Ceiling Height and Natural Light
All standard units have a 3-meter ceiling height, which, combined with large windows and balconies in many units, gives a bright and open feel. Many units have wide city views and look out over Phnom Penh’s growing skyline.
Investment Potential
Early buyers who purchased at around $140,000 during the construction phase have seen prices move up to around $180,000 and above, showing past capital growth. Rental yields on standard units are as high as 10% for early buyers, and have more generally speaking, been in the 6% – 7% per year range, depending on purchase price, rent level, and occupancy.
The fact that the building sold out quickly during launch and is now fully completed makes it suitable for buyers who want a ready-built property rather than an off-plan project.
Construction Quality and Engineering
J Tower 2 is built with reinforced concrete, steel, and glass, following engineering practices brought in from Japan. The structure is designed to handle natural forces, including earthquakes, with a focus on safety, durability, and long-term use. The developer places emphasis on build quality and creating a stable living environment for residents.
Completion Status
J Tower 2 is fully completed and has been in operation since 2022. Units are ready for move-in or rental, with no construction period or handover delay for buyers.
