Full Project Guide

De Castle Noblesse is a mid- to upper-mid range condominium tower in Boeng Kak 1, Khan Toul Kork, on Street 337 in northern Phnom Penh. It’s part of the “De Castle” family of condos that helped make Toul Kork a popular residential district for both local and foreign buyers. The project is a single 15-storey tower with around 88 units in total, so it feels more like a compact residence than a mega-development.

The building is fully completed and operating as a lived-in condo, with a mix of owner-occupiers and long-term tenants. Most resale and rental listings today describe it as “ready to move in” with existing fit-out and furniture already in place.

The immediate area is a mix of low-rise shophouses, villas and other condo buildings, along a fairly busy local street grid. Street 337 connects easily to the main TK arteries, so you’re not far from daily amenities.

Approximate travel times are:

About 1 minute to TK Avenue lifestyle mall

Around 3 minutes to the Institute of Technology of Cambodia

Roughly 5 minutes’ drive to AEON Mall 2 and Makro

Within 5–10 minutes of several international schools, cafes, restaurants and banks

Toul Kork as a whole has grown into a self-contained secondary city centre, so residents can access supermarkets, coffee chains, international schools and clinics without needing to drive into BKK1 or Riverside every day. At the same time, central Phnom Penh and the traditional CBD are still reachable by car or tuk-tuk, depending on traffic.

Building profile

Available project data shows that De Castle Noblesse:

Is a single condo tower with 15 floors

Contains around 88 residential units

Was developed by the De Castle group, the same brand behind De Castle Royal (BKK1) and De Castle Toul Kork, which are known mid- to upper-mid tier condos in Phnom Penh

The overall design is a straightforward high-rise with balconies on most units and ground-floor lobby and parking access. Compared to newer large-scale mixed-use projects, Noblesse is relatively modest in height and footprint, which some residents prefer for a quieter, less “mall-like” environment.

Unit layouts and typical sizes

De Castle Noblesse was clearly planned with families and long-term residents in mind.

3-bedroom condos of about 140–160 sqm (net)

4-bedroom units in the 200–210 sqm range

A few larger, higher-floor units going up towards 280 sqm

Typical layouts include a combined living–dining area, a separate kitchen (often enclosed), 3 or more bathrooms, one or more balconies and sometimes a small storage or maid’s room. The large floor areas compared to many newer Phnom Penh condos make the building attractive for families who want more internal space and full-size bedrooms.

Interior condition varies by unit, as many have already been lived in. Some listings highlight upgraded kitchens, new flooring or modern furniture, while others retain older fit-out.

Facilities and services

Across multiple sale and rental advertisements, the core shared facilities at De Castle Noblesse include:

Swimming pool

Fitness centre / gym

24-hour security and reception

Secure parking (usually one car space included for owners or long-term tenants)

Common garden or rooftop relaxation area

Common-area management fees are typically bundled into rental prices, as well as management fee promotions or lease-back options for investors. Exact CAM fees fall into the normal Phnom Penh condo range, paid monthly by owners for building upkeep.

Day-to-day living experience

Reviews and commentary on De Castle Noblesse are mixed, which is normal for an older condominium. On the positive side, residents have praised:

The spacious layouts and family-friendly unit sizes

Convenient location in Toul Kork near malls, schools and supermarkets

The general practicality of having pool, gym and secure parking in one building

At the same time, the building is ageing, and some units show wear and tear such as musty smells, air-conditioning leaks, pest issues, wiring problems and slow or inconsistent maintenance response from management.

These comments don’t apply to every unit, but they are a reminder that:

Condition can vary a lot from one apartment to another depending on renovation history and owner upkeep.

Buyers and tenants should pay attention to ventilation, plumbing, electrical fit-out and general maintenance when viewing.

It’s worth asking clearly how management handles repairs, what is covered by the building versus the owner, and what recent upgrades (if any) have been done to common areas.

Overall, De Castle Noblesse feels like an established, lived-in family condo rather than a brand-new, high-gloss tower. For some people, that’s a plus (mature community, realistic pricing); for others, newer stock may feel more attractive.

Market positioning and pricing context

This places the project below the price levels of newer “prime” CBD and riverfront condos, but still above basic low-rise apartments. That mid-range position matches its product: large, functional units with full facilities in a non-CBD but increasingly central district.

Rental listings show fully furnished three and four bedroom units targeted at families, professionals sharing, or longer-term expats who want more space than the typical 50–70 sqm one-bedroom.

Who De Castle Noblesse suits

Putting all of this together, De Castle Noblesse is best understood as:

A mid- to upper-mid tier, family-oriented condo in Toul Kork

With larger-than-average three- and four-bedroom layouts

In a convenient Boeng Kak 1 location close to TK Avenue, AEON Mall 2, schools and supermarkets

Offering standard condo facilities (pool, gym, security, parking), but with building age and maintenance quality that should be checked carefully on-site.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can foreigners own condos in Cambodia?

Yes. Foreigners can legally own condominiums in Cambodia in their own name under a strata title structure. This was made possible by the 2010 foreign ownership law, which allows legally qualified foreigners to own private units in registered co-owned buildings.

There are a few conditions. You can only own units from the first floor and above. Ground floor and basement levels are reserved for Cambodian ownership. Foreign ownership in any single building is capped at 70% of the total private unit area. And the building itself needs to be properly registered as a co-owned building with strata titles issued.

Strata title is the strongest form of property ownership available to foreigners in Cambodia. It gives you full ownership rights, the ability to sell or transfer the unit, and succession rights so the unit can pass to your heirs. If you’d like to understand the legal framework in more detail, feel free to contact our team.

What is a strata title, and how is it different from other property titles?

Cambodia has three main types of property title: soft title, hard title, and strata title.

A soft title is locally registered proof of possession, but it’s not full national-level ownership. It carries higher risk, especially for foreigners.

A hard title is ownership registered in Cambodia’s national cadastral system. This is the strongest form of land ownership, but foreigners cannot hold hard titles for land or landed property.

A strata title is essentially a hard-title-style ownership certificate designed specifically for individual condo units within a co-owned building. It separates ownership of your unit from the land the building sits on, which is what makes foreign ownership possible. Your name goes on the title, and it’s recorded in the national system.

For foreign buyers, strata title is the only property ownership structure where you hold the title directly in your own name with full legal protection.

What does "off-plan" property mean?

Off-plan means the building is either not yet under construction or is currently being built. You’re purchasing a unit before the project is completed, usually at a lower price than what the same unit would cost after handover.

Off-plan purchases in Cambodia typically follow a structured payment plan: you pay a deposit (usually 10% to 30%), then make regular installments during the construction period (commonly around 1% of the purchase price per month), and pay the remaining balance at handover when the building is complete.

The advantage is that you spread payments over the construction period rather than paying everything upfront. The trade-off is that you’re committing to a project that won’t be finished for two to four years, so the developer’s track record and the project’s fundamentals matter.

How do payment plans work for off-plan condos in Cambodia?

The standard structure for most off-plan condo projects in Cambodia looks something like this:

A booking fee of $1,000 to $3,000 to reserve the unit. Then a deposit of 10% to 30% when you sign the Sales and Purchase Agreement (SPA). After that, monthly or quarterly installments during construction — often around 1% of the purchase price per month. Finally, the remaining balance (typically 30% to 50%) is due at handover when the building is complete.

The exact split varies between developers and projects, and everything is laid out in the SPA before you commit. Some developers also offer post-handover financing at around 8% to 12% interest if you don’t want to pay the full balance in one lump sum at completion.

One thing to note: some buyers choose to send payments quarterly or semi-annually rather than monthly to reduce bank transfer costs. We help our buyers plan this out based on their situation.

What are the costs of owning a condo in Cambodia?

Cambodia has relatively low ongoing ownership costs compared to most Western markets. The main recurring costs are:

Monthly management fees, which typically range from about $0.80 to $1.50 per square metre depending on the building. Most projects fall around $1.00 per square metre. So for a 50 sqm one-bedroom unit, you’d pay roughly $50 per month.

Annual property tax, which is 0.1% of the taxable base. The taxable base is 80% of the property value, and there’s a deduction of $25,000 before the tax applies. In practice, for a standard one-bedroom condo, this usually works out to under $100 per year for most condos.

Fire insurance is optional but recommended, particularly for remote owners. Annual premiums are typically under $100 for a standard unit.

There’s no recurring stamp duty, no council rates, and no land tax on strata-titled condos. The gap between gross and net rental yield is smaller here than in many other markets, which is one of the reasons Cambodia is attractive to foreign investors.

What are the typical rental yields in Cambodia?

On well-selected properties in Phnom Penh, gross rental yields of approximately 7.5% to 9% are achievable. Some entry-level units in strong rental locations can push higher, but those headline figures depend on the purchase price, the building’s quality, its management, and the rental market at the time.

Because Cambodia’s ongoing ownership costs are relatively low (no high property taxes, modest management fees) the gap between gross and net yield is smaller than in many Western markets.

Rental performance varies between projects and locations. Not every unit achieves the same return, and factors like building management, tenant demand in the area, and the overall quality of the product all play a role. We provide honest, project-specific rental estimates for every project we work with, based on what we’re actually seeing in the market.

Can I buy a condo in Cambodia remotely?

Yes. Over half of our buyers purchase from outside Cambodia without visiting in person. The entire process — from choosing a project to signing the contract, making payments, handling handover, and transferring the title — can be managed remotely.

For contract signing, we walk you through the SPA via video call, show you exactly where to sign and initial on each page, and arrange courier shipping for the original documents. For handover, we can act on your behalf with a Power of Attorney.

Remote buying does require a good agent on the ground. Documents need to be executed correctly (Cambodia has specific requirements around ink color, thumbprints, and stamps), payments need to be tracked, and there’s a lot of coordination with developers, legal teams, and government offices that happens behind the scenes. This is a core part of what we do for our buyers.

What happens after I buy? What support do you provide?

This is where we focus most of our effort. We believe roughly 80% of the real work happens after the sale, not before.

For off-plan purchases, we provide ongoing construction updates, payment reminders, and direct communication with the developer throughout the build period. When the project reaches handover, we manage the full handover process — inspections, document preparation, and coordination with the developer.

After handover, we assist with title transfer (including all the paperwork, tax payments, and land office coordination), furniture and setup if needed, tenant placement through our network of 100+ agents across Phnom Penh, and ongoing property management.

For resale support, we help with pricing, marketing, buyer negotiations, and the full transfer process. Our role doesn’t end at the sale and we work towards developing long-term relationships with our clients.

How does the title transfer process work, and what does it cost?

Once your condo is paid for and ready to be registered in your name, the title transfer involves two main costs:

The transfer tax (stamp duty), which is 4% of the property value. This is a government tax and is typically the buyer’s responsibility. There are temporary exemptions available for qualifying purchases, but eligibility isn’t automatic and can vary between districts. Check with us before assuming any exemption applies.

Administrative and processing fees for the actual title registration, document handling, and land office procedures. These typically run around $1,500 to $1,800 through our network.

The standard processing timeline is approximately 3 months. Express processing is available at a higher cost, which can bring it down to around 1 month.

If you’re outside Cambodia, we handle the coordination — document shipping, Power of Attorney where needed, and working with the relevant offices to get the title issued in your name.

Do I need an agent to buy a condo in Cambodia?

You don’t have to use an agent. You can walk into a developer’s sales gallery and buy directly. But here’s the important thing: the price is the same whether you buy through an agency or directly from the developer. Developers sign agency agreements that prevent them from undercutting the agencies they work with, so you won’t get a cheaper deal by going direct.

The real question is what happens beyond the purchase itself. This includes contract review, payment tracking, construction updates, handover management, title transfer, furnishing, rental placement, and long-term support. These are the stages where having an experienced agent on the ground makes a practical difference, especially if you’re buying from outside Cambodia.

We also sometimes negotiate extras that aren’t available from the standard price list — additional discounts, furniture packages, free appliances, or other add-ons depending on what the developer is offering at the time.
