The Skyline is a central Phnom Penh condominium in Khan 7 Makara (Veal Vong), built as a mixed-use complex with two residential towers sitting above a podium of shared facilities, parking, and on-site commercial space. It’s the kind of project buyers and renters look at when they want “city convenience” first (easy access to offices, banks, shopping, and day-to-day services) while still having pool/gym facilities on-site.
Location and what it feels like day-to-day
Veal Vong (7 Makara) is basically “inner-city Phnom Penh.” You’re close to major office towers, banks, and retail clusters, so it’s practical for people working in town, not just people living here full-time. Landmarks commonly associated with the area include Vattanac Capital, Canadia Tower, Central Market, and Olympia Mall, plus easy access toward Riverside.
In real life, that central location usually means:
- shorter trips for work meetings and errands,
- lots of food and services nearby,
- more traffic at peak hours compared with suburban projects,
- a neighborhood mix of offices, local homes, and newer mid/high-rise buildings.
This is quite a local-centric area of Phnom Penh, but you can find most foreign-facing spots with a 5 to 10 minute drive or taxi. The streets are quite narrow and can be crowded during peak hours, much like most inner city areas of Phnom Penh.
Building concept and layout
The Skyline is planned as a “podium + towers” setup. The lower levels are used for commercial space, building services, and structured parking, and the residential towers rise above that.
With podium-style buildings, your unit experience can change a lot depending on where you sit relative to (1) the facilities deck (pool/gym level) and (2) the street-facing sides. It’s also worth checking noise, sun direction, and whether the balcony faces a busy street or inward toward the pool deck.
Unit types, sizing, and “net vs gross” (important in Cambodia)
Most standard units are 1–2 bedrooms, and the project also has larger penthouse-style layouts in smaller quantities.
One detail that matters in Cambodia: some listings quote “net” area (usable internal space) while others quote “gross” area (usable space plus a share of common areas). For example, a 1-bedroom here may be advertised as 55 sqm net but around 77.47 sqm gross in the same listing. Both numbers can be “correct,” as they’re just different measurement bases.
When comparing prices across projects (or even across listings in the same project), make sure to compare the same area standard (net-to-net or gross-to-gross).
Facilities and building services
The Skyline is positioned as a full-facility condo: pool, gym, and shared spaces that support both owner-occupiers and rentals. The facilities include:
- Swimming pool + kids/wading pool
- Gym / fitness center
- Sky terrace (often mentioned with BBQ area)
- Function/reading room style shared spaces
- Outdoor fitness / landscaped deck areas
- 24/7 security and CCTV
- Car parking
There is also an on-site commercial plaza component of 3 storeys, intended to support daily convenience (F&B, small retail, services). Actual tenant mix can change over time, so it’s something to confirm on a visit.
What to check before buying or renting here
A quick, practical checklist that’s especially relevant for Skyline-style podium towers:
- Which tower + which side: view, sun heat, street noise, and future nearby construction risk.
- Area standard: confirm if the quoted size is net or gross (and which one management fee is calculated on).
- Parking rules: whether the unit comes with a dedicated space, shared parking, and any monthly fees (varies by contract and management policy).
- Management + building rules: guest policy, short-stay rules, pets policy (some listings mention “pet friendly,” but rules can be strict in practice—verify with management).
- Title and transfer path: confirm strata/freehold documentation and transfer process (especially important for resales).
- Fit-out and included items: some units are sold/rented with built-ins (wardrobes, kitchen cabinets, cooker hob + hood, A/C, water heater), but what’s actually included is unit-specific—confirm in the inventory list.
Who The Skyline usually suits
This project typically works best for:
- people who want to live close to the CBD and don’t want long commutes,
- tenants looking for a “modern condo + facilities” lifestyle in a central district,
- buyers who prefer completed buildings (finished 2018) rather than off-plan.
