Cambodia’s property boom continues despite pandemic – is Phnom Penh real estate a good investment? Where to look and what to look for

The Southeast country is a consistent performer in residential property, with interest from an increasing number of investors from Hong Kong, mainland China and the region, especially in the expat-friendly capital.

Having garnered the attention of residential investors for at least the last three years, Cambodia’s construction boom continues unabated.

Even considering the supply chain disruptions caused by Covid-19, real estate services firm CBRE still projects a 34 per cent increase in condominium supply this year (down from the 55 per cent earlier forecast for 2020). The firm is expecting a total of 28,000 units to have been completed by end of the year, up from current supply of 21,000 units as of Q2.
