NovBorey MC Villa
Borey MC Villa is a landed-housing brand associated with Kamboul in western Phnom Penh; regulatory reporting names the relevant legal entity as MC VILLA CO., LTD. Its public corporate footprint is limited: Realestate.com.kh places the developer in Sangkat Snaor, while property portals separately describe a second scheme of about 127 homes, reported as completed in January 2023. For a buyer, the key point is not the brand name but whether the seller in the contract matches the licensed entity and the legal owner of the land.

Overview
Borey MC Villa is a landed-housing brand associated with Kamboul in western Phnom Penh; regulatory reporting names the relevant legal entity as MC VILLA CO., LTD. Its public corporate footprint is limited: Realestate.com.kh places the developer in Sangkat Snaor, while property portals separately describe a second scheme of about 127 homes, reported as completed in January 2023. For a buyer, the key point is not the brand name but whether the seller in the contract matches the licensed entity and the legal owner of the land.
Track record
Public sources support at least a first MC Villa scheme and Borey MC Villa Project 2, but they do not provide a complete, independently verified record of all delivered phases. Property portals list the second project at 127 homes and report completion in January 2023. The first project also carries material regulatory history: in November 2023 the regulator was reported to have said MC Villa Co., Ltd. was operating without the required development licence and ordered its activities stopped; in September 2024, local media citing the Ministry of Land Management reported that the dispute had reached an agreement and title subdivision and transfer to customers were being prepared.
Segments and prices
Borey MC Villa sits in the landed-housing segment, with houses and villas rather than condominium units. Realestate.com.kh describes the concept as aimed at Cambodia’s middle-income domestic market; third-party portals show individual asking prices, but these should not be treated as an official developer price list. A buyer should therefore compare not just headline price, but the land title, the actual completion status of the specific house, transfer terms and any registered encumbrances.
Geography
The clearest public location is Sangkat Snaor in Kamboul, on the western side of Phnom Penh. Realestate.com.kh and reporting on the regulator’s notice both point to Kamboul, while some property portals still use an older or simplified Por Senchey/Kamboul hierarchy. Contract and title due diligence should rely on the cadastral identification of the actual land parcel rather than a portal map label.
Reliability and public record
Borey MC Villa has a material regulatory history, not merely a thin public-information footprint. Reporting in November 2023 that reproduced the Real Estate Business & Pawnshop Regulator’s notice said MC Villa Co., Ltd. was carrying out housing and land development without the required licence and that its activities had been stopped; reporting in September 2024 said an agreement had been reached over the first-project dispute and title transfers were being prepared. The sources reviewed do not provide public confirmation of a subsequent active development licence, so the current status of both the company and the specific project should be verified directly with the regulator before any payment.
What to verify
Before reserving, ask for the licence or permit number and expiry date for the exact development and verify it with the Real Estate Business & Pawnshop Regulator; Cambodian housing development requires the appropriate regulatory authorisation. Separately confirm the legal seller, the registered landowner, the original land title, any mortgages or other encumbrances, and the mechanism for subdivision and title transfer after full payment. A foreign buyer should also settle the ownership structure before signing: a freestanding house or villa sits on land that a foreign individual cannot directly own freehold, so any long-term lease or other permitted structure needs independent legal review.

Does Borey MC Villa currently hold a valid development licence?
In November 2023 the regulator was reported to have stated that MC Villa Co., Ltd. was operating without the required licence and that its activities had been stopped. The public sources reviewed do not confirm a later active licence, so a buyer should obtain the current licence number from the seller and verify it independently with the regulator.
Can Project 2 be treated as completed?
Several property portals report Borey MC Villa Project 2 as completed in January 2023 with about 127 homes. That is not enough for transaction due diligence: the buyer should verify the exact house, the land documentation and whether title can actually be transferred.
Can a foreigner register a Borey MC Villa house in their own name?
A foreign individual cannot directly own land in Cambodia, so a normal villa or freestanding house with its plot cannot simply be registered in the foreign buyer’s name in the same way as a qualifying strata-title condominium. A lawful structure, such as a registered long-term lease or another permitted arrangement, should be chosen from the documents of the specific parcel and reviewed by independent counsel.
Why do sources give different district labels for the project?
Realestate.com.kh and reporting on the regulator’s notice place the development in Sangkat Snaor, Kamboul, while some portals classify the same area under Por Senchey. For a purchase, the cadastral number, title and contractual parcel address matter more than a portal’s district label.
