The Eco Residence is a borey-style residential community in Khan Sen Sok, Sangkat Krang Thnong, Phnom Penh. Even though people sometimes casually call every residential project a “condo,” this one is not a high-rise condominium, it’s a low-rise neighborhood made up of townhouses and shophouses in a planned layout.
At a project level, the community is built around 72 total units (a mix of townhouses and shophouses) arranged into four residential blocks: Champey, Malis, Chanthou and Rumdul.
What the homes are like
Homes here are generally designed as multi-level shophouse/townhouse units with functional separation by floor. A common layout you’ll see in this project is:
- Ground floor: parking + main living/dining + kitchen + guest toilet + service/laundry space, with a small backyard/service area depending on the unit type.
- Upper floors: bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms and a family/entertainment space (often used as a TV room, home office or flexible family area).
- Roof/attic level: typically positioned as an extra flexible space with skylight/roof features (often used as storage, a small lounge, or a rooftop hangout depending on fit-out).
Because these are shophouse-style homes, they can work for pure residential living, but many owners also use them as live-work units (for example: small office, showroom, clinic-style business, or a family business on the ground floor with living upstairs). That flexibility is one of the main “practical” differences versus a condo.
Site layout and orientation
The four-block setup isn’t just branding—units are grouped and oriented differently. In this project, the blocks are commonly described as:
- Champey: north-facing
- Malis: south-facing
- Chanthou: east & west-facing
- Rumdul: central block
Orientation matters in Phnom Penh because it changes heat gain, daylight, and airflow. If you’re comparing units, it’s worth paying attention to afternoon sun exposure (especially west-facing), and how much direct light the front façade gets.
Location and access
From the city side, access is commonly referenced via Okhna Mong Reththy St. (Street 1928) and also via Russian Federation Blvd / AH11 connections.
Sen Sok as a district is known for being more car-and-motorbike oriented, with a mix of residential neighborhoods, schools, retail, and big-box shopping areas, so the day-to-day experience here is usually about convenience and space, rather than walking to everything.
Developer and project positioning
The Eco Residence (Sen Sok) has been presented as a project under Global Construction & Cooperation Co., Ltd (GCC), following an earlier related development (“The Eco Residence 237”).
In simple terms, it’s positioned as a planned neighborhood that leans into practical design choices (light, ventilation, greenery) rather than a facilities-heavy condo tower lifestyle.
What to check before you commit
Because this is a landed/shophouse format (not strata-title condo living), your checklist should be a bit different:
- Title & boundaries: confirm the title type, lot boundaries and what’s included (roof rights, parking frontage, back garden/service strip).
- Road access & parking reality: check road width, turning space and whether street parking becomes an issue at busy hours.
- Drainage and flood history: walk the area after heavy rain if you can; ask about drainage design and maintenance responsibility.
- Rules for business use: if you plan to operate a business, confirm what’s allowed (signage, customer parking, noise rules, operating hours).
- Handover standards: get clarity on what finishes are included vs. owner fit-out (especially kitchens, bathrooms, skylight/roof details, and waterproofing).
Ownership note for foreign buyers (important)
If a buyer is a foreign national: so the buyer should plan the ownership structure carefully (leasehold, company structure, etc.) and get proper legal advice before signing.
