphalt technology, which is compatible with Cambodia’s weather thus improving pavement performance and extending service life.The Phnom Penh-Sihanoukville expressway was funded by the China Road and Bridge Engineering Co., Ltd., operating in a BOT (build-operate-transfer) system. Construction officially started on March 22, 2019, with a construction period of more than 3 years and an operation period of 50 years. Being Cambodia’s first expressway connecting Phnom Penh and Sihanoukville, it plays an extremely important role in the Kingdom’s socio-economic development. It also is the first step in Cambodia’s layout of the national transportation network system.At present, the travel time from Phnom Penh to Sihanoukville takes about 4-6 hours. Once the expressway is completed, the journey will be shortened to a mere two and a half hours. The project will facilitate the transportation of goods between the two economic centers while also creating nearly 10,000 jobs. Once completed, it will not only fill the gap in Cambodia’s infrastructure needs but also help stimulate provincial and national economic growth.The toll standard for the Phnom Penh-Sihanoukville expressway has yet to be determined, however. If the standard is at 10 cents per kilometer, the cost of making the whole journey itself would be close to 20 USD. H.E. Sun Chanthol, Minister of Public Works and Transport, previously stated that the toll standard for expressways around the world is generally at 10 to 15 cents per kilometer, which is a high cost for ordinary Cambodian citizens. The Ministry of Public Works and Transport has already proposed contracting companies to make toll rates on highways go down to less than 10 cents per kilometer, allowing more people across the country the financial capability to use the highway.The government is also negotiating with investors to allow free public testing of the expressway for a period of time before the official opening. This is to help the general public experience the expressway themselves and thus understand the costs entailed. In addition, the government has declared that on Cambodian public holidays, the highways will be free of charge.Looking for property in Cambodia? Let us help!
Over 650 new projects approved in first 2 months of 2022
Over 650 new projects approved in first 2 months of 2022
June 7, 2022, 5:10 a.m.
Cambodia’s property market is off to a good start with over 650 projects approved in the first 60 days of 2022. Photo from Khmer Times.While the COVID-19 pandemic was causing many businesses to struggle, property investors flourished. With many beginning to reintegrate pre-pandemic practices due to lesser restrictions, the property market has started re-establishing itself through various residential projects. More than 650 projects were approved by the government over the course of January and February this year with an estimated amount of almost $140 million. Many of these new projects join the market of developers trying to entice both local and foreign buyers into purchasing property through deals and discounts.Given the difficulties brought by the pandemic, some of the new developments have focused on being able to provide amenities such as easy access to schools and malls for the convenience of potential residents.Developers in Phnom Penh have also been offering property with furniture bundled in to give buyers more to consider. Having government loans and lower interest rates available, buyers can also be more optimistic about purchasing property without worrying too much about expenses. The pandemic has allowed them to have more bargaining power, especially towards more low-profile developments. The increasing desire of Cambodians to own property outside the center of Phnom Penh was also taken into consideration by developers, giving more attention to the suburban areas of the city. This also gives buyers an option to own a cheaper and larger home where they can better hold activities fit for their needs. Considering that acquiring property has always been oriented towards accommodating families and family inheritance, buyers with similar intentions can feel more reassured with making major purchases on residential developments.Property investors must then be inclined to cater more to the needs of their buyers. The Cambodian market has yet to fully recover feet given the aftereffects of pandemic restrictions, and giving it more reason to purchase will definitely help the property market flourish even more.Looking for property in Cambodia?

High hopes for new Siem Reap International Airport by 2023
High hopes for new Siem Reap International Airport by 2023
June 6, 2022, 5:00 p.m.
The upcoming Siem Reap Angkor International Airport will be able to accommodate larger aircraft landing in Cambodia. Photo from Khmer Times.Siem Reap’s return to form rests on many variables, but few of them weigh as much as the upcoming Siem Reap Angkor International Airport. The new airport began construction in March 2020 and is currently over 20% complete, with the runway expected to be completed later in May 2022. Other facilities being constructed include roads, airport parking routes and landing systems.The new Siem Reap Angkor International Airport is a category 4E airport with a runway measuring 3,600 metres and a width of 45 metres. This categorization allows the airport’s runway to accommodate large aircraft commonly utilized for intercontinental flights.The new airport is located in Tayek commune, Sot Nikum district and is about 51km away from Siem Reap City proper and 40km away from the Angkor Wat temple. The move to build a new airport was due to rising concerns of potential noise and vibration damage coming from the current airport to the centuries-old Angkor Wat temples.During a recent site inspection attended by Prime Minister Hun Sen, His Excellency has high hopes that the Siem Reap Angkor International Airport will be operational by its initial opening date in Q4 2023.“Siem Reap Angkor International Airport will play an invaluable role in boosting tourism and the overall economy when it launches next year” said PM Hun Sen.The scale of the new airport allows it to incorporate special economic zones that can use the new airport as a logistics hub. Photo from Swift News.Completion of the airport’s first phase will allow it to accommodate more than 7 million passengers and 10,000 tonnes of cargo annually. It is worth noting that the Siem Reap Angkor International Airport is built on 700 hectares of land with a remaining land area of 1000 hectares earmarked for a special economic zone or industrial zone to be built near the airport as well as an expressway directly connecting the airport to Siem Reap city itself.Cambodia has led most of its regional neighbours in reopening its borders to international travelers by waiving requirements that discouraged ordinary travelers. In 2019, the country received over 6.6 million visitors only being stifled by the outbreak of COVID-19. Tourism in Cambodia is expected to gradually return and many onlookers hope the New Siem Reap Angkor International Airport will be ready by the time international travel returns to form.Looking for property in Siem Reap?

Global Tech Exchange, Cambodia’s new no. 1 business address
Global Tech Exchange, Cambodia’s new no. 1 business address
June 6, 2022, 5:00 p.m.
The Global Tech Exchange (GTECH) is  the most anticipated commercial & retail project in Phnom Penh’s new city centre. Designed by AEDAS, the mixed-use development consists of two Grade A office towers, a hotel tower with a convention centre; and a dedicated data center. e - all located in Phnom Penh’s new up-and-coming downtown, known as Phnom Penh City Center. The New Multi-National HubThe Global Tech Exchange transforms the new city centre into a modern, sustainable, commercial and leisure hub. Complete with purpose-built world-class facilities, the Global Tech Exchange sets up foreign and multinational companies with unrivaled convenience within Phnom Penh.More than a hub for business, its location within the new Phnom Penh city centre sets up companies at the confluence point of a rich urban fabric meeting with the cultural diversity of the city and where creative ideas and breakthrough information is exchanged globally.Designed for Business To FlourishThe Global Tech Exchange stands out in the Cambodian capital with its glass facade creating an aura befitting a true business hub. GTECH’s glass walls allow for the optimum amount of light to shine and flow through the building, reducing energy consumption of businesses while letting workers bask in natural light - a luxury in today’s office market flanked between concrete and steel.The Global Tech Exchange was purposely built to accommodate the needs of the businesses of tomorrow through efficient use of spaces and expert office design. Much like the natural light that runs through its spaces, GTECH provides a flexible set of conveniences and support for businesses all across its commercial and retail spaces.The need for flexible yet structured space has been a reality many companies live by today, and GTECH ensures the businesses of tomorrow are well-equipped to take on the challenges of the future.A Sustainable LegacyA common concern among urban planners today is a building’s sustainability. The era of simply building a commercial and retail space without much consideration for its urban and environmental impact is long gone. The developers of Global Tech Exchange have looked into the needs of a booming city like Phnom Penh and laid itself as the groundwork for a new downtown that will stand the test of time.The Global Tech Exchange achieves this by making efficient use of its facilities for energy and water management. GTECH is capable of rainwater harvesting, taking advantage of Phnom Penh’s rainy season to build a sustainable water management system. Outdoor noise isolation is similarly built into the structure, blocking out the noise of Phnom Penh’s busy streets. Naturally vented places are found throughout the complex to allow Phnom Penh’s famed city breeze to freely flow from the outdoors to select indoor areas such as the commercial corridor and the car-parking podium.The Global Tech Exchange is a modern marvel and testament to both Phnom Penh and its developers’ commitment to a sustainable city.Award-Winning Property Management The multi-award-winning Knight Frank Cambodia, the country’s premier property management and agency, is the official commercial leasing partner at the Global Tech Exchange.“We are ecstatic to confirm that Knight Frank Cambodia has been appointed as the Lead Leasing Agent for both the office and retail space, having already previously been appointed as the Property Manager,” said Ross Wheble, Country Head of Knight Frank Cambodia. “Knight Frank is well known for dealing with prime and super-prime property across the globe, and we are grateful that the developer, Kingsland Group, has placed its confidence in Knight Frank Cambodia to partner on the leasing and management for GTECH”“Designed by world-leading architects and consultants, including Aedas and Arup, GTECH is a pioneering tech-enabled development that is set to become Cambodia’s premier business address,” said Ross on the minds behind GTECH’s architectural design.Ross explains that GTECH features two grade A office towers providing a combined net area of approximately 50,000 sq m, in addition to destination retail levels in the top floors or the office towers, over 8,000 sq m of net retail space on the ground and first-floor podium levels and the first Hilton Hotel in Cambodia. “It is a testament to GTECH’s high standard of architectural design, its prominent CBD location, and the overall quality and market positioning of the development,” he said.“GTECH is a unique project, not just in Cambodia but in most major cities, globally.” Ross highlighted that having a dedicated data centre attached to the project right in the heart of the CBD is a game-changer. “It will truly position the wider Phnom Penh City Centre project (PPCC) as the first smart city development in the Kingdom, future-proofing GTECH and PPCC for decades to come.”Looking for prime office spaces in Phnom Penh?

Land remains top choice for property investment, condominiums close 2nd
Land remains top choice for property investment, condominiums close 2nd

Land and condos are the most popular choices for investment for property buyers in 2022, according to the latest Cambodia Real Estate Consumer Sentiment Survey. Photo by Khmer Times.Phnom Penh’s property market is picking up with renewed confidence from property buyers both local and abroad. The Cambodia Real Estate Consumer Sentiment Survey 2022, an annual study made by Realestate.com.kh, the largest real estate online classifieds portal in the Kingdom, was recently concluded and covered several aspects of the property market under COVID-19.Demographics of the SurveyThe Cambodia Real Estate Survey 2022 was completed by more than 2,300 respondents over a period of 3 weeks from January 14 to January 28 2022. The respondents are a mix of those born in Cambodia (47%), while 29% are Asian nationals, and 23% from Western nationalities. Our first Survey in 2016 had a 68% Cambodian response rate. After Cambodians, the single biggest nationality of respondents was Chinese.A More Affordable Sales MarketThe survey suggests more Cambodians believe that property is affordable now (82%) compared to 2016 (59%). However, wages have also increased since then, so it makes sense that property is now more affordable to buyers in Cambodia.Realestate.com.kh website data indicates real estate prices have generally decreased over the past 2 years. However, depressed prices have not flowed to land and landed property (such as boreys); in some cases, prices have increased. This was reinforced by the survey results indicating that a third of local respondents believed prices had gone up during the year. Therefore, it is not surprising that land remains a core investment target for local buyers.Land remains the most popular property type in 2022, followed by Condominium/apartments, Villas, Shophouses, and Linkhouses.Condo Rentals Back On The RiseAlthough house types (Shophouse, Linkhouses, and Villas) are the most popular properties to rent, 31% of all respondents indicated they wanted to rent a condo or apartment.Among only the Cambodian respondents, houses account for nearly a third of their preferences, while land also had a strong attraction. For Chinese (60%) and Westerners (47%), condos are more favourable, while Villas were their next biggest preference.Of the respondents, around a tenth have a rental budget of over $2,000 per month, indicating a healthy appetite for high-end rentals, especially around the BKK1 area. The vast remaining majority have a monthly budget of between $500 - $1,000, while nearly a fifth are in the $1,000-2,000 range.High Demand For Home LoansIn Cambodia, banks have historically focused on existing housing stock and properties within boreys (gated communities). A majority (56%) of all respondents indicated that they require a mortgage in order to purchase their property in Cambodia. Around a third of those surveyed currently have a bank or home loan. As more Cambodian buyers start to consider condominiums, some banks are starting to offer special financing options for local condo buyers.Download the 2022 Real Estate Survey by scanning the QR Code below.
