The building sits on a quieter inner street not far from Monivong and Mao Tse Tung boulevards, with easy access to Russian Market, BKK1 and the main city areas.
Project Snapshot
Parc 21 is a modern, medium-sized condo tower with a relatively small number of units compared to the huge mass-market projects. It focuses more on city living and convenience rather than being a large-scale resort-style development.
Key points:
- Location: Boeung Trabek, Chamkarmon, Phnom Penh
- Scale: Around low-20s floors, with just over a hundred units in total
- Status: Fully built and operational
- Ownership: Condominium structure with strata-style ownership
- Unit mix: Studios, 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom and some duplex / penthouse layouts
Location & Neighborhood
Parc 21 is in Boeung Trabaek, a central but slightly more low-key neighborhood that sits between BKK1 and Toul Tom Poung (Russian Market).
In simple terms:
- You are close to BKK1, but not right in the middle of its busiest streets.
- Russian Market is only a short ride away, giving access to cafes, restaurants, bars and shops.
- Main roads like Monivong Boulevard and Mao Tse Tung Boulevard are nearby, so getting to the CBD, the riverside, the airport or other districts is straightforward.
The immediate area around the building is a mix of shophouses, small local businesses, low-rise homes and a growing number of newer condos. It feels more like a local residential neighborhood than a tourist area, which some people prefer if they want a “normal city” environment rather than a nightlife zone.
Building Profile & Unit Types
Parc 21 is a single tower with a compact footprint. It’s tall enough to give city views from the mid and upper floors, but not so big that it feels crowded.
The building includes:
- Smaller units such as studios and compact 1-bedrooms, generally suited to singles or couples
- Standard 1-bedrooms with a more typical separation between living area and bedroom
- 2-bedroom units that work for small families, sharers or people who want more space
- A limited number of penthouse or duplex-type units on the upper levels with higher ceilings or split-level layouts
Overall, units are designed for practical, everyday city living. They are not huge, but they make decent use of space and usually come with a balcony, basic built-in kitchen, fitted bathroom and air-conditioning.
Facilities & Services
Most of the shared facilities are located on the upper floors, so residents can enjoy city views rather than just looking at a car park or street.
Facilities typically include:
- Rooftop or high-floor swimming pool
- Gym / fitness room
- Lounge or sky terrace area for relaxing or socialising
- Ground-floor lobby and reception
- Car and motorbike parking
There is on-site security, CCTV and standard fire-safety systems, plus a management office to handle building operations. Because part of the property operates in a serviced-apartment or hotel-style model, there are also services like housekeeping available for some units, depending on the arrangement.
Inside the Units: Layout & Feel
Unit layouts at Parc 21 are fairly straightforward and modern. The general feel is more “practical city condo” than luxury penthouse.
Common features include:
- Open-plan living and dining area, often combined with a compact kitchen along one wall
- Bedroom separated from the living area in the 1- and 2-bedroom units
- Private balcony with sliding doors, bringing in natural light and ventilation
- Fitted bathroom with standard fixtures and hot water
- Air-conditioning units for the living room and bedroom
- Space for a washing machine, usually in the kitchen area or on the balcony
Some of the upper-floor units and duplex types offer higher ceilings, extra windows and larger terraces or balconies, which gives them a different feel compared with the more standard units.
Access, Daily Convenience & Nearby Amenities
One of the main advantages of Parc 21 is its access to everyday services and city amenities.
From the building, you can reach:
- Russian Market / Toul Tom Poung for food, cafes, bars and everyday shopping
- BKK1 for international restaurants, coffee shops, co-working spaces and offices
- AEON Mall 1, NagaWorld and other city landmarks within a short drive, depending on traffic
- A range of clinics, hospitals, local markets, mini-marts and pharmacies within a few minutes
The nearby main roads connect quickly to other parts of Phnom Penh. At the same time, being on a smaller inner street means the immediate surroundings are generally calmer than a main boulevard, though you still have typical city noise and activity.
Ownership, Management & Running Costs
Parc 21 is set up as a condominium, with individual units held under separate ownership within the building’s overall structure. Foreigners are typically able to buy units on the upper floors within the usual foreign quota rules for Cambodian condos.
Running costs usually include:
- A monthly management fee based on the size of the unit
- Utility charges for electricity and water
- Optional parking fees for cars, depending on availability
These fees cover building operations, cleaning of common areas, security, use of the facilities and general maintenance. Exact rates can vary by unit and over time, so anyone seriously considering a purchase or rental should confirm the latest numbers with the building management or the agent handling the unit.
Who Parc 21 Tends to Suit
Looking at its size, layout and location, Parc 21 tends to appeal to a few main groups:
- Singles and couples who want to live close to BKK1 and Russian Market, but not in the middle of the busiest streets
- Medium-stay expats and professionals who prefer a condo with a pool and gym, plus optional serviced-apartment style services
- Investors who focus on rental units for expat tenants, NGO workers, local professionals and people connected to nearby offices, schools or embassies
The main trade-offs to keep in mind are:
- Unit sizes are on the compact side, especially for studios and smaller 1-beds
- The neighborhood is still developing, with ongoing construction and typical Phnom Penh traffic on nearby main roads
- The building has a mix of long-term residents and shorter-stay guests, which creates a more dynamic atmosphere than a purely owner-occupied building
