The View Residence, also known as The View Serviced Residence, is a high-rise condo and serviced apartment building in BKK1, Khan Boeng Keng Kang, right in central Phnom Penh.
It’s a 33-storey tower with a bit over 300 units in total. The building mainly offers studios, 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom units. It was completed around 2019, so it’s a relatively new residential tower in this part of the city.
Location & neighborhood
The building is on Street 370 in BKK1, which is one of the main expat and business areas in Phnom Penh.
From here, you can walk to cafés, restaurants, small bars, mini-marts, pharmacies and some small shopping spots. BKK1 is also packed with Japanese, Korean and Western food options, along with local restaurants.
Russian Market (Tuol Tompoung) and other popular areas are only a short drive away by tuk-tuk or ride-hailing. The airport is further out, but still reachable within normal city driving time.
Overall, it’s a central, convenient location where most daily needs are within walking distance or a quick ride.
Building & design
The View Residence is a modern high-rise condo and serviced residence. Key points:
- Approx. 33 floors above ground
- A bit over 300 units in the building
- Modern tower design with a lobby at street level and facilities at the top
Inside, the design is simple and modern: tiled floors, built-in cabinets, neutral colors and large windows, especially on higher floors, that look out over BKK1 and the surrounding districts.
The rooftop level is used for the pool, gym and restaurant, so most of the shared spaces are concentrated at the top of the building.
Unit mix & layouts
The building is mainly made up of:
- Studios – compact open-plan units, usually with a combined living/sleeping space, a small kitchen, one bathroom and a balcony.
- 1-bedroom units – separate bedroom with a living room, open kitchen, bathroom and balcony.
- 2-bedroom units – living area with open kitchen, two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a balcony.
Most units are offered as fully furnished serviced apartments. A typical unit will include: bed and mattress, wardrobe, sofa, TV, dining table, basic kitchen setup, fridge, microwave, washing machine and air-conditioning.
Kitchens or kitchenettes are standard across the units, which suits longer-stay tenants who want to cook at home.
Facilities & shared spaces
One of the main features of The View Residence is its rooftop facilities. Residents typically have access to:
- Rooftop swimming pool
- Fitness center / gym
- Steam room and sauna
- Japanese-style bath
- Rooftop restaurant and some lounge or seating areas
There are also common areas that can be used for small gatherings or functions, depending on building policy.
These facilities are designed for both short-stay and long-stay residents, so the building feels a bit like a mix between a condo and a hotel.
Services, management & inclusions
The building is run as a serviced residence with a strong Japanese influence in branding and management.
On the service side, residents can usually expect:
- On-site front desk / reception
- Building management and maintenance team
- 24/7 security presence
- Use of shared facilities included in the building or management fee
Electricity, water and some other services are normally billed separately, based on individual usage and the specific agreement. Housekeeping, parking and other add-ons can be included or charged extra depending on each contract, especially if it’s a short-stay booking versus a standard 6–12 month lease.
Safety, access & parking
The building follows a more “condo-style” setup rather than a basic walk-up. Common points include:
- Multiple passenger elevators serving the residential floors
- Basement parking for cars and motorbikes
- 24/7 security at entry points
- Card-access elevators and controlled building access
- Fire safety measures such as extinguishers, alarms and emergency exits
This gives residents a more structured and secure environment compared with many smaller apartment buildings.
Living experience & typical tenants
In day-to-day use, The View Residence works like a hybrid between a condo and a serviced hotel:
- Many units are owned by individual investors and rented out as serviced apartments.
- Tenants are mostly working professionals, expats and some small families who want to be in BKK1.
- The project is popular with Japanese tenants and companies, given the Japanese bath, restaurant and service style.
- Short-term guests may book through hotel platforms, while long-term tenants usually sign standard rental contracts.
Life in the building is fully vertical: residents use the lifts to move between their unit and the rooftop, work out or swim upstairs, then head out into BKK1 for food, coffee, work and nightlife.

- Utilities are usually paid separately, while facility access is typically included in the management or service fee.
- It suits people who want to live in BKK1, use full facilities and don’t mind smaller condo-style units in a busy central area.
Be sure to inspect any units carefully for wear and leaks before signing any rental or purchase documents. Our team will also perform pre-handover checks to make sure everything is in order too. This is standard process for us here in Cambodia, and is especially important for projects that have been on the market for a couple of years already.
You can then add your own unit-specific details—such as floor number, view direction, net and gross size, and rental or sale price—to complete the final listing.
