Phnom Penh construction update – 2022 edition

January 4, 2022 By James Clark Leave a Comment

Phnom Penh construction update - 2022 edition

Phnom Penh continues its construction boom, which has mostly been continuing despite the interruption of the pandemic. According to the Ministry of Land Management, Urban Planning and Construction (MLMUPC), Cambodia’s construction sector attracted a total investment of US$5.33 billion in 2021.

Publicised by the Ministry of Land Management, Urban Planning and Construction (MLMUPC), the report showed the nation had provided licences to 4,303 construction projects in 2021.

I was last here exactly four years ago in December 2017. I knew from that trip that there was a lot going on here, but I was still amazed at how much has happened during the intervening years.

This post is a snapshot of major construction projects in Phnom Penh in December 2021/January 2022. I keep a full archive of projects on the Future Phnom Penh page.

There is a showroom building on the riverfront (near the Wat Phnom end of the development).

Something that I have observed about the Chinese developments in Phnom Penh is that Chinese writing and branding is everywhere. This is not as apparent in Vietnam and Thailand (for example), where Chinese developments do not highlight themselves as such.
