It’s a single tower with a little over 150 residential units plus a few retail spaces on the lower floors. The building also has hotel-style rooms in the same structure, so it feels more like a serviced residence than a standard condo.
The project is completed and operating, with residents already using the facilities and units trading on the resale market.
Location and Surroundings
The Peninsula is located on the Chroy Changvar peninsula, where the Tonle Sap and Mekong rivers meet. It sits just across the river from the traditional city centre (Riverside and Daun Penh) and connects via the Cambodia–Japan Friendship Bridges and National Road 6A.
From the project, it’s a short drive over the bridge to landmarks like Riverside, Vattanac Capital, Exchange Square and the old downtown area, depending on traffic. On the Chroy Changvar side, it links to the growing residential corridor along National Road 6A, with access to schools, cafes, small malls and local shops.
In day-to-day terms:
- Chroy Changvar is generally quieter and less dense than inner-city districts like BKK1 or Tonle Bassac.
- Many units and the rooftop look towards the river and downtown skyline.
- Being near the bridge and main roads means more traffic at peak times, so commute conditions can change a lot between off-peak and rush hour.
Developer and Project Background
The Peninsula is developed by CC Peninsula Co., Ltd., a joint-venture company backed by regional and local investors. It combines residential ownership with a hospitality-style operation, which is why you see both hotel rooms and privately owned condo units in the same tower.
From the start, the project has been positioned as a fully furnished, managed condo with a focus on building management and long-term upkeep of common areas. The building is now complete, so buyers and tenants are dealing with a finished product rather than a construction site.
Building and Design
The Peninsula is a single tower with a bit over twenty above-ground floors, plus basement parking. Depending on how you count service and rooftop levels, the exact floor number can differ slightly, but the overall scale is mid-rise rather than super-tall.
Inside the tower you have roughly 155–160+ residential units, plus a small number of retail units at street level. The building was designed by a regional architecture firm and uses a curved, river-inspired façade, with a rooftop deck that holds the main pool and some of the lifestyle facilities.
Units are sold fully furnished. Typical details include:
- Timber-style flooring in living areas and bedrooms
- Built-in wardrobes and storage
- Fitted kitchens and bathrooms
- Balconies in many layouts
Overall, the design leans toward a clean, hotel-style look rather than raw or industrial.
Unit Types and Typical Sizes
The unit mix covers a range of layouts:
- Studio units
- 1-bedroom units
- 2-bedroom units
- 3-bedroom units
- Duplex units on higher floors
Sizes vary by stack and floor, but as a general guide:
- 1-bedroom units often sit in the mid-50s to mid-70s sqm on a gross basis.
- 2-bedroom units are commonly around 100–125 sqm gross.
- 3-bedroom units can go from roughly 120 sqm gross up to around the mid-160s sqm and higher in duplex form.
- Duplex units on upper levels are larger again, sometimes above 150–200+ sqm gross with extra study or dressing spaces.
On at least one typical 1-bedroom example, the net area is a bit under three-quarters of the gross area. That gives a rough sense of the net-to-gross ratio here, but actual figures always depend on the specific unit.
Facilities and Shared Spaces
For a single-tower project, The Peninsula has a fairly wide range of facilities, spread mainly across the podium and upper levels.
Key shared areas include:
- Rooftop infinity pool with city and river views
- Rooftop gym and sauna
- Children’s pool and small play area
- Private kitchen and patio space that can be booked for gatherings
- Social/lounge areas with games and entertainment rooms
- Co-working or “lab” space for quiet work
- Ground-floor lobby and reception
- Spa on the ground floor
- Multiple levels of car parking (basement and podium), often accessed by car lifts
- Security, CCTV and on-site management office
Because the project operates partly like a hotel, the facilities are used both by long-stay residents and short-stay guests, depending on management’s current model.
Services and Management
One of the main points that sets The Peninsula apart from a standard condo is the service layer.
The building is run more like a serviced residence, with:
- 24-hour reception and concierge feel in the lobby
- On-site property management
- Housekeeping and maintenance services available on request
- Leasing support for owners who want help finding and managing tenants
At launch, the developer attached some rental programs and guaranteed return schemes. Those are time-limited and can change over the life of the project, so owners and buyers should always confirm what, if any, rental programs are currently on offer rather than relying on old marketing.
Ownership, Title and Fees
The Peninsula is structured as a condo building under Cambodian strata rules, with individual units on upper floors available for foreign and local ownership, subject to the usual legal limits and requirements.
Key points to check with any given unit:
- Title status and type (for example: hard title, strata title, co-ownership booklet, etc.)
- Current management or common area fee per square metre (usually charged on gross area)
- Any one-off sinking fund contributions and how often they are topped up
- How car parking is handled (allocation, usage rules and fees)
- How utilities are billed (direct from provider or via building management)
These numbers can change over time as the building matures and the owners’ association becomes more active, so it’s best to rely on the latest written information from management or the seller.
Who This Project Tends to Suit
In practical terms, The Peninsula tends to attract:
- Long-stay expats and professionals who like hotel-style facilities but want to own rather than just rent in a hotel
- Couples and small families who prefer a quieter riverside location, but still want to reach the city centre quickly
- Investors who are looking for a fully furnished unit with on-site management and potential leasing support
Because hotel rooms and private residences sit in the same building, it’s worth thinking about how “hotel-like” you want your home or investment to feel. Some people enjoy the activity and services; others prefer purely residential towers.
Practical Things for Buyers and Tenants to Check
If you’re considering The Peninsula for purchase or rental, it’s useful to look beyond the brochure and check a few practical details:
- Visit at different times of day to get a feel for traffic, noise and lobby activity.
- Confirm the exact floor and orientation of the unit, and compare the view with current and planned neighboring buildings.
- Ask for both net and gross areas on the title and in the sale documents, and match them to the floor plan.
- Get the latest written information on management fees, sinking fund, parking and any extra charges.
- Review the house rules for things like pets, short-term rentals, use of facilities and renovation works.
Putting these pieces together helps you see how The Peninsula works in real life, not just on paper, and makes it easier to compare with other projects in Chroy Changvar and the wider Phnom Penh market.
