Picasso City Garden is a high-rise condominium tower in BKK1, Phnom Penh’s most central and established residential area. The project sits in Khan Boeng Keng Kang, Sangkat BKK 1, surrounded by mid- to high-rise apartments, cafés, offices and small streets of low-rise housing. It was developed by Global Titan Stone Real Estate Development / Picasso City Garden Development Plc as a branded residential tower built around an art and “Picasso” theme.
The building is a 30-storey, 110-metre tower with 144 freehold condominium units. It was launched in the late 2010s and completed in 2021. Units range from one to five bedrooms, with indicative net areas from about 55 sqm up to around 300 sqm for larger and duplex layouts.
Location and surroundings
Picasso City Garden is located in BKK1, a compact, walkable part of Chamkarmon district that has become one of Phnom Penh’s main expat and upper-middle-income residential hubs. BKK1 is often described as a “foreign quarter” or expat haven, with a heavy concentration of serviced apartments, embassies, NGOs, cafés, international restaurants and boutique retail.
The tower sits within the inner grid of BKK1, with relatively direct access to major roads like Norodom Boulevard and Monivong Boulevard, and from there to the CBD, riverside area, and other city districts. Residents can typically reach supermarkets, gyms, international schools, clinics, banks and coffee shops on foot or within a short drive, which is a key reason this area has a stable rental market and ongoing demand from both local and foreign residents.
Building design and concept
Architecturally, Picasso City Garden is designed as a vertical tower with staggered balconies and greenery, giving it a layered façade that stands out among neighboring buildings. The concept is marketed as “Naga and Picasso’s Cubism,” combining a modern interpretation of the naga motif (a traditional serpent symbol in Khmer culture) with geometric, cubist-inspired forms.
The developer emphasizes an “art-inspired” identity, with the building positioned as one of the few projects in Asia with official authorization from the Picasso family to use aspects of his artistic legacy in branding and interior concept. Common areas such as the lobby, function rooms and selected facilities are fitted out with large-scale art pieces and design elements that follow this theme.
The structure uses a diaphragm wall foundation system, which is common in high-rise construction in dense inner-city locations to control settlement and allow for deeper basements.
Units and layouts
Picasso City Garden contains around 144 condominium units across its 30 floors, with a mix that includes one-, two-, three-, four- and five-bedroom apartments, plus larger duplex or penthouse configurations:
- One-bedroom units from roughly 55 sqm
- Mid-size two- and three-bedroom units in the ~90–150 sqm range
- Larger four- and five-bedroom or duplex units going up to around 300+ sqm, mostly on higher floors
Units are generally laid out with open-plan living and dining areas, balconies, and enclosed kitchens. Higher-end units and penthouses tend to feature double-height living spaces, larger terraces and multiple balconies, giving wide city views over BKK1 and central Phnom Penh.
Finishes include tiled floors, built-in cabinetry, fitted kitchens with ovens, and integrated air-conditioning. Many units on the sales and rental market are offered fully or semi-furnished, but actual specifications vary by owner and management arrangement rather than being completely standard across the building.
Facilities and services
Picasso City Garden is positioned as a full-service condominium with a relatively comprehensive facility stack for a single-tower project, including:
- Outdoor or semi-indoor swimming pool, described as an infinity-edge pool
- Children’s pool
- Fitness centre / gym
- Sky garden or rooftop landscaped areas
- Banquet hall and meeting/function rooms
- Sky bar or lounge area
- Business centre and co-working or office-style spaces
- Casa Picasso restaurant and café space within the building
- Art auction gallery / art exhibition area integrated into the common spaces
In addition to physical facilities, the building promotes a relatively service-heavy model. There’s 24-hour reception and security, housekeeping options, laundry services, concierge-style assistance, and, in some cases, value-add services such as airport transfers, tour support, and translation or business assistance.
Property management is handled by the developer’s affiliated management arm. The project has been promoted as receiving recognition for “premium property management service” and reports relatively high occupancy rates since completion, although exact occupancy figures are not independently verified.
Ownership, management and positioning
Picasso City Garden is structured as a freehold condominium project, meaning individual units can be purchased and held on a strata title basis subject to Cambodia’s standard condo ownership rules (including foreign ownership limits by floor/building). The development company, founded in 2016 and based in Phnom Penh, also undertakes ongoing commercial operations and branded property management for the building.
The project is marketed as an “art-inspired” landmark tower targeting both owner-occupiers and investors, with a focus on its BKK1 location, branding, and managed-service model. In recent years the development entity has pursued listing on the Cambodia Securities Exchange’s growth board, which is mainly relevant for those interested in the developer’s corporate profile rather than day-to-day living in the building.
Who this building typically suits
Because of its location and service level, Picasso City Garden tends to appeal to residents who want to be in the middle of BKK1’s activity, with easy access to cafés, restaurants, embassies and offices, and who are comfortable in a branded, high-rise condominium environment. The tower’s mix of smaller one-bedroom units and larger family-size or duplex units makes it flexible for singles, couples and larger households, while the on-site services and amenities lean toward a hotel-style or serviced-apartment feel rather than a purely bare residential block.
