Lin Yutang, a Chinese novelist, pondered in “The Chinese Way Of Life”: “With all the wisdom and common sense of mankind, one problem remains to be solved: How do people support themselves and ultimately enjoy life to the utmost satisfaction?”Developments in residential technology have made it possible for large flats to allow people to work in cities and give them the space needed to live comfortably.

Recent events signal positive outlook for Cambodian real estate, say experts
Recent events signal positive outlook for Cambodian real estate, say experts
June 7, 2022, 4:30 a.m.
The robust Cambodian real estate sector was noted by investors as one of the new go-to's in the region. Supplied.The Cambodian construction and real estate industry has seen an influx of foreign investment and a flurry of activity in the past decade. According to CBRE Cambodia’s Fearless Forecast 2020, around $5.2 billion was spent constructing 2,867 approved projects in 2018. These figures significantly grew to $9.3 billion in investments spread across 4,443 approved projects in 2019.The flow of foreign investments has been growing since 2010 due to the country’s increasingly more appealing business environment. This streak, however, was broken when COVID-19 became an urgent global health issue in January 2020. Almost overnight, governments all over the world either limited or outright restricted foreign travel to prevent the spread of the highly contagious disease.The global tourism industry was hit the hardest as the result of the painful yet necessary measures. It also didn’t take long for the lack of international travel to initiate a domino effect that led to other sectors feeling the pinch; the real estate industry included. Cambodia’s robust real estate was one such market that experienced a slowdown that derailed projections of continued expansion for 2020 and even 2021.But as the Kingdom and most of the world learned to manage COVID-19, the restrictions on international travel were relaxed and a new normal started taking shape. In Phnom Penh, the widespread use of masks and the availability of hand sanitizers in public places has become commonplace - with most businesses reopening following these measures. International flights, though limited, are starting to return with strict health screening; the chief example of which is the return of thousands of Chinese expatriates working and living in the Kingdom.Health Minister Mam Bun Heng observes COVID-19 checks during a visit at the Phnom Penh International Airport. Fresh News.According to CBRE’s James Hodge, Senior Director of CBRE Cambodia, “Recent developments have given rise to the hope of recovery for Cambodia’s real estate sector, with increasing confidence and interest from investors and occupiers. CBRE notes a resurgence in inquiries for residential accommodation from expatriates and commercial space from existing companies.” The return of Chinese expatriates is highlighted as part of the renewed demand Cambodia may see if COVID-19 continues to be under control. “Sihanoukville has been struggling for almost 12 months now, but the improvement in infrastructure and increasing certainty around the future of the gaming industry seem to be acting as a draw for Chinese workers and investors; resurgence in domestic tourism is also a help for the province, and these factors could combine to position the district for a further growth spurt in the near future,” James added.Sihanoukville gains a new lease on life as property developments resume. KT/Chor Sokunthea.However, COVID-19 remains a looming threat to the Cambodian real estate, “Travel restrictions remain prohibitive to many international investors and businesses, and the recovery remains fragile whilst the threat of the further spread of Covid-19 remains – this is unlikely to change until there is a reliable vaccine and quarantine requirements are removed.” he added.Moek Chenda, the founder of Realestate.com.kh, also considers recent developments as a positive sign for Cambodia’s real estate market. “Foreign investors have played a big role in the country’s real estate development. Allowing them to come in, especially at this time, certainly presents a good opportunity for both them and the Cambodians that stand to benefit from new investments”.Much like other experts, Chenda shares the same precautions about COVID-19. “As we’ve seen, we can never be too safe. It’s fortunate that we have controlled the disease in Cambodia early on and established guidelines and procedures when it comes to screening new entries into the country.”New health measures required for foreign visitors were adjusted in August 2020. Fresh News.In June 2020, the government announced a $3,000 USD deposit and a requirement of $50,000 insurance from foreigners visiting Cambodia. The temporary policy was enacted to help fund the testing and quarantine all new visitors are required upon entry. The policy was changed in August 2020 reducing the required cash deposit to $2,000 and relaxing other measures to attract more visitors and investors in the country.According to James Hodge, “The government’s approach to adjusting entry requirements appears to be born out of the need to balance safety measures with economic growth. In terms of the real estate market, easing entry requirements is important in allowing decision-makers to access the country and action investments”.However, he expects these additional costs and quarantine requirements may still limit most visitors, saying “The changes are unlikely to yield significant adjustments at the current time due to reluctance to travel or face extended periods of quarantine at one or both ends of a flight.”When one door closes, another opens. The lack of foreign investors has caused several developers to offer discounts and/or benefits on purchase. According to Chenda, “It’s a good time for local investors to look at property as some may get up to 30% discount if they look hard enough.”Chenda adds that both buyers and sellers are still looking to connect even during this time, saying “There are still developers looking to sell fast and buyers looking to buy property fast, as well. And given that some sectors of the market are still active, online property platforms have a more important role in keeping the market going”.Keeping COVID-19 under control is integral to sustaining economic recovery. Supplied.Sustaining the recovery is certainly on everybody’s mind. In a report from the Khmer Times, the government allowed some businesses to reopen in July 2020 with conditions to adopt measures to curb COVID-19 infection. Businesses such as casinos, clubs, and KTVs have been allowed to reopen – a positive sign that the Cambodian economy will soon rebound. And any commercial endeavor opening spells good tidings for the real estate sector.“It is important that the real estate market adapts to aid the prevention of the coronavirus after all urbanites spend the vast majority of their time inside buildings, whether that is at home, school, the office, a factory or leisure venue, as such real estate is a primary resource and plays an integral role in stopping the spread of infections,” says James Hodge. He also highlighted the importance of upgrading and maintaining a building’s prevention policy to stop the spread of infection.The uncertainty of how much COVID-19 will influence the Cambodian real estate industry remains a hot topic among stakeholders. But recent developments may indeed signal the beginning of a continuous upward trend for the market.Phnom Penh’s real estate market still presents good opportunities during COVID-19. Supplied.“I believe we have started to see an uptick in market activity across some sectors,” says James Hodge. “This is helped along by Cambodia’s track record at controlling community transmission, as well as the pragmatic reaction of many market actors to the situation,” he added.While the uptick is certainly within sight, the risk of a 2nd wave is still no less of a threat. “As we have seen recently in Vietnam and earlier in Singapore, Covid-19 spreads quickly and is difficult to control. Cambodia is by no means safe from either the direct or indirect impacts of the virus yet, so we must all remain vigilant and follow appropriate protocols – but if we can continue to follow our current path then the market should continue to improve in some segments.” cautioned James. “It will still be some time before we are back to pre-Covid-19 levels as there remain a number of headwinds, not least the impact of EBA withdrawal and macro impacts from the global economic woes.”Moek Chenda similarly believes that while pre-COVID-19 activity may still be some ways off, good opportunities still lay within the market. “Getting the real estate economy back to how it was before may take around 12 more months. But that does not mean people should hold off on buying today”, he continued. “The Black Friday Event back in June and the developer sales that followed should signal to buyers that now is a good time to buy property. They just have to keep their ears on the ground” he advised.Article by:

Phnom Penh Borey developers remain confident in 2020
Phnom Penh Borey developers remain confident in 2020
June 6, 2022, 5:01 p.m.
Borey Lorn City is a new gated community development in Phnom Penh city, located along a wide-open National Road 3 in Por Sen Chey. Supplied.The outbreak of COVID-19 shifted the status quo of Phnom Penh’s real estate market. The fears of infection and the subsequent restriction on international travel lead to previous market speculations up in the air. One real estate sector, however, remains anchored on the land beneath it.Landed properties in Phnom Penh, more popularly known as boreys, are a collection of pre-made/designed houses within a gated community. According to Knight Frank Cambodia, the end of 2019 saw the addition of 4,654 units from 11 recently completed boreys. This led to Phnom Penh’s year-end stock standing at almost 56,000 units spread across 142 developments - a 21% increase from the previous year. The addition of more than a dozen new projects launched in H2 2019 is expected to add further 2,675 units upon their respective completion dates.Knight Frank also indicates that if all on-going projects are finished as scheduled, Phnom Penh could see an additional 20,000 residential units added to its borey portfolio by the end of 2022. This will bring Phnom Penh’s borey stock at an estimated 76,405 units.This influx of new residential units are categorised as Mid-tier developments (64%) whilst the remaining is divided between Affordable (28%) and High-end (8%).At the end of 2019, Knight Frank indicated that approximately 52% of the landed housing supply are flat houses whilst link houses comprise 14% followed by twin villas with 13%, shop houses with 11%, and villas with 11%. Generally, flat houses remained the more popular and sought-after type of landed house, commanding a higher sales rate as compared to the other types.CONFIDENCE DRIVEN BY LOCAL DEMANDDespite the recent disruption from the headwinds including the partial withdrawal of EBA preferential trade arrangements with the EU, the Covid-19 outbreak, and external geopolitical and economic uncertainty, Borey developers’ confidence remains strong, according to CBRE Cambodia’s Q1 2020 market report.The key to this assessment is the launch of more than a dozen projects between September 2019 and March 2020. Project launches by Cambodia’s leading real estate developers such as Chip Mong Land and Borey Peng Houth Group also indicate confidence within the country’s real estate future - now mainly driven by local demand.According to a report by the Khmer Times, the lack of foreign investment has forced developers to search for a new market. And with the absence of the usual clientele, the spotlight has shifted to the local Cambodian market, and about what they want from real estate developers.For example, the high-end condominiums in the capital, which include gyms, rooftop infinity pools, five-star restaurants, movie theatres, kindergartens, and mini-marts, have seen a recent drop in price by up to 50 percent. The continuous lack of foreign investment in recent months has opened up the market for more domestic investment at much more attractive rates.The Borey market itself is seeing the same interest as Cambodians value land as a safe store of wealth. And as COVID-19 drags on, locals are more convinced that a tangible form of security, particularly in landed properties, is more important now than ever. Article by:

Own an icon of New Khmer Architecture - Vann Molyvann Residence
Own an icon of New Khmer Architecture - Vann Molyvann Residence
June 7, 2022, 5:35 a.m.
Have you ever driven down Mao Tse Tung boulevard and noticed a house with a peculiar roof? Orange in color, curved, and pointed at its corners? It sits atop a house placed squarely in a wide plot of land, enough for a family or two, with enough breathing space to enjoy a relaxing weekend, even at the center of Phnom Penh. Many have seen it, and a lot have probably wondered who owns such a home.Well, that’s the home of one of Cambodia’s most prominent minds and once-chief architect, Vann Molyvann.Vann Molyvann rose to prominence in the 1950s and 1960s as the nation’s State Architect. He designed many of the iconic structures in Cambodia, including The National Sports Complex, Chaktomuk Conference Hall, and the Independence Monument.Vann Molyvann’s designs came to have a distinctive blend of modernist principles and traditional Khmer architecture, this combination underpinned all his works and soon came to be known as New Khmer Architecture.While his public works earned him his status as the Kingdom’s most prominent architect, his previous projects required him to take public use into consideration. When it came to the design of his personal residence, however, Vann Molyvann recalled the opportunity as a “chance to play”.Located along Mao Tse Tung Boulevard, his house proudly stands as an example of the New Khmer Architecture amid an area largely composed of rectangular townhouse-style shops and other traditional Khmer residences. Built back in 1966, Vann’s home occupies 924sqm of land and it was considered to be a masterpiece of home design during its time and a reminder of Cambodia’s rich intellectual prowess today. Designing his home became an outlet for his creativity, leading to its simple yet elegant facade incorporating exquisite details not found in many homes in Cambodia. His home features his iconic parabolic curved double-layered roof - considered to be a feat of engineering during his time. Vann designed his home to take advantage of Cambodia’s tropical climate by focusing on ventilation, spacious interiors, and the inclusion of other creative designs such as allowing sunlight to pour in while simultaneously shielding from its striking rays. Spending time within this piece of history allows one to see the fine details and ideas Vann pioneered throughout his illustrious career.Vann’s home consists of 2 floors with a total floor area of 768 sqm consisting of 4 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, a paved covered lawn, a backyard garden, and a balcony on the upper floor overlooking Mao Tse Tung Boulevard.Its location, being quite centrally located, gave its residents the ease of getting to anywhere within Phnom Penh. The surrounding area is populated with dining, entertainment, and shopping options -- most notably the Russian Market, The Point Community Mall, and the AEON Mall 1, all of which are within 5 minutes' drive if not walking distance. Restaurants, retail shops, schools, banks/ATMs, hotels, clinics, pharmacies, bakeries, cafes, pagodas, churches, and other amenities, are well within reach.The Vann Molyvann residence offers the rare trifecta of having location, design, and is one of Cambodia’s landmark structures, from one of the country’s finest architectural minds. To own such a unique piece of Cambodian history grants its owners the unique leverage of an almost guaranteed increase in value over time, on top of living in a home designed by one of the Kingdom’s most prominent historical figures.Interested in owning the iconic Vann Molyvann Residence?

New roads and airport to serve Cambodia’s southern economic corridor
New roads and airport to serve Cambodia’s southern economic corridor
June 6, 2022, 5:01 p.m.
National road 4 serves a vital role in developing the Kingdom’s southern economic corridor. Photo by Dmitry Makeev.Plans for the southern economic corridor of Cambodia are slowly being unveiled as 2020 goes past its half-way mark. The region’s primary economic hub, Sihanoukville, is getting back up on its feet after construction mishaps and the uprooting of the once-thriving online casino industry in the city.Last April 2020, construction on Road 146 began under the technical supervision of the Minister of Public Works and Transport (MPWT). The project is expected to take around 28 months to complete and will cost $76 million, according to the ministry’s Facebook post.Road 146, a.k.a. Samdech Tep Vong Patriarch Safety road has a total road length of 43km and is built from the intersection of National Road 4 in Veal Thom village, Veal Rent Commune, Prey Nob district. The road will be designed for longevity and resilience as it will support heavy freight vehicles traveling through the southern economic corridor of the Kingdom.Another set of 34 roads in Sihanoukville province is reportedly approaching completion, according to the ministry’s Facebook post last May 2020. The construction and rehabilitation project covers over 82,000km of roads and is close to finishing ahead of schedule.This rehabilitation project seeks to ensure the longevity of Cambodia’s roads to support transportation and logistics amid its recurring flooding problems.A new 20-year master plan for the Sihanoukville International airport was unveiled by Cambodia Airport, the concessionaire of Cambodia’s 3 major international airports. The new development is designed to enhance the Kingdom’s airport capacity to handle the increasing volume of tourists and cargo coming through its entry ports.The master plan consists of two development phases, the first of which will be the development of the infrastructure that will soon command and finish in 2030. This phase focuses on developing the runway extension from the current 2.5km and expanding it to 3.3km  This phase also includes new aircraft stands, taxiways, and a new terminal.Upon completion of Phase I, Cambodia Airports is reportedly going to expand the terminal with additional support facilities to enhance the airport’s overall operational efficiency.The scale of the project has attracted the attention of the United States which has recently assessed the possibility of Cambodian airports accommodating Boeing-made aircraft.Article by:

There’s no denying that Phnom Penh’s growth is evident from the number of property developments and the expanding variety of commercial establishments servicing the Cambodian people. Phnom Penh, despite its rapid progress, is found wanting in the pretty lights department.But that’s all about to change.PixLed Media International, an out-of-home digital media company, is delivering the largest full definition LED screen in Cambodia. Located in the heart of Phnom Penh, PixLed Media Int’l seeks to reach their clients’ target audience with high-impact messaging at the right time.PERFECT LOCATIONPixLed Media Int’l placed its LED screen strategically nearby the Embassy of Australia, AEON Mall, Naga World, and Diamond Island, to name a few proximal landmarks in Phnom Penh. These high-traffic areas, in terms of foot and cars, guarantee advertisers millions of views on a regular basis.SIZE MATTERSDespite PixLed Media Int’l is an advertising company, its tag “biggest screen in Cambodia” is not just a simple marketing phrase. They constructed a full definition LED screen spanning almost 1000sqm across - a surface area bigger than some land properties in Phnom Penh. This makes it 12 times bigger than the previously biggest LED screen in the city.PROFESSIONAL IMAGINGTheir high pixel LED screen is calibrated to make advertisers’ images look sharper and overall better than other LED advertisements in the city. PixLed Media Int’l understands that consumers look for signs that the ad is legitimate, and they know that the most convincing proof is a professional-looking outfit.QUALITY REACHBy itself, the LED screen will attract attention. It’s big and it’s beautiful. But it’s strategic location grants it access to the many different walks of life in Phnom Penh, giving advertisers the largest possible exposure for whatever market they’re trying to reach.At present, no other digital screen in Phnom Penh can visually reach passers-by 2.5km away!QUICK FACTS ON LED ADVERTISINGPixLed Media International is a data-and-research driven advertising company. Every aspect of the LED screen, from its location to its composition were carefully considered to deliver the best possible results for their clients. One study they cite is by Irfan Khan, CEO of Skykit, a digital signage solutions provider. The first key take away being:Customers don’t just glance-they engageDigital signage makes an impression. Of that 70 % of people who recall seeing a digital video display in the past months, 47% specifically recall seeing an ad. That’s nearly half of all respondents.Passers-by do spend the time to lookIn a study conducted in Sweden, it found that drivers spend significantly longer looking at the digital billboards they pass by - longer than traditional billboards. After all, a bright, colorful, and animated display would be more eye-catching. And Phnom Penh’s traffic woes will certainly have drivers looking for much longer!Digital billboards stand outIn the age of online advertising, most companies have allotted significant resources in making their brands known on the internet. However, according to Skykit’s research, 71% of respondents felt advertising on digital billboards stood out more than online ads, and 46%^said they felt that these were more prominents than even television ads.Capturing impulsesEver thought of getting something sweet but aren’t sure of what you want? And all of a sudden, an ad for a candy bar suddenly pops up in front of you, the next thing you know, you’ve stopped at a convenience store to get that candy bar, specifically. If you’ve had a similar experience, then you’ve joined 19% of consumers who claim to have made an unplanned/impulsive purchase of a product they’ve seen advertised digitally.PixLed Media International will definitely give companies and their marketing a much-needed boost. The Kingdom’s growth has been phenomenal and it’s fortunate to see that modern companies and their technologies are pouring into the country every year.If you’re looking to market with PixLed Media International, and take advantage of their market expertise, you may reach them through the information below:Kimberly YoroPhone number: 016 564 970Email: kimberly.yoro@pixled-media.comWebiste: www.pixled.com.khFacebook: Pixled Media International Facebook
$15 Million+ worth of property sold online during Black Friday Property Sale
$15 Million+ worth of property sold online during Black Friday Property Sale
June 6, 2022, 5:01 p.m.
The long-awaited Black Friday Property Sale was held last Friday night (12th of June) which attracted over 20,000 interested buyers across both the website itself and the Livestream that brought the event to life during the 4-hour affair, where Realestate.com.kh linked buyers to Developers and Agents where a staggering $15 Million+ dollars’ worth of property was booked.The Black Friday Property Sale event was the first time in real estate history that an online property sales event has been held in Cambodia. The intention of the event was to galvanize the Kingdom’s property industry and stimulate the real estate economy during a time where travel restrictions and other global quarantine measures limit market activity across the board.The event brought together 30 leading condo, borey, and plot land developers and was supported by 100+ local and international real estate agencies, media platforms, law firms, banks, business chambers, and many more. The event attracted a multinational spread of attendees - with approximately 50% Khmer, 30% Chinese, and 20% mixed international visitors to the website.One buyer, who purchased during the event, said, "I heard about the event through Century 21 Fuji, and registered straight away. I was really impressed with the communication leading up to the event and was well prepared in terms of what to expect once the event launched.” The event came at the right time for him, saying, “I have been looking to invest in the Cambodian market for a while now, and was happy to buy a property at such a great price."A few of the developers who participated also shared their take on the Black Friday Property Sale:"It’s a good event because, tt made it easier for buyers to find and purchase the property at a great price ever. The fact that they can easily view different developments at the same time through their phone or laptop certainly adds value to it.It also helps developers significantly as we have difficulty reaching new clients during this time. The Black Friday Property Sale certainly helped us turn things around. We received 3 bookings and a whole lot of clients contacting us directly during the event for more information on the project.We understand that it’s the first big online expo in Cambodia by Realestate.com.kh, and it did encounter a few errors here and there. But we believe REAKH can solve these issues and make the next one even better."Mrs. Nhim Pich Panha, The Peninsula Sales Gallery Manager "We were initially hesitant to join the Black Friday Property Sales since it was the first of its kind in Cambodia. But I’m glad we did as we are happy with the results! It was a truly productive and exceptional event; we’re lucky to have partnered with REAKH and Mekong View Properties will definitely do so again!"Felix V CalimboSales and Marketing ManagerBun Ches Groups Co LtdReflecting on the event, Mr. Tom O’Sullivan, CEO of realestate.com.kh - the event organiser, said that, “We are delighted with the results, which is a great reflection on the strength of the Cambodia real estate industry.

Mid-tier offices overtake Grade A office supply in Phnom Penh
Mid-tier offices overtake Grade A office supply in Phnom Penh
June 6, 2022, 5:01 p.m.
Prince Huan Yu Centre is a mixed-use development offering 49,000 sqm of office space come 2022. Supplied.The shift towards development for the wider mid-tier market is spilling over into Phnom Penh’s office sector.In H2 2019, a total of 4 new office buildings were inaugurated which added more than 50,000 sqm of office NLA. Out of the 4, 3 are classified as Grade B while the remaining project is classified as Grade C, according to a report by Knight Frank CambodiaAccording to the same report, the current overall supply for Grade B offices has now surpassed Grade A offices in Phnom Penh. The report indicates that, between 2020 and 2021, an additional 165,232 sqm NLA of office space is expected to be added into the current stock of 517,043 sqm NLA. Knight Frank indicates that 52% of this upcoming supply will be Mid-Tier whilst Grade A and C will comprise 18% and 30%, respectively.However, that’s not to say Grade A spaces will shrink in market share. Knight Frank’s data suggests that recorded office developments within the short and medium-term composed mainly of Grade B projects. Upcoming Grade A developments, chief examples of which are the Prince Huan Yu Centre and the Prince Financial Tower, will contribute a combined 140,000 sqm NLA. The report suggests that post-2022, Grade A offices will overtake Grade B offerings by a difference of ~200,000 sqm NLA. Overall, by the end of 2022, Phnom Penh would have a cumulative 1,200,000 sqm NLA of office space stock.Demand for office spaces continues to grow in parallel with incoming supply. Knight Frank suggests that despite this, the high supply will cause a subdued-to-negative effect on rental rates and office vacancies are expected to rise. Landlords will have to get creative in terms of pricing and other incentives to attract better quality tenants.The office vacancies are attributed to shifting office preferences among SMEs and large multinationals. Traditional office spaces are slowly being passed over for more co-working and serviced offices. Knight Frank cites Alpha Tower as one traditional office building that ceased operations in 2018 to reconfigure and renovate its spaces. When it opened in 2019, it marketed itself as offering a wide range of options including traditional office setups, furnished office spaces, co-working spaces, and virtual offices.At present, there are only 9 recorded co-working spaces/services offices in Phnom Penh’s city centre; spread over 8,190 sqm NLA. This supply is forecasted to double in the next 3 years, according to the report.Article by:
