Kingston Royale is a mid-rise condo project in Boeung Tumpun 1, Mean Chey, just off Street 271 and Street 69BT in Phnom Penh. It’s developed by KR Kingston Royale Co., Ltd., a local developer that has already done several residential projects around the city.
Ceiling height is about 2.8m, so units feel reasonably proportioned rather than compressed.
Unit Types and Sizes
The mix is simple and easy to understand:
1-bedroom units:
- Approx. 43–55 sqm
- Suited to singles, couples, or investors looking for a compact rental unit
2-bedroom units:
- Roughly 65–85 sqm, depending on layout and stack
- Aimed at small families or sharers who want more space
Facilities and Building Features
Kingston Royale comes with the usual set of facilities you’d expect from a modern Phnom Penh condo in this price range:
Ground floor
- Lobby and reception
- Small convenience mini-mart for daily items
Fitness and wellness
- Gym / fitness center
- Sauna, steam room, and Jacuzzi
- Yoga / meditation room and other shared indoor spaces
Rooftop
- Infinity pool
- Sky garden with city views and seating areas
Parking & access
- Multiple floors of car parking plus dedicated motorbike parking
- Three lifts serving the residential floors
Security & services
- 24/7 security and CCTV
- Card-access elevators
- Fire alarm and sprinkler system standard for a new build
Typical unit features
- Air-conditioning
- Private balconies on most layouts
- Fully furnished packages offered by some sellers
- Pet-friendly policies mentioned in some marketing
Overall, the facilities are pretty typical for a mid-range city condo: not ultra-luxury, but enough for day-to-day convenience.
Location: Boeung Tumpun 1 / Street 271
The building sits in Boeung Tumpun 1, Mean Chey, near the junction of Street 271 and Street 69BT, a short drive south of the Russian Market area.
Nearby places:
- Chip Mong 271 Mega Mall: roughly 800m away
- AEON Mall Mean Chey (AEON 3): around a 10–15 minute drive, depending on traffic
- Russian Market (Tuol Tompoung): often about 5 minutes by motor in normal traffic
- Several local markets (like Boeung Tumpun Market), small supermarkets, cafés, and local restaurants
Road connections:
- Street 271 links quickly into Hun Sen Blvd (Street 60m) and other main boulevards heading to the city center and toward the new Techo International Airport corridor to the south.
- The area has several flyovers and improved junctions, but like most of Phnom Penh, peak-hour traffic can still be heavy.
Neighborhood feel:
Boeung Tumpun is a transitional area. It used to be quite local and low-rise; now you see more condos, boreys, and retail projects coming in. Prices are generally lower than in central districts like BKK1 or Tonle Bassac, which is why many younger buyers and tenants are slowly moving in. At the same time, it’s still a mixed neighborhood: local markets, small shophouses, ongoing construction, and some sections that can feel busy or a bit rough around the edges.
Like many low-lying parts of Phnom Penh, some streets in Mean Chey can be flood-prone in heavy rainy-season storms, though drainage and pumping works around the district have improved compared to a few years ago.
Who Is It For?
Kingston Royale is mainly aimed at:
- Owner-occupiers who want a condo closer to Russian Market and southern Phnom Penh but don’t want BKK1-level prices
- First-time buyers who prefer a smaller unit with modern facilities
- Investors looking at mid-priced units in a growing corridor with improving infrastructure
Rental and Investment Context
Boeung Tumpun has become a popular place to rent, especially for people who work in southern Phnom Penh or near Russian Market. Listings around the area show:
- Many 1-bedroom condos renting in roughly the $300–$400/month bracket depending on building, size, and facilities
- Some 2-bedroom units in the wider area going from about $400–$800/month
With those rent levels and Kingston Royale’s entry prices, investors generally aim for mid single-digit to higher single-digit gross yields, depending on their purchase price, fit-out cost, and how well they manage vacancy and fees.
Cambodia’s condo rules also allow foreign buyers to own strata-title units (up to 70% of the building) on upper floors, which keeps the project open to both local and overseas buyers. Local banks and some developers offer financing, but terms vary a lot by buyer profile.
Project Timeline
Kingston Royale is being sold off-plan, with handover currently targeted for late 2027. Construction is underway (around 15-20% complete) but still early, so it’s a longer-term commitment rather than a near-ready building.
Summary
Kingston Royale is a mid-range city condo in a developing part of Phnom Penh. It offers:
- Simple 1- and 2-bedroom layouts
- Reasonable prices for buyers who want to enter the condo market
- Standard modern facilities like rooftop pool, gym, and on-site parking
- A location that’s close to Russian Market, big malls, and the southern growth corridor, but still very much an “evolving” neighborhood rather than a polished city-center area.
It’s not positioned as a luxury project. The main appeal is affordability, basic comfort, and the longer-term story of the district as infrastructure and the new airport corridor continue to develop.
