Anata Residence is a 25-storey condominium tower in Stueng Mean Chey 1, Khan Mean Chey, just off the 271 corridor in southern Phnom Penh. It’s a mixed residential and commercial project by local developer Bun Ches Groups Co., Ltd., with 323 units built on a land plot of about 1,498 m². The project is structured as a freehold strata-title condominium and was scheduled for completion around early 2024.
The building targets the mid-market segment: compact studios, standard one-bedroom units, and larger penthouse units on the upper floors. Parking occupies the lower levels, with residential floors above and shared facilities on the upper podium and rooftop.
Location & Surroundings
Anata Residence sits in Stueng Mean Chey, a sub-district of Khan Mean Chey in the south-west of Phnom Penh. Mean Chey is generally known as a fast-developing district with a mix of local housing, boreys, and newer condo towers. It’s popular with buyers looking for more affordable prices than the inner districts, while still having access to schools, markets, hospitals and commercial areas.
From the project, residents are within a short drive of several everyday amenities. Marketing and resale listings place the building roughly 6 minutes’ drive from Midtown Mall and about 7 minutes from the New Steung Mean Chey Market, and close to local supermarkets such as Chip Mong Supermarket Sorla and Steung Meanchey Market.
More broadly, the wider Mean Chey area is connected to Samdech Techo Hun Sen Boulevard (60m Road) and a network of ring roads that link to projects like Aeon Mean Chey and ISPP International School, as well as providing routes towards the new Phnom Penh International Airport corridor.
In practical terms, this means:
- Day-to-day shopping and local markets are nearby.
- Access by car or motorbike to central districts (BKK, Daun Penh) is possible via 271 and Hun Sen Blvd, but you should still expect typical Phnom Penh traffic at peak hours.
- The immediate neighbourhood is more “local residential and mixed-use” than a central business district, with ongoing construction typical of a growing area.
Building & Design
Anata Residence is planned as a single high-rise tower:
- 25 floors above ground
- 323 units in total
- 4 passenger lifts and 2 emergency staircases
- 109 car parking spaces, spread across the ground to 4th floors, plus motorbike parking and service areas on the 5th floor
The typical ceiling height is about 2.7 m, which is standard for modern Phnom Penh condos in this price range.
Architecturally, the tower follows a contemporary style with stacked volumes and plenty of glazing. Marketing materials highlight the use of neutral colours, light wood finishes, and built-in cabinetry inside the units, aimed at a clean and practical look rather than luxury detailing.
Unit Types & Sizes
The project offers a relatively simple unit mix: studios, one-bedroom condos, and penthouses with two or three bedrooms.
Approximate layouts and size ranges are:
- Studios – around 30–31 m² net. These are open-plan units with a combined living/sleeping area, kitchenette and one bathroom.
- 1-Bedroom units – roughly 32–76 m², with a separate bedroom, living area, kitchenette and one bathroom. Some layouts include a small balcony.
- 2-Bedroom penthouses – around 135–158 m², located on the higher floors, typically with two bedrooms and three bathrooms.
- 3-Bedroom penthouses – roughly 155–186 m², three bedrooms and three bathrooms, designed as the largest residential units in the building.
- Street-level shophouses – about 107–136 m², combining a small commercial frontage with living space above.
Handover condition is usually basic or partly furnished (built-in kitchen, some fixed furniture, and finished bathrooms), rather than fully furnished packages.
Historically, marketing campaigns have quoted starting prices from around USD 40,000–45,000 for the smallest studio units, with higher pricing for larger one-bedrooms and penthouses. These numbers have varied between different sales phases and promotions (for example, discount programs for full payoff), so current prices should always be checked against up-to-date developer or agent information.
Facilities & Services
For a mid-range city condo, Anata Residence offers a fairly standard but complete set of shared facilities:
- Sky swimming pool on an upper level
- Indoor gym/fitness room
- Car and motorbike parking across several podium levels
- 24-hour security with CCTV monitoring
- Card-access control to the main entrance and elevators
- 24-hour front desk/reception in the lobby
The project’s management fee has been advertised at around USD 0.8/m² (net) per month for owner-occupiers and about USD 0.6/m² (net) for non-occupying owners, which is generally in line with other new-build mid-market condos in outer Phnom Penh districts. There is no clearly published sinking-fund contribution in some of the marketing materials, so that is something a buyer would need to confirm directly with the management or sales team.
Ownership & Legal Structure
Anata Residence is marketed as a freehold condominium under Cambodia’s strata-title framework. The title is described as freehold/strata, which allows both Cambodian citizens and eligible foreign buyers to hold individual unit titles above the ground floor, subject to national ownership quotas.
Sales information from agency partners has mentioned:
- A booking fee around USD 500
- SPA (Sale & Purchase Agreement) down-payment options starting from as low as 1% up to 100%
- Installment plans up to around 15 years, negotiated on a case-by-case basis with the developer or finance partner
These terms have varied over different sales periods and may not reflect current offers, so they should be treated as indicative only.
Neighborhood Amenities
Living in Stueng Mean Chey gives residents access to:
- Traditional markets like Steung Meanchey Market and New Steung Mean Chey Market
- Modern retail such as Midtown Mall and multiple Chip Mong supermarkets within a short drive
- An increasing number of cafés, local restaurants, clinics and pharmacies serving the surrounding boreys and condo projects
At the district level, Mean Chey also benefits from larger developments like Mean Chey Avenue, a new community mall on Hun Sen Blvd positioned as a retail and leisure hub for the area.
This combination of traditional markets and newer malls makes the area feel more “local” than downtown Phnom Penh, while still giving residents access to modern services and entertainment.
Positioning & Practical Considerations
From a practical point of view, Anata Residence can be viewed as:
- A newly completed high-rise in a growing outer-city district
- A project with small to mid-sized units that suit singles, young couples, and small families
- A building where facilities (pool, gym, parking, security) are present but not on the same scale as large integrated townships
Mean Chey’s ongoing development means there is still construction activity, evolving traffic patterns, and a mix of older and new properties in the streets around the condo. For buyers and tenants, it’s useful to physically visit at different times of day to understand noise levels, road access and the general feel of the neighbourhood.
