Borey ICON Kampot is a new residential project opening in the serene province of Kampot. Developed by HL Nakara Development Co., Ltd., Borey ICON Kampot endeavours to be the first residential project with a tourist-focused commercial center in the city. Both its residential and commercial components are topped with a 23.9m high Buddha monument, making it the premier contender for Kampot’s most iconic developments in the next few years.

Kampot as a city is seeing new interest as developers expand their portfolio across Cambodia. While certainly urbanizing (~600,000 residents, 2019 census), it has maintained its pristine surroundings and built itself up as the alternative to popular beach destinations like Sihanoukville.

This serene and quiet environment is what Borey ICON Kampot is building its residential portfolio on. The project measures a total of 4 hectares with 152 Shophouses surrounding the commercial area. Shophouses have up to 3 floors and are designed with a modern take on the popular Cambodian home, all while keeping the aspects that made it so well-liked in the first place. This includes high-ceilings to accommodate Kampot’s cool breeze, expertly designed floor layouts that make it intuitive for families to move around, and generous spaces that can host various family activities. Every shophouse is designed to be conducive to both nurturing a healthy family environment and operating a thriving business.

Complementing every home interior is a facade crafted to create a quality residential mini-district that ties well into Borey ICON Kampot’s vision of being a landmark shopping complex in the city. The ICON Kampot Market, the center-piece of the project, ties the whole district together with over 500 retail spaces providing a variety of goods and services to the whole community and the wider Kampot population.

With a residential and commercial area in mind, one would anticipate a tight and even busy road network inside and out. Borey ICON Kampot has planned through this as it’s built with 10m wide roads on the inside and wider 12m roads directly connecting to National Road 3, making traffic jams a lot less of a concern!

Borey ICON Kampot is expected to be a wonderful addition to the city’s charm as it develops as a more urban city while maintaining its quaint charm of being a serene getaway from the larger but busier cities. The entire development is set to provide well-connected routes to support the commercial uses by the residents and to provide comfortable accessibilities to downtown Kampot city and wider areas of the country.
