Commercial Real Estate 10

• Commercial property market has been growing strong

since the last few years, with the supply of major

commercial development centers such as Sovanna Mall,

Canadia Tower, Phnom Penh Tower, and lately the

Ratannac Tower and AEON shopping mall as well as the

soon-coming Parkson Mall.

• About 275,000 sqm is the the total supply of retail

property in 2015, contributed hugely by the coming of

AEON Mall (Retail Market Phnom Penh, Sept 2014,

CBRE).

Retail Sector 11

It is estimated that about 300,000 sqm

of retail space is slated for the market supply

by the end of 2016 (Retail Market Phnom

Penh, Sept 2014, CBRE).

Office Center

About 190,000 sq.m of office space

has supplied into Phnom Penh office market

since 2012, as no more supply has been

added to the market in the last few years

(Phnom Penh Market Review, March 2014,

CBRE).

Residential Market Overview

• Demand for villas and shop houses within ‘borey’ developments remains strong, driven principally by Cambodian nationals able to take advantage of staggered payment options and in-house finance schemes.

• Shop houses, comprising upper floor residential accommodation and ground floor retail space continue to be a popular option for Cambodian nationals, due to their relative affordability and the option of using the unit for business purposes in addition to residential accommodation.

Housing Demand

“10,000 is the number of families from other provinces moving to Phnom

Penh every year.”

Lao Tip Seiha, director of the department of construction at the Ministry of Land Management, Urban

Planning and Construction, as quoted by the Phnom Penh Post, 2011

Therefore, housing demand is therefore estimated at a modest figure of

10,000 units every year (Phnom Penh Post, 2015).

110 is the number of registered “borey” development projects, both

complete and under construction (Ministry of Land Management, Urban

Planning and Construction, 2015).

Housing demand is also driven by a shifting trend from extended to

nuclear family and increase of newly-married couples every

year as a result of baby boom.

Residential Outlook

Residential market demand is primarily

driven by:

• especially on “borey” housing, the increase of

newly-married couples every year in

Phnom Penh

• About 10,000 new family entries into Phnom

Penh every year

• Rising of disposable income levels of

Phnom Penh Population

33

Commercial Outlook

Our projection for the long run in the commercial

real estate sector by the next 5 years will grow by

double, as bolstered by the second AEON mall in

Phnom Penh Thmey. This estimation is based on:

• Increase of establishment registrations every year, thus boosting the need for office space.

• The increase of income levels of the population

boost the need for mid-to-high-end consumer

products, thus driving retail sector.

34

External Impacts

• However, the recent crash of China’s stock market has

resulted in negative impacts on Chinese-reliant economies

in other countries, potentially including the U.S.

Serafino, Phil, 21 July 2015: China's Aftershock Ripples

Through Sales of Cognac to Ore. Bloomberg.

• This might also has a negative impact on property market

in Phnom Penh, as Chinese investments in construction is

recorded at US$1.4 billion in the first four months of

2015.

stock market crash)
