Full Project Guide
Flora Suites is a high-rise condominium and serviced residence in Boeng Keng Kang 1 (BKK1), one of Phnom Penh’s most central and established residential districts. The project sits at the corner of Street 71 and Street 392 in Khan Boeng Keng Kang, right in the middle of the “golden” BKK1 area that has grown into a key hub for embassies, offices, cafés and serviced apartments.
Flora Suites is positioned as an upper-end, hotel-style condominium developed by The Flora Group, a Cambodian developer that first became known for Borey and landed housing projects before moving into vertical condos.
The building is a 38-storey tower with around 167 residential units, mostly one- and two-bedroom apartments ranging from roughly the high-30s to around 160+ sqm.
Construction was scheduled to begin around mid-2020 and market reports listed The Flora Suites as due around 2024. As of Jan 2026, the condo is being treated as near completed and almost operational, so we consider it in it's final construction stages.
Location and neighbourhood
Flora Suites is in BKK1, which is consistently is one of Phnom Penh’s most prestigious and desirable neighborhoods, and is generally perceived this way on the ground here. It’s popular with expatriates, senior professionals and higher-income local households because of its central position, walkability and concentration of high-end amenities.
From the project location:
- AEON Mall 1 is roughly 1.5 km away, or about a 5–10 minute drive depending on traffic.
- Phnom Penh International Airport is about 16–17 km away, with drive times that can vary significantly with congestion.
The immediate surroundings include a dense mix of serviced apartments, branded condos, cafés, restaurants, small supermarkets, clinics, gyms, international schools, NGOs and embassies. For day-to-day living, most typical errands (groceries, coffee, basic services) can be done within a short walk or a few minutes by tuk-tuk.
Building profile and design
Flora Suites is described as:
- A high-rise tower of 38 floors, with a built-up area of around 19,800–20,000 sqm.
- A mixed condo–hospitality complex, physically paired with a separate but closely linked Mercure-branded 4-star hotel developed in partnership with Accor.
- A “five-star” or hotel-standard residential concept, with emphasis on lobby design, security and amenities.
Architecturally, the building uses a modern glass-and-concrete façade with strong vertical lines and a podium-plus-tower configuration. A blend of “European” styling with some local design elements, plus a heavy use of light-coloured materials and marble-type finishes in the interiors.
Unit mix and layouts
Flora Suites as focuses on compact to mid-sized units, rather than large family apartments:
- 1-bedroom unitsTypically around 37–49+ sqm. Layouts usually include an open-plan living and kitchen area, one bathroom and a small balcony.
- 2-bedroom units: Around 80–85 sqm and upwards. Usually designed with a shared living/dining area, two bathrooms and at least one balcony.
- Penthouse and larger configurations: Penthouses and larger 2-bedroom configurations up to around 160–167 sqm, although these are fewer in number and tend to be on higher floors.
The finishes include tiled floors, fitted kitchens, built-in lighting, air-conditioning, and modern bathrooms; many resale units are offered fully furnished.
There is no strong evidence of studio-only floors or very large 3-bedroom “family” units; the scheme is primarily one- and two-bedroom stock, which matches its positioning towards singles, couples and small households.
Amenities and shared spaces
Flora Suites is designed with a fairly extensive amenities stack, especially considering the project’s footprint:
- A sky pool on an upper level, promoted as an infinity-style pool with city views.
- A fitness club/gym, including both conventional equipment and a “virtual fitness” or simulation-based fitness room.
- Spa, steam and sauna facilities.
- A yoga studio.
- A children’s play area / indoor kids’ zone (mid-level amenity floor).
- A sky club / sky lounge with restaurant, café, bar and meeting spaces on one of the top floors.
- Lobby/reception and car parking, with some marketing referring to a “smart parking” system.
Hotel component and management
One of the distinctive aspects of Flora Suites is its partnership with Accor’s Mercure brand:
- Flora Suites is promoted as being developed by The Flora and managed or serviced in conjunction with Mercure Hotel Phnom Penh BKK1, which is a separate 4-star, 36-storey hotel project planned to open around 2027 with roughly 200 rooms.
- Flora Suites is a residence “managed by Accor’s Mercure Hotel” and offering hotel-style services to condo residents.
- The condo and hotel towers are designed to complement each other, with residents able to order food, drinks and other services directly from the Mercure hotel rather than going out, depending on the eventual service packages.
From a practical point of view, this means buyers and tenants should expect:
- A more “hospitality-style” operation in common areas (front desk, security, guest handling).
- Potential access to hotel F&B, spa and other services, though the exact terms (discounts, membership, pay-per-use) are governed by management policy and may change over time.
- Service charges that may be higher than in a simple, non-hotel-linked condo, reflecting the level of staffing and facilities.
Surrounding market context
BKK1 has been highlighted in local media and market reports as one of the main clusters for new condos, serviced apartments and upscale hotels in Phnom Penh. Recent commentary points to the area as a hotspot that continues to attract branded hotel projects (including Mercure) and high-rise residential schemes like Flora Suites, Time Square 306 and others.
For an owner or tenant, the key implications are:
- Strong competition from other high-rise projects, but also
- A relatively deep pool of expatriate and higher-income local tenants who focus on BKK1 because of its convenience and established reputation.
Who Flora Suites tends to suit
Based on its unit mix, services and location, Flora Suites is generally suited to:
- Single professionals or couples wanting a compact, modern apartment in BKK1 with strong amenities.
- Small households or “lock-up-and-leave” owners who value hotel-style services and proximity to cafés, schools and offices.
- Investors targeting the expatriate rental market in BKK1, especially those who see value in a condo that is closely integrated with an international hotel brand.
At the same time, buyers looking for large three- or four-bedroom family apartments, big private gardens or very low-density living might find Flora Suites less aligned with their needs, given the high-rise format and focus on smaller units.
Points for buyers and tenants to confirm
Because Flora Suites is part of a relatively complex condo-plus-hotel ecosystem, a practical checklist for a serious buyer or long-term tenant would include:
- The exact unit count and floor numbering for their stack (as the scheme evolved from earlier design plans).
- Current management arrangements between The Flora and Mercure/Accor, including which services are standard vs. optional.
- Up-to-date service charges, sinking fund contributions and any hotel-related fees.
- The mix of owner-occupiers vs. short-term or hotel-linked stays in the building, as that can affect noise, lobby traffic and overall feel.
Taken together, Flora Suites is best understood as a BKK1 condo that tries to bridge residential living and hotel-style hospitality.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can foreigners own condos in Cambodia?
Yes. Foreigners can legally own condominiums in Cambodia in their own name under a strata title structure. This was made possible by the 2010 foreign ownership law, which allows legally qualified foreigners to own private units in registered co-owned buildings.
There are a few conditions. You can only own units from the first floor and above. Ground floor and basement levels are reserved for Cambodian ownership. Foreign ownership in any single building is capped at 70% of the total private unit area. And the building itself needs to be properly registered as a co-owned building with strata titles issued.
Strata title is the strongest form of property ownership available to foreigners in Cambodia. It gives you full ownership rights, the ability to sell or transfer the unit, and succession rights so the unit can pass to your heirs. If you’d like to understand the legal framework in more detail, feel free to contact our team.
What is a strata title, and how is it different from other property titles?
Cambodia has three main types of property title: soft title, hard title, and strata title.
A soft title is locally registered proof of possession, but it’s not full national-level ownership. It carries higher risk, especially for foreigners.
A hard title is ownership registered in Cambodia’s national cadastral system. This is the strongest form of land ownership, but foreigners cannot hold hard titles for land or landed property.
A strata title is essentially a hard-title-style ownership certificate designed specifically for individual condo units within a co-owned building. It separates ownership of your unit from the land the building sits on, which is what makes foreign ownership possible. Your name goes on the title, and it’s recorded in the national system.
For foreign buyers, strata title is the only property ownership structure where you hold the title directly in your own name with full legal protection.
What does "off-plan" property mean?
Off-plan means the building is either not yet under construction or is currently being built. You’re purchasing a unit before the project is completed, usually at a lower price than what the same unit would cost after handover.
Off-plan purchases in Cambodia typically follow a structured payment plan: you pay a deposit (usually 10% to 30%), then make regular installments during the construction period (commonly around 1% of the purchase price per month), and pay the remaining balance at handover when the building is complete.
The advantage is that you spread payments over the construction period rather than paying everything upfront. The trade-off is that you’re committing to a project that won’t be finished for two to four years, so the developer’s track record and the project’s fundamentals matter.
How do payment plans work for off-plan condos in Cambodia?
The standard structure for most off-plan condo projects in Cambodia looks something like this:
A booking fee of $1,000 to $3,000 to reserve the unit. Then a deposit of 10% to 30% when you sign the Sales and Purchase Agreement (SPA). After that, monthly or quarterly installments during construction — often around 1% of the purchase price per month. Finally, the remaining balance (typically 30% to 50%) is due at handover when the building is complete.
The exact split varies between developers and projects, and everything is laid out in the SPA before you commit. Some developers also offer post-handover financing at around 8% to 12% interest if you don’t want to pay the full balance in one lump sum at completion.
One thing to note: some buyers choose to send payments quarterly or semi-annually rather than monthly to reduce bank transfer costs. We help our buyers plan this out based on their situation.
What are the costs of owning a condo in Cambodia?
Cambodia has relatively low ongoing ownership costs compared to most Western markets. The main recurring costs are:
Monthly management fees, which typically range from about $0.80 to $1.50 per square metre depending on the building. Most projects fall around $1.00 per square metre. So for a 50 sqm one-bedroom unit, you’d pay roughly $50 per month.
Annual property tax, which is 0.1% of the taxable base. The taxable base is 80% of the property value, and there’s a deduction of $25,000 before the tax applies. In practice, for a standard one-bedroom condo, this usually works out to under $100 per year for most condos.
Fire insurance is optional but recommended, particularly for remote owners. Annual premiums are typically under $100 for a standard unit.
There’s no recurring stamp duty, no council rates, and no land tax on strata-titled condos. The gap between gross and net rental yield is smaller here than in many other markets, which is one of the reasons Cambodia is attractive to foreign investors.
What are the typical rental yields in Cambodia?
On well-selected properties in Phnom Penh, gross rental yields of approximately 7.5% to 9% are achievable. Some entry-level units in strong rental locations can push higher, but those headline figures depend on the purchase price, the building’s quality, its management, and the rental market at the time.
Because Cambodia’s ongoing ownership costs are relatively low (no high property taxes, modest management fees) the gap between gross and net yield is smaller than in many Western markets.
Rental performance varies between projects and locations. Not every unit achieves the same return, and factors like building management, tenant demand in the area, and the overall quality of the product all play a role. We provide honest, project-specific rental estimates for every project we work with, based on what we’re actually seeing in the market.
Can I buy a condo in Cambodia remotely?
Yes. Over half of our buyers purchase from outside Cambodia without visiting in person. The entire process — from choosing a project to signing the contract, making payments, handling handover, and transferring the title — can be managed remotely.
For contract signing, we walk you through the SPA via video call, show you exactly where to sign and initial on each page, and arrange courier shipping for the original documents. For handover, we can act on your behalf with a Power of Attorney.
Remote buying does require a good agent on the ground. Documents need to be executed correctly (Cambodia has specific requirements around ink color, thumbprints, and stamps), payments need to be tracked, and there’s a lot of coordination with developers, legal teams, and government offices that happens behind the scenes. This is a core part of what we do for our buyers.
What happens after I buy? What support do you provide?
This is where we focus most of our effort. We believe roughly 80% of the real work happens after the sale, not before.
For off-plan purchases, we provide ongoing construction updates, payment reminders, and direct communication with the developer throughout the build period. When the project reaches handover, we manage the full handover process — inspections, document preparation, and coordination with the developer.
After handover, we assist with title transfer (including all the paperwork, tax payments, and land office coordination), furniture and setup if needed, tenant placement through our network of 100+ agents across Phnom Penh, and ongoing property management.
For resale support, we help with pricing, marketing, buyer negotiations, and the full transfer process. Our role doesn’t end at the sale and we work towards developing long-term relationships with our clients.
How does the title transfer process work, and what does it cost?
Once your condo is paid for and ready to be registered in your name, the title transfer involves two main costs:
The transfer tax (stamp duty), which is 4% of the property value. This is a government tax and is typically the buyer’s responsibility. There are temporary exemptions available for qualifying purchases, but eligibility isn’t automatic and can vary between districts. Check with us before assuming any exemption applies.
Administrative and processing fees for the actual title registration, document handling, and land office procedures. These typically run around $1,500 to $1,800 through our network.
The standard processing timeline is approximately 3 months. Express processing is available at a higher cost, which can bring it down to around 1 month.
If you’re outside Cambodia, we handle the coordination — document shipping, Power of Attorney where needed, and working with the relevant offices to get the title issued in your name.
Do I need an agent to buy a condo in Cambodia?
You don’t have to use an agent. You can walk into a developer’s sales gallery and buy directly. But here’s the important thing: the price is the same whether you buy through an agency or directly from the developer. Developers sign agency agreements that prevent them from undercutting the agencies they work with, so you won’t get a cheaper deal by going direct.
The real question is what happens beyond the purchase itself. This includes contract review, payment tracking, construction updates, handover management, title transfer, furnishing, rental placement, and long-term support. These are the stages where having an experienced agent on the ground makes a practical difference, especially if you’re buying from outside Cambodia.
We also sometimes negotiate extras that aren’t available from the standard price list — additional discounts, furniture packages, free appliances, or other add-ons depending on what the developer is offering at the time.
If you’re considering a purchase, reach out to our team. We’re happy to walk you through the market and explain how the process works, with no obligation
