The Peak Residences Tower 1 & Tower 2 are part of “The Peak,” a large mixed-use development in Tonle Bassac, Chamkarmon, along Samdech Hun Sen Boulevard, just opposite Koh Pich (Diamond Island) in central Phnom Penh. The overall project consists of two residential towers, one office/hotel tower and a multi-level retail podium, all rising to 55 storeys.
Developed by Oxley Gem (Cambodia), a joint venture between Singapore-listed Oxley Holdings and local partner Worldbridge Land, The Peak is held on a freehold basis. The residential component – Tower 1 and Tower 2, contains 1,014 condominium units in total, with 507 units in each tower. Construction started around 2015 and the residences were completed around 2021.
Location & Surroundings
The Peak Residences sit in Village 14, Tonle Bassac, along Samdech Hun Sen Road, within Khan Chamkarmon. This places the project in one of Phnom Penh’s main inner-city growth corridors, close to key embassies, offices and high-end residential enclaves on both Tonle Bassac and Koh Pich.
The development is within short walking or driving distance of several major landmarks:
- NagaWorld integrated resort and casino, roughly a few hundred metres away.
- AEON Mall Phnom Penh (AEON 1), reachable in under 1 km along Sothearos Boulevard.
- The embassies of Australia and Russia, plus other diplomatic and office buildings along the same stretch of boulevard.
From the higher floors of the residential towers, many units have views toward the Mekong and Bassac rivers, Koh Pich and the central city skyline.
Project Profile
The Peak occupies a site area of about 12,760 sqm and is structured as an integrated complex built up from a retail podium.
Key built components include:
- Retail Podium: Around five levels of mall and F&B space form the base of the project, with managed retail areas and parking below.
- Residential Towers (Tower 1 & 2): Two 55-storey condominium towers sited above the podium, with shared recreational decks and common facilities.
- Office / Hotel Tower: A separate tower comprising 15 levels of Grade-A office space with the Shangri-La hotel above, physically connected within the same complex but distinct from the residential component.
The integrated design means residents have direct lift access to the mall and can also walk internally to the office and hotel components without leaving the project.
Residential Towers – Tower 1 & Tower 2
The Peak Residences Tower 1 and Tower 2 function as high-rise condominium blocks designed for both owner-occupation and investment. Together they provide 1,014 apartments over approximately 55 floors.
The residential towers share a broadly similar unit mix:
- Studio apartments
- 1-bedroom units
- 2-bedroom units (including some 2-bedroom + study layouts)
- 3-bedroom units
- Penthouses with larger floor-plates and private terraces on upper levels
To break it down individually Tower 1, has 76 studios, 152 one-bedroom units, 115 two-bedroom + study units and 151 three-bedroom units, along with a small number of studio, 3-bedroom and 4-bedroom penthouses at the top of the building. Tower 2 has a comparable structure and overall unit count.
Internal layouts are typical of modern high-rise condominiums in Phnom Penh, with compact studios and one-bedroom units emphasising open-plan living–dining–kitchen spaces, while two- and three-bedroom units separate private bedrooms from shared living areas.
Unit Sizes & Specifications
Size ranges indicate the following approximate internal areas for residential units:
- Studio: 43–52 sqm
- 1-Bedroom: 59–72 sqm
- 2-Bedroom: 88–96 sqm
- 3-Bedroom: around 89 sqm (some layouts slightly above or below depending on stack)
- Penthouses: 82–182 sqm
Finishing standards vary somewhat between units sold as bare vs fully fitted, but typical specifications include tiled flooring, built-in kitchen cabinets, basic cooking appliances, fitted bathrooms, air-conditioning and full-height windows or balcony doors.
Units can be offered fully furnished, especially smaller layouts that have been used for rental.
Facilities & Common Areas
Residents of Tower 1 and Tower 2 share a set of common facilities distributed on podium and sky levels. Core facilities across the project include:
- Swimming pool (with deck areas overlooking the city and rivers)
- Fitness centre / gym
- Spa, steam and sauna rooms
- Children’s play zone
- Landscaped sky gardens and seating areas
- Function / meeting rooms, lounges and multi-purpose spaces
- Restaurant and bar areas integrated with the wider complex
The retail podium adds supermarkets, cafés, F&B outlets, small shops and services, depending on tenant mix at any given time. Residents also benefit from onsite car parking with around 1,420 car park lots are provided for the whole development.
Ownership, Tenure & Management
The Peak is structured as a freehold project, so foreign and local buyers can usually acquire condominium units under strata-title arrangements consistent with Cambodia’s foreign ownership regulations (subject to standard restrictions on ground-floor land title).
The complex is managed as an integrated development, with building management covering security, common-area cleaning, facility upkeep and operation of lifts, fire systems and mechanical services. The retail mall itself is typically handled by a dedicated retail management team.
Market Position & Use Cases
Within Phnom Penh’s condo market, The Peak Residences Tower 1 & 2 sit in the high-end segment, mainly due to their central Tonle Bassac location, integration with a 5-star hotel and office tower, and the scale of the retail podium.
Practical uses seen in the market include:
- Long-term city homes for residents who want to live close to the CBD, embassies and major malls.
- Rental units for professionals, embassy staff and business travellers who value the mixed-use environment.
- Smaller units used as serviced apartments or short-stay rentals, depending on building rules and local regulations.
Overall, The Peak Residences Tower 1 & 2 can be described as dense, vertical city living within a large integrated complex, combining typical condominium features with direct access to retail, offices and a future Shangri-La hotel, all on a freehold site in Phnom Penh’s Tonle Bassac district.
