^^ Nice! Do you have pictures of Posco Star river?

The Star River is a bit far away, I will take pic when i pass the site next time.

Thanks for sharing photo.

I don't mean to start the floor issue again. The project said this building will have 21 floors. If you look at the floor labeled "F22: Sky Lounge", it clearly has 22 floors.

From the poster, it is 22 floors not 21. I think that should change.:)

This tower looks a lot smaller than what I imagine it to be.....

^^
Totally agree, the site looks very small.

It looks to be about 15 meters by 15 meters base. That is about the typical size for an office building.

Skyscraper nearly finished
Thursday, 26 August 2010 15:01 Soeun Say

STRUCTURAL work on the US$60 million Phnom Penh Tower will be completed next week, according to an official.

“We will complete the structure on September 2 this year. We’re now working the top floor,” said Sung Soo Kim, director of Hyundai Amco Company, the firm that is building the tower, yesterday.

The 22-storey skyscraper on the capital’s Monivong Boulevard is on course for a grand opening on April 1.

The high-rise is just one of a number of towers being constructed across Phnom Penh, and buildings such as Gold Tower 42 are taking shape nearby. Phnom Penh Tower is to host commercial office space.

Representatives from Korea’s Hyundai Amco say they have already contacted 250 potential clients.

“Around 50 percent of clients will be signing contract soon. They are international organisations,” said Sung Soo Kim, but he declined to name interested firms.

Phnom Penh Tower developers say they remain confident about the Kingdom’s real estate sector.

“ I can see that foreign direct investment, tourism, import-export is increasing together with the number of companies registered to do business here,” he said.

“Cambodia’s real estate sector is not in a downturn anymore.”

The targeted rent for the tower runs from about $20 to $40 per square metre.

Sung Bonna, president and CEO of Bonna Realty Group, said he believed that the tower was situated in the right location to attract clients.

Lao Tip Seiha, construction director at the Ministry of Land, said his department welcomed such investments.

^^ wow, they finished quick then i expected.....

^^ yes me too. SM, do youknow if insurance is an habit in Cambodia : for car, home, civil, and so one ?

No .. only the rich one can afford, even in Phnom Penh ..

Thank you SM.
It is very different from where I live. I wonder how they make in case of problem. I use my insurance a lot of time and it save me money :lol:.

^^ Wait, I thought in France they have free medical, free college, and many more. Cos my uncle live in Paris too, thats what he told me.

Yes, social security is free. It give free for 75% at 90% for medical visit and medicaments free.
Mutual insurance give you back the rest 25% or 10% to you that is not pay back by social security. But you need to pay 25eur/month.
With mutual insurance, all is free. A friend of mine ask his doctor glasses and buy Ray ban free instead lol.
Some people buy one glasses (500euro free) every year because they have good mutual.
Education is totally free until University included :-)

There are difference between free system and insurance. If you have car or appartment, you must take insurance (not free).
Because if you break another car with your car for ex. Your inssurance pay for you.
If you forget to cut off the gaz for ex. and the building burn, you have no money but insurance pay for you. But you must pay it every month.

Nothing is totaly free. :-(. But insurance give you more conveniences for your money protection :)

Phnom Penh Tower, a US$60 million 22 storey ‘skyscraper’ billed as Cambodia’s first intelligent office building is set to top-off September 2, this week.

One of several towers that are simultaneously under construction across the capital, developers are hailing these as a sign of Cambodia’s strong and resurgent property market.

Host to commercial office space, officials at Hyundai Amco Company, the firm that is building the tower, say that they have already contacted the 250 potential clients and expect 50 per cent of these to sign contracts soon.

“ I can see that foreign direct investment, tourism, import-export is increasing together with the number of companies registered to do business here,” Sung Soo Kim, Hyundai Amco Company Director, was reported as saying by the Phnom Penh Post.

“Cambodia’s real estate sector is not in a downturn anymore.”

With Cambodia’s new towers offering a mix of commercial, office and residential space, the targeted rent for the Phnom Penh Tower runs from about $20 to $40 per square metre. Its topping off also comes at a time when a larger 27 storey Canadia Tower looks to welcome businesses into its lower floors in September, with some speculating that it will be host to the Cambodia Stock Exchange, which is awaiting the completions of its own building next year.

It was a small group of meeting, MYPHNOMPENH didn't turn up and we didnt take any group photos.

But I manage to take a lot of other photos :)

Why ? Hmmm. I had so much hope to see you all. I'm disappointed.

^^ Don't worry, we will organise more meetings in the future !! :)

Why ? Hmmm. I had so much hope to see you all. I'm disappointed.

Yea... Me too.... And you too KlaKhmer... I wonder how u look?

You too LuvKhm3r, I wonder how you look ? :)

I upload my picture already.... Did u forget, or u didn't see it.... But I'll repost it when everyone is ready....:)

Yes I remember now :lol:

One question. In the last photo, the balcony seems to be not rectangle but triangle ?

it's seem the same to me...:)

^^ Yes, on the first, second and third floor.

The spaces are reserved for mini-shopping arcade :)

ohhh, now i see what we talking about....:)

Oh thank you for confirmation :)

i hope this project is not going to be on hold.....i will be piss if it is...

This project will be complete on time. Demand (from foreign companies) has been growing significantly since the beginning of this year.

The demand of office spaces in Phnom Penh (ex. OCIC Tower) has surged from 30% few months ago to 60% last month, and 20% more this month :)

Wow.. Great news... So this project is going to be finished right.... Yea.... :)

^^ 95% guarantee

:cheers: :cheers: :) thanks god......:)

:cheers: :cheers: :) thanks god......:)

Don't worry! Early this month I saw workers stick a kind of still almost around the building like they going to put the wall glass soon.

This building will be the head office of Hyundai car factory in Cambodia so that they need to finish it on time because the said factory will be start in late this year or early next year if I'm not mistaken.:)

Thats a very good news, thanks MYPHNOMPENH !! :)

Let time for Cambodia's economy to grow. And it will grow. So tower will be built but later.

I prefere to see PP beautiful with 10 or 20 towers than a city with hundred of towers without beauty.

I think everything will start to get better by 2011. The projects should start again by next year. If not, it is a shame.

^^^ PP look beautiful if it had a lot of tall skyscrapers like 50 plus high! :cheers::cheers::cheers:

Wow i really like to see Monivong boulevard again. I probably feel like not in Pp before. It change. Pp tower, goldtower 42, OCIC, de castle. some more include with many low rise building there. I think pp skyline located in Monivong boulevard and another is in riverside, river state

I totally agree with you, let p-penh growing by its own style.

A beautiful city not really depend on so many high building.

And good economic country also not depend on rich peoples who living in the city but country side peoples too.

PP need to look like New York City to be pretty! We need skyscraper like 50 floors and up! We need it now!! :cheers::cheers::cheers:

Thanks for the picture...it got really tall....:D

^^^ PP look beautiful if it had a lot of tall skyscrapers like 50 plus high! :cheers::cheers::cheers:

Some cities are too much Skyscrapers that grow everywhere. All skyscrapers looks like the same. No identity. Each tower is hidden behind several other towers. It is just a simple tower among another towers. A jungle of towers.

I hope I won't say one day. Oh this is just a tower in Phnom Penh like other towers.

^^^ PP look beautiful if it had a lot of tall skyscrapers like 50 plus high! :cheers::cheers::cheers:

its depends how towers in PP will be organized in urbanism plan of the city.

I totally agree with you, let p-penh growing by its own style.

A beautiful city not really depend on so many high building.

And good economic country also not depend on rich peoples who living in the city but country side peoples too.

Me too, I like towers, but it should be build properly in its environment.

With money
It is easy to build hundred towers.
But it is hard to build hundred towers with charm and beauty.

PP need to look like New York City to be pretty! We need skyscraper like 50 floors and up! We need it now!! :cheers::cheers::cheers:

I don't like New York scenery. It is jungle for me iven Manathan is ok.

Do you want to see PP become a Pearl or just a city with hundred of towers ? :)

The pearl of Asian....:D But it hard....people is not like they were back in the 50-60 anymore...:(

PP need to look like New York City to be pretty! We need skyscraper like 50 floors and up! We need it now!! :cheers::cheers::cheers:

Phnom Penh is not a skyscraper town , and I hope it will be never like New York so much tourist came to phnom penh to see the French colonial buildings and the beauty of Phnom Penh (Royal Palace etc)

The shops at GT42 are targeting on the wealthy consumers, but not the shops at Phnom Penh Tower.

High hopes for city's new tower

WORK on the US$60 million Phnom Penh Tower should be finished at the end of April, an official from the South Korean developer has said.

“We already completed 95 percent [of the tower],” said Hong Youvoin, Marketing Manager of Hyundai Amco Co, late last week. “We’re preparing the grand opening ceremony for the end of this month or beginning next month.”

The 22-storey skyscraper, a commercial office space set on Phnom Penh’s Monivong Boulevard, is just one of a number of towers now being constructed across the capital’s skyline. Although some – such as Gold Tower 42 – have halted construction, Phnom Penh Tower should be finished by the end of the month, according to Hong Youvoin.

He noted that since the beginning of the year demand for office space has increased, with a lot of new investors coming from Vietnam, France and South Korea.

“We have already rented 40 percent [of the building to] international firms in banking, auditing consulting, airlines, embassies and especially real estate companies,” said Hong Youvoin, who declined to name the firms for reasons of confidentiality.

Rents in the tower will average US$19 per square metre he said, adding that he hopes the tower’s occupancy rate will reach between 50 percent to 60 percent by 2012.

Sung Bonna, President and CEO of Bonna Realty Group and President of the National Valuers’ Association of Cambodia, said he believed the tower was situated in the right location to attract clients.

“In this year, we have noted that occupancy rates increased because a lot of investors came to the Kingdom,” he said.

He claimed that Cambodia’s property market in the first quarter of this year has been good compared with the same period last year, adding that there have been double the transactions since January 1.

Occupancy is at about 75 percent at the 14 Grade B buildings in the capital, according to the National Valuers’ Association. Sung Bonna said the price of rental office space in Grade A offices is between $20 and $30 per square metre, while Grade B has fetched between $10 and $20 per square metre.

There are nearly 40,000 square metres of Grade A office space in Phnom Penh, Sung Bonna said, with another 30,000 square metres expected to come on line in the next three months. Now there are 10,000 square metres of Grade B office space in the city.

Sung Bonna also said that when Cambodia’s stock exchange opens this summer it will boost demand for office space and, as a result, lift prices.

“Many investors will come to our country to invest here,” he said.

I wonder why is it such a secret for those that want to have a presence in Phnom Penh Tower? If I don't want to be known, I will hide my office somewhere else.

I guess Hyundai may take up a lot of spaces in this tower :)

Is it on all night? or just a couple of hours after dawn.

I have no idea, sometimes I went pass Monivong at around 8pm and the lights were still on ..

Monivong is still quite busy at 8pm, I would imagine if they turn it off, totally or partially, it will probably be at 10pm.

I don kno why they have car park infront of the building
http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m482/haidaline/d2716f65.jpg

This car park is invested by Malaysian Company.....it's not belong to P-Penh tower 21.

They will charge you, if you park your car on top of the drawing line.

not invested by Korean? but the tower should buy this parking space and leave it empty to create the view of the tower. i bet it is not more than 100$/month to pay to the company

It is so strange the land next to a building does not belongs to the building but a different organisation.

And what is there to invest anyway, just some bricks. How many spaces are we talking about? Is there going to have someone standing there under the sun to collect parking fees.

Does the Malaysian company even own that land, or lease form government to operate a car space business? It is very strange how land are subdivide in PP.

I also wonder.. why the p-penh official didn't made it by themself ?????

This thing also need to invested by foriegn investor lolz!!!! :lol:

I don't mind if they build car park at the under ground floor or upper floor.. but...:nuts: like this need to invest by....:bash:

Cool... Finally finished!!!!....:D

I know there is a Malaysian company invest in the carparking business in Phnom Penh. Are you sure the company also invest in this carpark spaces?

They should leave it as an empty space in front of the tower.

Absolutely yes, someone stand there to collect the fee, it look ridiculous. the company do nothing but make money easily.

^^ they use Money collection strategy? Lol why pp tower doesnt care about this? However it make customer get confused easily.

Absolutely yes, someone stand there to collect the fee, it look ridiculous. the company do nothing but make money easily.

They are not doing nothing, they do exactly that, manage car space.

Car Parking chaos is all over the places, so car park, car space management is a must. I don't think it matter who does it, or someone makes some money if they know how to do run the business.

I just find it strange a small lot of land belongs to someone else.

They should leave it as an empty space in front of the tower.

yes, but still need someone to stop people taking advantage of the free space, people will just park there especially if it does not block the road.

^^ Hyundai Amco

Did a Korean company invest in this tower? All I see are the Korean and Cambodian flags flying up there.

^^ Hyundai Amco, affiliated company of Hyundai Motor Group

then Hyundai should use those car space to show its fleet of new cars.

Hyundai announce to choose the staff now. Administrative, account, many sales position, etc :)

The interior design was ok. Judging from the look I believe this is a Grade B office building

How do you grade office building? What requirement to be class A, why some are only B, etc.

Depending on locations, size, faciltiies, use, profile of the tenants, ownership, facilities and features provided within the building.

Grade A buildings usually can attract higher rental rate than Grade B. There is one more grade above Grade A named ''Premium Grade'' :)

Is it on all night? or just a couple of hours after dawn.

We drove past at about 9:20pm, the light is not on, except for some features light in the top middle (side facing the GT) not sure about the other 3 side.

Coffee Bean in Cambodia .

Friday, 20 May 2011 15:00 Tom Brennan ..


THE first Cambodian franchise of The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf will be opened by South Korean investors later this year, according to company officials.

The inaugural location of the United States-based chain in the Kingdom would occupy 110 square metres on the ground floor of Phnom Penh Tower on Monivong Boulevard, Coffee Bean Cambodia Operations Manager Brice Smith said.

“This is the flagship store, so we want to make a big impression,” he said yesterday, adding the Phnom Penh Tower was chosen as a location for that reason.

“It’s going to be on par with what you see in the States,” he said.

Plans call for the first outlet to open September 1, though construction delays could mean it launches in October. The firm plans some 10 outlets within five years, in Phnom Penh as well as branching out to Sihanoukville and Siem Reap.

In addition to its US presence, Coffee Bean also operates stores in the Middle East and elsewhere in Asia, including a number of ASEAN countries such as Vietnam, Indonesia and the Philippines, according to the company’s website. It claims over 750 outlets worldwide.

Smith said one successful strategy used to gain a foothold in Vietnam was to create an iced coffee tailored to local tastes.

He said Coffee Bean plans to pursue a similar initiative in Cambodia, in addition to adding food items that domestic consumers will prefer.

“We’re doing a lot of market research,” he said, adding that appealing to locals is important because the business can’t depend on tourists alone.

The company is now searching for store managers, Smith said. Those who are chosen will be sent to Malaysia for training.

Coffee Bean was due to launch in Cambodia last year, though with a different franchisee.

That investor later backed out, leaving an opening for the current ownership, he said.

Coffee Bean Cambodia Chairman and CEO Damon Lee could not be reached for comment yesterday.

Ratanakiri Coffee is not a coffee shop

any ones in Siemrep? I want some true coffee when i sat and have seeing relics.

Ratanakiri Coffee is not a coffee shop

I know, but the coffee itself tastes better than the coffee from any famous coffee shop. There is no need to spend $3/cup if the local coffee tastes better.
That is what I am trying to say. I never really care about $5/cup Starbuck Coffee.

Agree, you don't need to be in a famous world known coffee shop to enjoy a good cup of coffee, you don't need to pay lots of money for a good cup of coffee.

oh cool,. i go and check in July hehe,... :cheers:

Did somebody complain about waste of power,

6:45pm, all dark, very little lights on the building.

http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/3397/260520115724.jpg

Because tenants are start moving in, dont need to turn all the lights on.

Coffee Beans and Tea Leaf is in the process of recuriting store manager and waiter/waitress, confident they'll open on time :)

Because tenants are start moving in, dont need to turn all the lights on.

the two is not related so much, if the purpose is to attract driver by's attention, then it makes sense to turn on lights every couple of floor.

obviously not those that are leased as tenants has to pay the bill.

but prehaps they just want to show off for a couple of nights that the building is complete.

This car park is invested by Malaysian Company.....it's not belong to P-Penh tower 21.

They will charge you, if you park your car on top of the drawing line.

I wonder if Malaysian company manage just that few spaces, or all the spaces in monovong (or more), because I see parking outsides all the shops looks the same along monivong (bricks used, angle of parking). So it is liklely to be paved by the same company.

the car spaces in front of building all looks the same in those area.

They occupy all Monivong boulevard, and will expand to other boulebards.

that makes more sense now. must need a hell lot of people to look after car spaces (and collect fees) for the whole street, monivong is 6km long.

everywhere else on earth, to solve parking problem in city area, we have meter parking, might be hard that we don't use coins.

I take it for you:lol:
