Condominium developers remain confident despite economic slowdown
Condominium developers remain confident despite economic slowdown

Supplied.The global economic slowdown due to COVID-19 has caused multiple industries to review their economic outlook for 2020, and even 2021. The Kingdom’s previously projected steady GDP growth for 2020, which was pegged at 7%, is expected to contract by at least 1%, according to government figures.Cambodia’s real estate market itself has felt the pinch caused by the pandemic induced-fears. “We definitely felt the impact the most during March and April” said Mr Kam Chin Seng, director of the Peninsula Private Residences, during Realestate.com.kh’s Industry Leader Webinar. The steep shift in market behavior motivated developers like the Peninsula to shift their resources away from sales, and instead emphasize on attending to the needs of their current clients.While there is an apparent shift in the current market, that does not mean progress on new developments have stalled. According to a report released by Knight Frank Cambodia, an international real estate consultancy firm, there is a 10% increase in total condominium stocks in Phnom Penh at the end of 2019. One notable example of a recently finished project is One Park, a high-end mixed-use development located in the central business district of Daun Penh.According to Knight Frank’s report, the Chamkarmon district remains the most preferred and popular residential destination due to its proximity to the CBD, and many other commercial areas, resulting in a 38% overall market share of present condominium developments. Chamkarmon is followed by Sen Sok at 15%, 7 Makara at 13%, Boeung Keng Kang at 10%, Chroy Changvar at 10%, and Toul Kork at 6%.The report also noted 15 new off-plan developments launched by the end of 2019 featuring several high-end and mid-tier offerings. One of the notable high-end upcoming developments is the Wealth Mansion, a 45-storey riverside development in Chroy Changvar offering scenic views of the Tonle Sap River and the rest of downtown Phnom Penh.An image render of the Wealth Mansion's luxury interiors of one of its residential units. Supplied.Two other notable upcoming developments are in the mid-tier of the market, namely Vue Aston and The Hexa. Both of these developments offer easy access to the downtown area without all the commotion that comes with living in a booming city like Phnom Penh.Knight Frank Cambodia projects that the 2019 year-end stock of condominium units of 19,236 would increase to 69,036 units over the next 3 years, assuming that all recorded projects are finished on time. The report also notes that the continuing rising price of land will drive development away from the city center and develop into other areas such as other parts of Chamkarmon, Chroy Changvar, Sen Sok, Mean Chey, and Toul Kork.Reports from Knight Frank H1 2019 and H2 2019 both reiterate stiff competition among condominium developers even before the COVID-19 outbreak. And given the current pandemic fears, the flattening prices of residential units are expected to see a downward trend the longer the current market uncertainty lasts. This, of course, is a boon to potential condominium buyers in Phnom Penh.Realestate.com.kh’s Black Friday Property Sale, happening on June 12, 2020 from 4:00pm to 8:00pm (local time) seeks to deliver these developments at the best prices to all prospecting homeowners and investors in the Kingdom.

The Peninsula, its development, and Black Friday Property Sales
The Peninsula, its development, and Black Friday Property Sales
June 6, 2022, 5:01 p.m.
When must-see places in Phnom Penh are talked about, Chroy Changvar is definitely one of the up-and-coming out there. The capital city’s remarkable growth can be seen through the rise of skyscrapers in the city and the parallel outward expansion of more shophouses, condos, and retail malls. Chroy Changvar, a peninsula occupying the western and northwestern parts of Phnom Penh, separated by the Tonle Sap river from mainland Phnom Penh, is one of the districts receiving the most attention from both buyers and developers - for good reason.The rising living standards in Phnom Penh has transformed the taste of local buyers and encouraged the willingness to spend from international investors. The key to this development is the opportunity presented by the development of Chroy Changvar as Phnom Penh’s next business and residential destination. The Peninsula Private Residences, a high-end development in the district, is one of its residential landmarks catering to a wide range of buyers looking to live in Cambodia’s next-generation business and entertainment hub. As with any residence, the crowning jewel of the Peninsula is its luxurious units complemented by amenities that take advantage of both modern comforts and Chroy Changvar’s natural offerings.The Peninsula Private Residences has 161 residential properties consisting of studio, 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, and 3-bedroom units. Unit sizes range from 60sqm with studio units up to 237sqm on 3-bedroom units. Every unit has a balcony where residents can enjoy Phnom Penh’s cool morning breeze. Potential buyers will also be delighted to know that units come fully-furnished so the only thing they need to do is settle in!The developer of The Peninsula, CC Peninsula Co., made it a point to have residents enjoy the natural feeling Chroy Changvar affords its inhabitants. Residents can enjoy themselves with 11 recreational amenities including a gym/fitness centre, sauna, garden, and swimming pool, to name a few. Building parking facilities are also available for any driver’s peace of mind.The Peninsula is scheduled to hand over its units by the end of 2020. Around 60% of units have reportedly already been sold and are continuously receiving inquiries for currently available ones. Price per square metre starts at  $2,200, putting it as one of the premium developments in Phnom Penh.Fortunately, The Peninsula Private Residences is part of the Black Friday Property Sales event!Industry Leaders: A discussion with the director of The Peninsula Private ResidenceThe Peninsula Private Residences will be offering its premium development at the best prices possible during the Black Friday Property Sales!Thomas O’Sullivan, CEO of Realestate.com.kh, recently interviewed Kam Chin Seng, Director of The Peninsula Private Residence about current market conditions due to COVID-19, the motivation behind the Peninsula’s location, and opportunities the Black Friday Property Sales offers to developers.According to Mr. Kam Chin Seng, while the adage “location, location, location” matters a lot, setting up development like that of the Peninsula seeks to go beyond that. Chroy Changvar enjoys much of the cool breeze present throughout the day during the colder months in the city - emphasizing on the everyday living experience of residents. Aside from this natural feature, he further cites the fast modernization of Daun Penh especially around the Vattanac Tower, Hong Kong Land developments, NagaWorld, and Independence Monument area, all of which are easily accessible via the Cambodia-China Friendship bridge.The opening of the Cambodia-Japan Friendship was a great boost to Chroy Changar’s potential. Thomas O’Sullivan, mentioned that before the bridge opened, a large portion of the market, though interested in buying a property in the district, were apprehensive to do so until the bridge finally opened. And as if overnight, according to Thomas, people suddenly realized that Chroy Changvar isn’t so far away from the Central Business District of Daun Penh.Other major developments in Chroy Changvar also include the new National Stadium, which is expected to hold 6,000 people is currently being developed, while the National Exhibition Hall, a big project by OCIC, is expected to open by the end of 2020, according to Mr. Kam Chin Seng. The government itself is investing in Chroy Changvar as the vital General Tax Department is also moving to the district.According to Mr. Kam Chin Seng, the Peninsula and its units were built to offer a more interesting layout, with more space, and price it reasonably to meet market demands. He adds that the natural feeling within Chroy Changvar greatly improves the quality of everyday life in the Peninsula.And it appears that the market agrees with the Peninsula’s offerings. During the interview, Mr. Sin Cheng confirms that around 60% of their units have already been sold and will be handed over to buyers by the end of 2020. When asked about the impact of COVID-19 on their project completion, he does concede that it has affected the delivery of materials, but has not significantly hindered the project as a whole.The COVID-19 global pandemic has certainly hit industries across the board. The robust real estate industry of Cambodia saw slowdowns due to shifting interests and the slowdown of material delivery, especially for the booming construction sector. According to Mr. Chin Seng, they felt the impact mostly during March and April, giving them the motivation to pursue online marketing with more vigor, and more importantly, shift their focus away from sales and instead put that energy into taking care of their current client base.Communicating with buyers, talking to them about the current situation in relation to their purchase, and the safeguards they’re taking, are important steps they’ve undergone during the height of the pandemic fears in Cambodia, says Mr. Chin Seng.Mr. Chin Seng entered the Peninsula Private Residences into the Black Friday Property Sales as he believes it’s a way to bridge the gap between buyers and developers during this pandemic. He cites that developers want to get past this situation as soon as possible, while at the same time, there are clients who are willing to take a bit more risk in purchasing property. On the developers’ side, he says that they want to move on from this by getting the best deal, not simply to make a sale, but to reward the risk appetite of clients - something Mr. Chin Seng believes to be a great deal for everyone in the property market.The Black Friday Property Sale is an online expo creating an environment where direct and indirect players in Cambodia’s real estate industry can meet to provide the best value for all stakeholders during this economic slowdown. As Thomas said in the interview, it’s not just the homebuyers, real estate developers, agencies, and portals like Realestate.com.kh who participate in the larger industry. Banks and other financial institutions also contribute to the growth of the Kingdom’s larger real estate economy.“The movement to the online space was bound to happen, COVID-19 or not”, said Mr. Chin Seng. He considers the Black Friday Property Sale is both a tool to market better to potential clients and a sign of how the industry needs to shift towards the online space sooner rather than later.“This new technology will continue after COVID”, said Mr. Chin Seng.If you are a developer and want more information about this event please contact:Nin Kang+855 78 637 323+855 93 552 305nin.kang@realestate.com.khSoun Sumey+855 77 241 285mey.soun@realestate.com.khIf you are a real estate agency, media platform, bank or related business and want to join as an affiliate please contact:Chen Huyhong+855 98 526 671cheng.huyhong@realestate.com.khTrixia General+855 17 870 064trixia.general@realestate.com.khAlexander Sing+855 15 583420+61 434 644 957 (WhatsApp)Alex.sing@realestate.com.khSun Rattanak+855 17 884 161rattanak.sun@realestate.com.khArticle by:
Real estate first to bounce back after COVID-19
Real estate first to bounce back after COVID-19
June 6, 2022, 5:01 p.m.
Economic recovery is possible but will likely be gradual without an effective vaccine in production. Supplied.Given Cambodia’s relative control over COVID-19, it can be expected that the Kingdom’s real estate sector would see fast recovery once the pandemic-induced crisis subsides.Over the past few months, Cambodian real estate agencies and developers have indicated the beginning of a downward trend in terms of prices due to fears caused by the pandemic. Home buying activity has slowed down and several developers have limited or suspended their operations in preparation for slow industry activity and to prevent any of their properties from becoming vectors for the virus.But once global fears subside and health authorities, especially in Cambodia, establish increased healthcare protocols, it can be expected that the real estate sector would see a gradual increase in activity.The scale as to how COVID-19 has affected the global economy is somewhat similar to that of the 2008 Financial Crisis. Not in terms of prices, but in terms of jeopardizing the general feeling of security homebuyers and other property investors require to close deals.The first signs/stage of economic recovery can be derived from a sense of confidence in how healthcare authorities have control over the situation; be it curbing new infections, recovery speed, adequacy of healthcare provisions, and especially, limiting the death toll. However, any recovery or upticks of activity stemming from this stage is not sustainable.While Cambodia certainly has a grasp on its COVID-19 situation, the government is still advising the population to observe basic hygiene and social distancing measures as the country is still susceptible to a second-wave of infections.A sustainable economic recovery, leading to that of pre-COVID-19 levels, can only be seen through the announcement of a commercially viable vaccine. Highly-industrialized countries, and their governments, have fast-tracked the development of these vaccines. However, vaccines require a lot of time through research and testing in order to determine its efficacy.Vaccine development is reported to take around 18 months to develop. Until that time, COVID-19 will remain a highly infectious disease. Sharp increases in economic activity on a macro-scale can be expected once a working vaccine is in mass production. And we would once again see an increase in real estate transactions and, naturally, prices.A silver-lining during the crisisThe crisis presents a unique and rare opportunity to purchase property at lower-than-market prices for savvy buyers out there. Though they may find it hard to examine properties they’re interested in due to developers limiting and even suspending their showroom operations.Given that there is no official announcement of a working vaccine yet, real estate prices are expected to see a continued downward trend.Realestate.com.kh, Cambodia’s biggest real estate portal, has recently announced an event called the Black Friday Property Sales. Inspired by the massive discounts during the Black Friday events in Western countries, the online real estate portal company has organized the first of its kind in Cambodia. While it won’t feature typical consumer goods, it will feature property developments in the Kingdom at the best prices possible.Borey VIP is the premier borey developer in Sihanoukville and will be offering big discounts on their development during the Black Friday Property Sale. Supplied.Happening on June 12, 2020 from 4pm to 8pm GMT+7, the Black Friday Property Sale will feature a collection of developments throughout the Kingdom in a single online event. Homebuyers can secure big discounts on premiere developments during the event.

Sky Villa combines luxury villas and sky-high apartments in Phnom Penh
Sky Villa combines luxury villas and sky-high apartments in Phnom Penh
June 6, 2022, 5:01 p.m.
As any city grows, higher standards of living require bigger homes - especially in the increasingly growing metro like Phnom Penh. Large-sized apartments in modern developments within the city, fortunately, have become more advanced and wide-spread.Unlike mediocre apartments, large-sized units are more spacious and offer bigger canvases for personal decoration and design. These large apartments are comparable to villas, but unlike villas, their prime location above the city's skyline makes them a great residence and investment option.Envisioning Phnom Penh's skyline dotted by towers isn't difficult. Soon, the city would be on par with other regional metro cities that bid any tourist or businessman to stay and explore more of it. One development that towers other developments in luxury and prestige is soon rising: The Sky Villa.The Sky Villa puts a great deal of focus on providing a sense of great artistic style. Its architect, C.Y. Lee, one of the designers of the famous Taipei 101, Kaohsiung 85 Sky Tower, and Chung Tai Chan Monastery, has lent his skill and talent in molding The Sky Villa into the next iconic landmark in the heart of Phnom Penh.Given the talent and skill behind it, Sky Villa sets a new bar for luxury residential architecture. It is the pinnacle of luxury living in Phnom Penh and sets itself apart from other developments with its extraordinary offerings.A part of Sky Villa is dedicated to featuring an ample outdoor area embraced by rich greenery and clusters of flowers. Residents have the freedom to decorate and energize their home with a natural feel, regardless of the hustle-and-bustle of the city outside. Sky Villa definitely offers the best of both worlds for its residents.The Sky Villa sits along the Poland Republic Boulevard within the capital’s busy 7 Makara District, with Cambodia’s National Olympic Stadium to its South. The traffic convenience means BKK, considered to be one of the commercial go-to places in Phnom Penh, is just a short drive away! The Sky Villa is also close to a number of foreign agencies, embassies, banks, and other multinational companies headquartered nearby. Olympia Mall, however, would be the primary shopping mall for residents as it is just around the corner. Other malls such as AEON Mall 1, Russian Market, and Central Market, are all reasonably close by and offer great alternatives to days when residents feel like going somewhere else.Of course, city life offers more than fun and games. Families, especially, want a great place for their kids to live, learn, and grow. A range of good schools are scattered all throughout Phnom Penh and most of them are located well-within 7 Makara. Sky Villa is a dream home for both individuals and families looking for every need and want within reach.The 35-storey Sky Villa twin towers are the latest addition to Phnom Penh's top-of-the-line residences. Its prestige as the city's most luxurious development earns it the landmark name of "Pearl of Asia". Sky Villa's magnificent grand lobby stands 10 meters high and is bathed in natural light. Adjacent to the grand lobby is the banquet & ballroom on the mezzanine, ideal for special occasions requiring a grand celebration or the quiet luxury for more private gatherings. Whatever it may be, the Sky Villa can host a wide range of events.From the ground floor to the 34th floor, a world of color is introduced. A spectacular sky-high view of the city indulges residents with the beauty of a developed cityscape. The 34th floor also houses the in-house pool surrounded by greeneries. The exclusive lounge, the Sky Villa Club, located on the top-most floor, is the crown jewel of this luxury residence. It offers a variety of top-class amenities including a fitness centre, sauna & spa, and a range of gourmet restaurants. The Sky Villa Club also services private catering and a reading area to nourish both your body and soul.Sky Villa is developed and managed by MCC. MCC’s management has a strong reputation with an impressive portfolio throughout Singapore. The Sky Villa’s in-house services make it a genuine extension of a luxury lifestyle as its staff can assist you in making everyday life much easier. These include organizing transport, housekeeping & laundry, grocery shopping, secretarial services, events planning, and many more. Its 24/7 concierge can help give you inside knowledge of the surrounding area; granting you a more vibrant experience of Phnom Penh’s many facets of business and entertainment. A four-storey underground car park and around-the-clock surveillance of CCTV give you the peace of mind you deserve.The Sky Villa offers a total of 256 units for sale. The units range from 270 to 509 sqm of living space, making them the biggest condos in Cambodia. These units were specifically designed for both personal and multi-generation living, and their luxurious leisure allows everyone to find a corner of the Sky Villa they can call their own.Perhaps a super-sized home in Phnom Penh has never occurred to you, however, the Sky Villa is offering you a very pleasant and affordable price for this extremely fineness and luxury residence, which averagely equals to one or several tenths of that in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, or China.The Sky Villa is a joint-venture between GreatView Investment Pte Ltd., and MCC Land Singapore, both companies being Singapore-based companies focused on real estate development and engineering. MCC Land (Singapore) Pte Ltd (hereinafter referred to as the "company"), a subsidiary of a Chinese corporation listed in Hong Kong and Shanghai, is a developer and engineering services provider in Singapore. Ranking in the global top 500, the company has promoted the development of Singapore and got involved in building many landmark properties, including the Universal studio at Sentosa resort, the Keppel Distripark industrial zone and the HDB BTO project.Recently, The company has developed and managed a number of premium properties ranging from condos to private apartments, such as the Alps Residences, Queens Peak, The Canopy, The Nautical, Canberra Residences, Forestville, The Poiz Residences & Centre, The Santorini, and more. MCC Land (Singapore) looks forward to introducing more Singapore's productivity and profession into Cambodia's rapidly modernizing and urbanizing of housing.The Sky Villa will soon be handed over to early buyers. By then, it will become the new landmark development in Phnom Penh known as "Pearl of Asia". Ever dreamed of owning an apartment the size of villa for an affordable price? Sky Villa offers both price and luxury, just waiting for you.Realestate.com.kh is proud to bring the first Black Friday Property Sale to the Cambodian real estate market.

Wealth Mansion adapts to new realities of COVID-19
Wealth Mansion adapts to new realities of COVID-19
June 6, 2022, 5:01 p.m.
The unprecedented COVID-19 outbreak has essentially paralyzed the world economy since early 2020. Not only does it threaten lives, but also the livelihoods of millions, if not billions of people. The big challenges posed by the outbreak have strained industries and businesses far and beyond. While a number of companies have weathered and are starting to adapt, an untold number of others have been left in ruins.Despite the months of struggle that has certainly hurt, leading enterprises have begun adapting to the proverbial “new normal”. The process of achieving success - in this new environment - has presented a brand new set of rewards.

Ltd.Key venues such as the new Municipal Hall and the Southeast Asian Games will be located in Chroy Changvar - both of which are only 2 kilometres away from the administrative and banking hub of the city.

Black Friday and big discounts - when did they start?
Black Friday and big discounts - when did they start?
June 6, 2022, 5:01 p.m.
November 24, 1978, Shoppers at Valley View Mall pack the shopping center on the first day of the Christmas shopping season. Photo by Clint Grant.You’ve probably heard of Black Friday in one way or another, and the words “big discount” and “limited time offer” usually follow any advertisement of the event. With those key phrases plastered all over, it’s hard to miss any mention of it at certain times of the year. But have you ever wondered when it all started?In the United States, Black Friday is arguably a cultural event, stemming from the country’s strong consumer market, especially around the late-November and December holiday seasons. However, pinpointing the first-ever Black Friday, or even time frame, is not as clear-cut as the history of how diamonds became a staple of marriage proposals (also an interesting story).December 1947 - American shoppers visit stores in Manhattan for the Christmas holiday shopping season. The photo was taken from cntraveler.com “Vintage Photos: Holiday Window Displays at Stores Around the World” by Tara Bell.Black Friday’s history, shrouded in mystery, has led to several hypotheses of where the term came from. One of the most widely circulated explanations is through the accounting phrases known as “operating in the red” and “operating in the black”. If a business is “operating in the red”, the business may be spending more than what it’s earning, as denoted by the red ink used to denote debt in accounting books. On the other hand, “operating in the black” means the business is earning a profit from sales as the ink used is black. But this explanation only answers the “Black” in Black Friday, so, how did it come to be on a Friday?This one is a bit tougher to determine but it’s widely believed to come from its Thanksgiving association. Every Thanksgiving is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November when families come together and give thanks to the blessings they received in the past year. Thanksgiving is also the unofficial start of the holiday shopping season in the United States. Hence, the Friday following Thanksgiving day itself is when retailers plaster big discounts to attract as many buyers as possible in the opening days of the holiday shopping season.Considering how big Black Friday has become, will something like this ever come to Cambodia? While discounts are not uncommon among Cambodian retailers, there’s never really been an industry-wide sale popularized in the same manner. But that is changing with Realestate.com.kh’s Black Friday Property Sale, the first-ever Black Friday sale in Cambodia.Real estate prices industry-wide have been dropping for the past few months, even among Cambodia’s top-tier developments. This presents a rare and unique opportunity for any prospecting homeowner in the Kingdom to get their dream home at more attractive prices during the Black Friday Property Sale.The event is scheduled on June 12, 2020 4pm to 8pm GMT+7. The Black Friday Property Sale will feature time-exclusive discounts on top-tier property from renowned real estate developers in the country.Register for FREE today at the Black Friday Property Sale website and mark your calendars in June 2020.Article by:

New realities of property investments during COVID-19
New realities of property investments during COVID-19
June 6, 2022, 5:01 p.m.
“A new normal” is a phrase being thrown around in a lot of industry news nowadays. While that’s certainly an observable phenomenon, COVID-19 in the context of the financial and real estate markets is seen as part of a decades-long cycle - a source of much boon to savvy investors.Stock markets, starting from the 1980s, have seen bullish performances, save for a few key phenomena that pulled the trend downwards. These markets grew exponentially in the latter part of 90s when the Chinese economy increased its participation in the global economy, culminating in its accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2001 which resulted in global stock markets to peak.Then in what appeared to be bad years, the Asian financial crisis in 1997 and was followed by the SARS outbreak 1997. Whatever growth was seen plummeted as quickly as they rose, resulting in a 5-year setback. A majority of countries with confirmed cases saw reduced economic activity much like what we’re seeing with COVID-19 today.But once SARS became under control, markets immediately picked up and eventually surpassed the peak experienced in the early 2000s - until the US housing bubble burst in 2008.Again, property markets suffered and hundreds of thousands of people lost their jobs. Economic activity slowed, reminiscent of the crisis experienced earlier in the decade. Considering how global financial markets were connected, the impact of the 2008 crisis was more severe. This resulted in a relatively slow recovery and it took close to a decade for the wider consumer market to regain pre-crisis confidence.COVID-19 seems to be the viral outbreak version of the 2008 financial crisis. How the world has become interconnected has certainly contributed to how fast and how widespread the disease grew into a pandemic, and from the looks of things, the fears of COVID-19 will likely last until a vaccine finally rolls out.This presents a small window of opportunity to purchase a wide variety of properties below pre-crisis market values. But, as the wider market is affected by job losses and overall economic slumps, some considerations will have to be made by property investors.First, as the rental market is huge in Cambodia, investors who own rental properties will likely have to rely on western and other foreign tenants to occupy their vacancies. However, this does not mean landlords can charge the same rentals as before, concessions in terms of rentals will likely have to be made to keep current tenants and even attract new ones.Second, for those yet to get their feet into the property market, they should only purchase developments that are finished, close to finishing, or are from a reputable developer to mitigate development risks.Third, landlords who put out leases may have to compromise on annual increases. For example, instead of 15% increase over 3 years, this may have to be scaled back down to 5% for 3 years.Fourth, investors may need to look at buying property below replacement cost. That way rentals cannot go down as much as new properties will cost a lot more to be developed.The biggest profit in real estate is not made in selling but through purchasing at record low prices. COVID-19 is one of those once-in-a-decade phenomena where savvy investors can turn the biggest profits through the least amount of capital risked. The only thing that’s certain right now is that the pandemic is temporary and that means markets will soar much like they did after the global financial and health crisis experienced in the past 3 decades.Realestate.com.kh is proud to bring the first Black Friday Property Sale to the Cambodian real estate market.

COVID-19 heightens competition for office tenants in Phnom Penh
COVID-19 heightens competition for office tenants in Phnom Penh
June 6, 2022, 5:01 p.m.
A lot has been shared about how COVID-19 will shift the landscape of tourism and retail. But not a lot has been said about real estate, which arguably has a bigger impact on economic growth due to the industry’s importance to the businesses that operate within the aforementioned sectors. After all, most businesses need an office to operate out of.Office spaces in the Kingdom are concentrated in Phnom Penh, particularly in the districts of Daun Penh, Chamkarmon, Boeng Keng Kang (BKK), and 7 Makara, according to Knight Frank’s H1 2019 real estate report. During this time in 2019, the growing supply of office spaces available kept rental quotations at a flatline due to the increasing supply; a supply expected to swell from 400,000 sqm to over 1 million sqm post-2021.This coincides with CBRE’s Fearless Forecast 2020, an annual forum for real estate professionals, which expects a softening of office space rentals throughout the year due to a rapid influx of new office spaces, save for Grade A units.While the growing supply of office spaces has stymied the growth of rental quotations, the outbreak of COVID-19 has certainly tipped the market over the threshold, according to the latest report released by CBRE earlier in April 2020. The already-hard-to-fill office spaces have become even harder to fill as fears of the contagion negatively affect the confidence of many businesses.Consequently, a growing number of companies in the Kingdom have opted for a work-from-home scheme as a compromise approach to keep business running while limiting the risk to their workforce. Prior to the outbreak of COVID-19, work-from-home schemes have been on the fringes of work setups, but it is likely to become more mainstream the longer the pandemic persists - a creeping challenge to office developers throughout the world.The office space market in Cambodia, however, has been facing other challenges prior to the outbreak of COVID-19. Part of the oversupply factor is the rise of strata-titled offices in Phnom Penh. These new office leasing schemes work similarly to strata-titled condominiums where each unit or floor space has a different owner. While this scheme is still in its infancy, it does present itself as an alternative to tenants looking for more flexibility.Co-working spaces, popular in Western countries, have also taken root in Phnom Penh. Young entrepreneurs have been increasingly attracted to co-working spaces as it offers a good means for capital growth and affords small businesses the flexibility they need to operate as opposed to strict and long-term commitments from conventional offices.Rent growth is correlated with job growth across global office markets. The office market will likely not see either one in the short-term, at least. COVID-19 has shifted the work setup paradigm, and if office developers are to compete within the shrinking market for tenants, adjustments to conventional lease terms will have to be made.Realestate.com.kh is proud to bring back Cambodia’s biggest Property & Lifestyle Market Expo which will be held on 7th and 8th August at Koh Pich Exhibition Center.Booth sales and sponsorships for Home & Lifestyle Expo 2020 are open.For more information, please contact:Nin Kang (Khmer/ English/ Chinese)+855 78 637 323+855 93 552 305nin.kang@realestate.com.khArticle by:
Warehouse market may see more interest during COVID-19
Warehouse market may see more interest during COVID-19
June 6, 2022, 5:01 p.m.
Last April 9, 2020, the government announced a national restriction on movement throughout Cambodia until April 16. The decree prevents ordinary citizens from travelling between provinces as a measure to prevent further spread of the highly infectious COVID-19 disease. The only exemptions to this decree are military transports, ambulances and other medical staff, government officials on official business, and transports containing essential goods.While the measure lasts for just 7 days, it does highlight the need for a sustainable way of maintaining a healthy supply chain of essential products if a full quarantine, especially for an indefinite amount of time, is ever enacted in the Kingdom.According to a report from the Wall Street Journal, the market for storing and distributing goods has become volatile in the United States. The sweeping quarantine measures have wreaked havoc on the world’s largest economy and disrupted established “just-in-time” networks of maintaining supply. The disruption in the supply chain, according to the report, is largely due to the changing consumer market behaviour due to COVID-19.The temporary shutdown of non-essential businesses in affected countries has caused supply pipelines to clog as non-essential products such as apparels and electronics - which normally see fast turnover - have ground to a halt and are moved back to storage. At the same time, warehouses are starting to accommodate an increasing number of food, medical, and other essential supplies at larger quantities to meet the sharp turn to new and greatly increased demand.Though it is not just any type of warehouse that may see an increase in use during the pandemic.Temperature-controlled warehouses and cold storages may be of particular significance for food storage if consumers, especially in big cities like Phnom Penh, are to resort to ordering groceries online. Other warehouses, specifically capable of maintaining the sanitation of medical gear and other supplies will also be of special significance in the Kingdom’s fight against the coronavirus.Packing warehouses will be of equal importance as adequately storing essential products is only half the battle. Properly packaging and efficiently distributing basic consumer goods will give Cambodians a sense of security and normalcy even during a pandemic.The Cambodian government, through its ministries, has assured the public that the Kingdom has enough resources in terms of food and medical essentials to combat the spread of COVID-19. The private sector has also stepped up by importing additional food resources earlier in the year to ensure the fulfilment of local demand.At the time of reporting, the Kingdom’s numbers are relatively low compared to its South East Asian neighbours; there have only been 122 confirmed cases in Cambodia. Of these, 96 have already recovered from COVID-19.Realestate.com.kh is proud to bring back Cambodia’s biggest Property & Lifestyle Market Expo which will be held on 7th and 8th August at Koh Pich Exhibition Center.Booth sales and sponsorships for Home & Lifestyle Expo 2020 are open.For more information, please contact:Nin Kang (Khmer/ English/ Chinese)+855 78 637 323+855 93 552 305nin.kang@realestate.com.khArticle by:

Prince Happiness Plaza : good option of safe store of wealth even under pandemic
Prince Happiness Plaza : good option of safe store of wealth even under pandemic
June 6, 2022, 5:01 p.m.
How has the Cambodian property industry been dealing with COVID-19’s global outbreak? The construction sector is continuously seeing approvals with on-going constructions carrying on - keeping it far from stagnation, according to a government report.A key example is the continued construction of the expressway connecting Phnom Penh and Sihanoukville. The momentum of large projects remain undeterred as Cambodia has not experienced a massive outbreak of the virus compared to other countries. It is expected that once the crisis ends, the construction and property sector will bounce back with more interest and activity.Although Cambodian properties have grown more attractive to property investors from abroad, it is important to remember that its appeal largely depends on the returns and its other potentials. Foreign investors will definitely be looking at the quality of the property as a prime selling point.In fact, “quality consumption” has gradually become a staple of modern lifestyle. This new must-have can also be seen being adopted on clothing and food and interestingly highlights the importance of brand trust. When it comes to property hunting, developers establishing a brand image are adopting quality consumption through better finance and a show of strong and expert level of operations management.Quality products mean greater potential for appreciation in a growing market while offering plenty of buoyancy against a bearish market. COVID-19 has certainly made a distinction between developers you should and shouldn’t be looking to for your hard-earned wealth.Prince Happiness Plaza is built by the Prince Real Estate Group, a leading real estate developers in Cambodia. The group owes its reputation of being quality developers of residential and commercial projects to its professional relationships built and its expert way of managing its various operations in the Kingdom.Prince Real Estate Group boasts several projects in Phnom Penh and Sihanoukville, including high-end complexes and central business landmarks such as the Prince Central Plaza, Prince Modern Plaza, Prince Times Plaza, Prince International Plaza, Prince Happiness Plaza, Prince Tian Xi Wan, Prince City Center, Prince Blue Bay Palace, Prince Smart Garden, Prince Koh Takeiv and many more in the pipeline.Every development is preceded by meticulous research on any area. This is then followed by strict planning born of years of experience in the industry. As a result, Prince Real Estate Group has delivered many properties worthy of the word-of-mouth recommendations it has received over the years.As the saying goes, a gigantic tree is a great source of shelter. Likewise, the Prince Real Estate Group offers a great way for investors to preserve their wealth. Its projects alone have covered a titled land area exceeding 12 million sqm and a total floor development plan of more than 20 million sqm, which adds up to over 2 billion USD in investments.But property investment is not just about the property itself. It is also very much about the surrounding environment and facilities offered in the area. The value and the rental return of the investment is directly related to the growth and prosperity of its neighbourhood.Prime location is the first step to wealth security and growthIf you’re considering the potential for appreciation, the surrounding convenience, amenities and other upcoming developments in the area could give you a picture of future returns.Prince Happiness Plaza is a top-class development located in the south of Phnom Penh. Its location ticks all of the important boxes of a project with a high potential for appreciation. For example, Khan Meanchey, the district south of Prince Happiness Plaza, is seeing plenty more commercial developments in the coming years.Residents are guaranteed a great atmosphere with Prince Happiness Plaza’s excellent selection of facilities. It’s also worth mentioning that it sits right in the hub of embassies including Australia, Thailand, Japan, Russia, South Korea, and Malaysia.It is also just a stone’s throw away from major tourist attractions such as the National Museum, the Independence Monument, and the Royal Palace. Major shopping markets and malls such as PH ECO Mall, Russian Market, Central Market, AEON Mall 1, and the upcoming AEON Mall 3. Prince Happiness Plaza has a great selection of surrounding schools such as the International School of Phnom Penh (ISPP), ZAMAN International School, and the Royal University of Law and Economics. The benefits of its location does not stop there.Health and fitness are important to any investor, and Prince Happiness Plaza meets these needs. The First Center Polyclinic, the Bayon Hospital Phnom Penh, and the Olympic Stadium are a short drive away. The Sofitel Hotel and NagaWorld are close by for high-class recreational activities, giving residents of the plaza a range of dazzling indulgences befitting their lifestyle.The Prince Happiness Plaza sits along Monivong Boulevard and is relatively near where Monivong, Road 271, and Hun Sen Boulevard all merge - allowing for quick access to the heart of Phnom Penh, the airport, and basically anywhere else in the city! Owning property in the Prince Happiness Plaza is an ideal way of protecting and growing one’s wealth based on a safe and prosperous location in the south of Phnom Penh.The current health crisis will pass eventually, and activities will resume - it’s all a matter of time. All of these events have shed light on the importance of good investments on good name brands, especially in something as essential as a home.Realestate.com.kh is proud to bring the first Black Friday Property Sale to the Cambodian real estate market.

Real estate prices begin downward trend as COVID-19 escalates
Real estate prices begin downward trend as COVID-19 escalates
June 6, 2022, 5:01 p.m.
Real estate prices in Cambodia are starting to take a hit due to fears of COVID-19, according to a report from CBRE Cambodia. The outbreak, which began in Wuhan, China, back in January 2020, has infected more than 1.2 million people internationally by early April 2020. As the pandemic escalates, the socio-economic effects of COVID-19 are starting to affect the real estate prices across the world, including that of Cambodia’s.According to CBRE, the Ministry of Land Management, Urban Planning and Construction, the first 2 months of 2020 maintained strong growth in approved investment into construction, with the total value of approvals reaching almost US$2 billion across 728 public and private projects, indicating a growth of 47% compared to the same period in 2019. But this has likely slowed down in March 2020 when it became clear that issues caused by the virus will persist for quite some time.Condominium prices face downward trendBy the end of Q1 2020, condominium price per square metre, especially in the high-end and mid-range sectors, have begun showing signs of a possible downward trend, according to CBRE Cambodia. The mid-range market’s price per square metre decreased by 1.5% while the high-end market slipped by 0.5%. On the other hand, the affordable segment of the market increased in price by 0.3%.Condominium rentals are also affected by current market conditions. Rental prices in the high-end and mid-range have slid by 0.4% and 0.6% respectively. The drop in prices is attributed to fears surrounding COVID-19 and new supplies of condominium units coming online in Q1 2020.The CBRE Cambodia report indicates that the effects of COVID-19 on real estate prices, especially in condominiums, are still in its early stages. Prices could still go down if the socio-economic impact of the pandemic persists in Q2 2020.Office space market becomes more competitive for landlordsPhnom Penh’s office space market has seen a massive increase in supply over the past few years. While occupancy remained at a reasonable level since, the uncertainty caused by COVID-19 have severely limited the number of potential tenants - making the market more competitive for landlords.According to CBRE Cambodia, quoting rents flatlined for all office segments in Q1 2020 despite initial upward movements of rents beginning January. The competition has somewhat intensified for landlords, some even offering short-term discounts to attract new tenants.It is expected that the spread between quotes and actual rentals will widen through Q3 2020 as the pandemic continues to escalate. The incoming influx of office spaces is reportedly expected to apply downward pressure on the office market’s rental prices in Q2 and Q3 2020.Retail spaces are the most exposed to COVID-19 economic pressuresAs the Kingdom prepares for what appears to be a peak that’s yet-to-come, segments of the Cambodian population, particularly in the cities have started observing self-quarantines. The government’s cancellation of major public events such as celebrations of the Khmer New Year have severely curtailed the foot traffic normally seen by commercial establishments.According to CBRE’s report, the decrease in foot traffic in Phnom Penh’s retail centres saw a sharp drop due to the spread of COVID-19. Low retail sales have translated to quoted rentals rates being slashed by as much as 10.5%, the sharpest reduction in 4 years.Retailers are advised to explore omnichannel presence to keep afloat amid the pandemic.CBRE expects retail and consumer confidence to pick up later in 2020.Landed property remains resilientAccording to CBRE, despite 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, signaled by the 14 newly launched projects witnessed during the past 6 months.Quoted prices on these properties also showed no signs of slowing down by the end of Q1 2020. In fact, prices saw increases of up to 2.9% in linked house properties during the same period - with villas reporting price growths of up to 4.3%. This is attributed to the local status of landed property as “safe-haven” for capital, according to the CBRE Cambodia report.CBRE’s report anticipates that Borey sale prices will remain robust throughout the year. If there are any market corrections, household cash-flow distress is expected to be contained by the secondary market, a.k.a resales.Realestate.com.kh is proud to bring back Cambodia’s biggest Property & Lifestyle Market Expo which will be held on 7th and 8th August at Koh Pich Exhibition Center.Booth sales and sponsorships for Home & Lifestyle Expo 2020 are open.For more information, please contact:Nin Kang (Khmer/ English/ Chinese)+855 78 637 323+855 93 552 305nin.kang@realestate.com.khArticle by:
China’s housing market bounces back, will Cambodia follow?
China’s housing market bounces back, will Cambodia follow?
June 6, 2022, 5:01 p.m.
Looking at the Chinese real estate market’s experience of the pandemic, the imposed lockdowns essentially froze huge portions of the industry. Recorded property sales plummeted by as much as 80% in big cities when lockdowns were enforced, according to a report from the South China Morning Post.But in early April 2020, community quarantines and travel restrictions were slowly lifted across China. Market observers then began noticing the first signs of recovery. According to a report from the China Real Estate Information Corporation (CRIC), transactions in large cities such as Shenzhen, Fuzhou, Hangzhou, Chengdu, Shantou, Jiaxing, and Yangzhou have started to pick up in volumes surpassing the average transactions made in Q4 of 2019.The CRIC reports that some 175,800 sqm of residential property was sold in Suzhou within a single week back in March 2020. CRIC’s report further reveals that a district in Suzhou sold 170 million USD of property in 1 minute of online sales through property portals similar to Realestate.com.kh.The report from the South China Morning Post attributes the rebound to low prices following the spread of COVID-19 in China, aided by financing assistance, making several projects popular. A Chinese real estate insider also derives the sales to “pent-up” demand from the Spring Festival and the widespread lockdowns.Huaian CityHangzhou CityChengdu CityFuzhou CityInternational property consultancy Knight Frank, however, cautions developers not to get too excited as sales could still face shortfalls up to 40% of year-ago sales figures. According to Martin Wong, an associate director at Knight Frank, “The sales outlook for the whole year depends on the development of the coronavirus condition”.Xie Rui, a property analyst from Golden Credit Rating, projects that nationwide sales of sqm sold will likely be lower by 4.5% by the end of 2020 compared to 2019. Although, this figure assumes that COVID-19 is under control by the end of April.Cambodian real estate showing early signs of slumpCambodia has not experienced a massive outbreak, nor is it facing a nationwide shutdown (as of posting April 9, 2020). Regardless, the pandemic has strained the country’s economy, hardest hit being its tourism, and most recently, its real estate sector.CBRE Cambodia, part of CBRE’s international property consultancy, reported early signs of real estate prices sliding this quarter. The lack of foot traffic and cancellation of public events has especially exposed retail spaces to as much as a 10.5% reduction in rental prices, the highest in 4 years.For residential properties, CBRE’s report showed small but indicative price reductions. Condominiums are now experiencing a decrease from 0.5% to 1.5% in price per sqm on the high-end and mid-range, respectively, in Q1 2020. The affordable end of the market slightly picked up by 0.3% in the same period.Landed property remains resilient as prices of house units increased by up to 4% according to CBRE Cambodia. Landed property in the Kingdom has a status of “safe-haven” for capital, and that perception is faring well in the early parts of this outbreak.While CBRE Cambodia reports that the slump is still in its early stages, market adjustments will likely persist if the pandemic continues to spread at alarming rates throughout the year.Can Cambodia mirror China’s market resurgence?While Cambodia and China are two vastly different economies, examining China’s initial signs of economic recovery helps set expectations for the Kingdom’s real estate market.Prior to the global outbreak in January 2020, the Kingdom’s real estate industry has been strengthened by developers meeting mid-range demands of the local market. According to Knight Frank Cambodia, mid-range residential developments are set to overtake the dominant supply of high-end developments.The demand for affordable property is likely to sustain itself after the outbreak as, much like the Chinese, the Cambodians value property as a safe store of wealth. Delivering more mid-range and affordable properties, aided by financial assistance, maybe the bedrock of any real estate recovery post-COVID-19China's economic activity tanked after the restrictions on movement. While there is no lockdown proclaimed, the outbreak has spurred more precautions in daily economic activity, negatively affecting the projected 7% GDP growth. This change in behavior highlights the need for the industry to adapt to changing circumstances.Many Chinese property seekers have opted to look for property online throughout the lockdown. The Cambodian market may be starting to reflect this behavior as more showrooms close. Any real estate market recovery will definitely be helped along by the sense of euphoria once COVID-19 passes, which further highlights the need of developers and agents to maintain an online presence.A lot is still uncertain in terms of COVID-19 peak and restrictions of movement in the Kingdom. Regardless of how relatively contained the disease is, the government is keeping a close eye on the situation. The only thing certain is that fears of the pandemic have already taken root in Cambodia’s economy and will likely take some time (6 months at the very least) for markets to recover to pre-outbreak activity.Realestate.com.kh is proud to bring back Cambodia’s biggest Property & Lifestyle Market Expo which will be held on 7th and 8th August at Koh Pich Exhibition Center.Booth sales and sponsorships for Home & Lifestyle Expo 2020 are open.For more information, please contact:Nin Kang (Khmer/ English/ Chinese)+855 78 637 323+855 93 552 305nin.kang@realestate.com.khArticle by:
