Grand Condo 7 is a mid-sized condominium building in the Chroy Changvar area, set close to the riverside and designed for people who want a modern apartment lifestyle on the “other side of the river” while still keeping downtown within easy reach. The building is around 23 storeys / 24 floors (counting can vary depending on whether podium/roof levels are included), with 135 total units, and it’s generally considered a newer project, completed around January 2023.
What the building is like
This is a straightforward condo setup: a residential tower with shared facilities, staffed lobby-style services, and the usual security and building management structure you’d expect in Phnom Penh condos. The location is positioned to take advantage of river + skyline views, and the building is roughly 3 km from the Cambodia–Japan Friendship Bridge, which is one of the main links into central Phnom Penh from Chroy Changvar.
Facilities you can expect
Grand Condo 7 is planned around “sky-level” amenities (rooftop-style facilities) and practical daily conveniences. Facilities commonly associated with the building include:
- Swimming pool (often described as a sky/rooftop pool)
- Gym
- Sky bar / rooftop hangout area
- Reception / lobby
- Parking
- 24-hour security + CCTV
- Fire safety systems
(As always in Phnom Penh, the exact access rules—like pool hours, guest policy, and whether some areas are residents-only—depend on building management at the time you move in.)
Unit types and sizing (how to think about the layouts)
Most buyers and tenants look at Grand Condo 7 for compact-to-mid-size apartments, plus a few larger options. Typical size bands you’ll see:
- Studio: roughly 39–40 sqm
- 2-bedroom: roughly 91–129 sqm
- Large 3-bedroom / penthouse-style up to around 472 sqm
In practical terms, studios here are usually best for single living or a couple who wants something simple, while the 2-bed layouts fit small families, roommates, or people who want a dedicated office. The larger penthouse-style sizes are a totally different category—more like a statement home than a typical “condo unit.”
The location and day-to-day lifestyle (Chroy Changvar)
The Chroy Changvar district, an area that’s known for being calmer than the city center, with more open road sections and a growing number of new condo projects. Many residents choose this side for the quieter feel and river atmosphere, while still commuting into Daun Penh / BKK areas for work or school.
The trade-off is simple: you often get more space (or better views) for the money compared with prime central districts, but your daily routine depends more on bridge traffic patterns and your exact commute times.
Ownership, management, and the “real world” costs to plan for
Grand Condo 7 is generally treated as a freehold condo project in the market, and day-to-day living will include the usual building rules plus recurring fees (management/service charge, utilities, and any parking fees if applicable). Before you commit, it’s smart to confirm:
- What exactly the monthly management fee covers (pool/gym access, security, common-area cleaning, etc.)
- Parking rules and cost (car vs motorbike, assigned vs first-come)
- Whether your unit is being transferred with the correct ownership paperwork for a condo sale (and whether there are any unpaid fees tied to the unit)
Who this condo tends to suit
Grand Condo 7 is usually a good match if you want:
- A condo lifestyle with rooftop-style amenities
- River/skyline exposure without paying central-district pricing
- A building that works for both living and rental-style demand (studios and 2-beds are typically the easiest to rent in Phnom Penh, depending on price and furnishing)
If you’re highly sensitive to commute time, noise from main roads, or you need to be walking distance to central offices/schools, you’ll want to compare your daily routes carefully before deciding.
Quick checklist when viewing a unit here
- Stand on the balcony/windows and check view + sun direction + noise
- Test water pressure, hot water, and AC drainage
- Ask about internet options available in the building
- Confirm what’s included: furniture list, appliances, and any exclusions
- Verify building access rules (pets, short-term stays, visitor policy)
If you want, paste me any unit details you have (floor, size, view direction, furnished/unfurnished), and I’ll rewrite this into a version that’s tailored to that specific unit while staying neutral and educational.
