Phnom Penh

Phnom Penh

Situated where three rivers intersect, the Mekong, Tonle Sap and the Tonle Bassac, Phnom Penh has been the capital city of the Kingdom of Cambodia since the mid-1860s. Since its humble beginnings, Phnom Penh has grown to become the nation's unquestionable political and economic center, serving as the seat of government and hub for foreign investment.  Cambodia had the second fastest rate of urban spatial expansion in Southeast Asia between 2010-2015 according to the most recent reports from the World Bank. Cambodia’s average growth rate of around 7 percent year-on-year continues to fuel an economic boom in Phnom Penh, and the rapidly developing city now offers all you would expect from a modern Asian metropolis. From expansive shopping centers and purpose-built retail malls, high-rise residential and commercial buildings, and five-star hotels, a variety of restaurants and eclectic F&B options, and a vibrant nightlife; Phnom Penh is attracting visitors and investors from all around the world.  Phnom Penh's economy encompasses a range of industries from textiles and agricultural processing to various forms of commodity trading. Phnom Penh's financial sector has grown considerably in recent years, especially since the establishment of the Cambodian Stock Exchange (CSX) in 2012. The CSX raised a record $151 million in securities and corporate bond trading in 2019 which represents a 26 percent increase from $120 million in 2018.  Extravagant new modern buildings across Phnom Penh are changing the capital’s skyline and transforming it into a playground where a new generation of Cambodians from the country's emerging middle class rub shoulders with the local elite and international investors.  Yet, wealth distribution remains unequal in Cambodia, meaning local tastes are ultimately hinged on the associated costs. Nevertheless, as the middle class continues to grow and prosper, consumer products and services are growing at a rate previously unseen in the nation, and more so in the capital than anywhere else.

Siem Reap

Siem Reap

Known affectionately as Temple Town, Siem Reap is one of the most intriguing places in Southeast Asia and one of the most visited destinations in Cambodia, mainly due to the attraction of the Angkor Wat Archaeological Park. The city is located in Siem Reap Province which is the 10th largest province in Cambodia. The balance of being home to an iconic wonder of the world and a growing modern city is striking in Siem Reap. Many foreign nationals have chosen to relocate to Siem Reap every year in the north of Cambodia as it is one of the most popular areas in the country to start a business especially for those in the F&B, hospitality and tourism industries.  This also means a growing expatriate population is settling here while development continues to pour in to cater for the booming tourism industry. There have also been improvements in creating world-class MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibition) facilities to incentivize international business delegations. In addition to the lure of Angkor Wat, Tonle Sap Lake is an integral ecological hub in Cambodia, and the largest freshwater lake in SEA and the surrounding areas are still vital for agriculture, fishing and ecotourism.

Sihanoukville

Sihanoukville

Sihanoukville, known as Kampong Som in Khmer, sits on the Kingdoms’ peninsula of the pristine southern coast on the Gulf of Thailand. As the fourth-largest city in Cambodia, it is a key hub for trade, business and tourism and it has been undergoing massive development. The coastal city also is the capital of Preah Sihanouk province. Since around 2017, Sihanoukville has seen rapid development, mainly due to skyrocketing tourism and foreign investment from China. The city is seen as a vital cog in China’s One Belt, One Road initiative. Continued demand for land has pushed up the prices, to a point where it was higher than sought after beachfront land prices in Thailand and Vietnam. Meanwhile, the tourism markets in Thailand and Vietnam are more developed than Cambodia although it is constantly being improved upon. Increase in tourism, trade and infrastructure improvements are driving an increase in rent of accommodation and commercial premises in Sihanoukville. This has caused some residents and business owners to relocate outside of the city centre while the huge development plan is in progress upgrading roads, drainage, access to amenities and at the international airport and seaport. The city is earmarked as a city of the future and a potential jewel in the crown of Cambodia and SEA. With its coastal and serene landscape and easy access to the tropical island paradise, Sihanoukville’s strategic development is of vital importance to Cambodia.

Kampot

Kampot

Kampot is a city in southwest Cambodia and is the capital of Kampot province. The city is regarded as one of the most important seaports in Cambodia, while the province has a coastline of approximately 94 km. Unlike most Cambodian provincial capitals, the centre of Kampot is composed of many 19th-century French colonial architecture buildings and it has a laid back feel, as the riverside city is less developed than its bigger counterparts in Phnom Penh in Sihanoukville. The Old Town of Kampot was also listed as a UNESCO world heritage site in 2017. The Praek Tuek Chhu River, makes Kamot a perfect riverside setting, in the shadow of the nearby Bokor Mountain, and it offers a pleasant and fresh environment with sunset boat cruises a popular activity. Although there is a good resident population, it is a popular domestic tourist destination and seasonal hotspot. The region is also famous for producing high-quality Kampot pepper, which is regarded and exported worldwide. It is also known for its Kampot fish sauce and durian, which are believed to be among the best in the world. Although Kampot is quiet and chic and very popular for weekend visits from residents of the bigger cities, it is also earmarked for changes as new development and better infrastructure is slowly transforming the sleepy river town.  Close to Kampot, there are also a number of natural key tourist attractions, including waterfalls, river rapids and mangroves and caving so it's an ideal eco-tourism hub. With more international property developers investigating opportunities, a new seaport under construction, and a tourism blueprint in development, the future of Kampot is bright.

Sen Sok

Sen Sok

Sen Sok district was established in 2009 in the capital of Phnom Penh. The incorporated land was formerly a part of Kandal province but was absorbed into the capital’s expansion. Sen Sok was also created through the merger of three Sangkats; Khmuonh, Phnom Penh Thmei and Tuek Thla which used to be part of Khan Russey Keo. The area is home to roughly 10% of Phnom Penh’s residents. Sen Sok is a district in the northwest of Phnom Penh’s city centre that is growing and modernising quickly and is a hotbed for development. Just like neighbouring district Toul Kork, many residents are relocating to Sen Sok to find more affordable land and property. Until recently, the area was mostly residential and industrial. In recent years, however, there have been some high profile commercial projects that seem to be kicking activity into high gear. These include the addition of the AEON Mall Sen Sok, as well as warehouse-size outlets like Global House and Makro Cambodia and huge mixed development projects and boreys.

There are condos, shopping malls, entertainment venues, business complexes and parking lots under construction, or already completed. The area to the north is still surrounded by several potential development areas and plots of land. However, with the rapid development of the commercial and real estate, large areas of vacant land have now been filled. This also has resulted in a vastly improved infrastructure.  A large number of senior officials and a section of the business elite of Phnom Penh and Cambodian officials also reside in Toul Kork. The Khan is now considered an extension of the capital’s CBD rather than an outlying area and it is also a thoroughfare to the recently popular Sen Sok area.

It is also now close to a number of key tourist and leisure activities in the city. Over the past decade, Chroy Changvar has developed at a rate much faster than other districts in Phnom Penh, as it had large plots of empty land which have been snapped up to take advantage of the city’s construction boom. The peninsula formed by the Mekong and Tonle Sap rivers, as well as Koh Dach (Silk Island) also offer pristine river views and city views of Phnom Penh from Chroy Changvar. It is not as much a clustered city sprawl like the CBD (Central Business District) of Phnom Penh. Ideally located on National Highway 6A, which runs through Chroy Changvar, it offers a direct route to the key northern provinces of Siem Reap, Kampong Thom, and Kampong Cham.
