NovHong Lian Group
Hong Lian Group is most visible in public Cambodian property sources through M Residence, a completed residential tower in central Phnom Penh. Realestate.com.kh describes the group as Hong Kong-linked and also attributes the earlier The Skyline to it, but the accessible public record does not clearly connect the Hong Lian Group brand to the exact Cambodian legal entity acting as developer or seller in every transaction. A buyer can therefore use the project history as context, while still identifying the actual contractual counterparty from the documents for the specific unit.

Overview
Hong Lian Group is most visible in public Cambodian property sources through M Residence, a completed residential tower in central Phnom Penh. Realestate.com.kh describes the group as Hong Kong-linked and also attributes the earlier The Skyline to it, but the accessible public record does not clearly connect the Hong Lian Group brand to the exact Cambodian legal entity acting as developer or seller in every transaction. A buyer can therefore use the project history as context, while still identifying the actual contractual counterparty from the documents for the specific unit.
Track record
M Residence provides a verifiable completed-project reference: APS Cambodia lists a 29-storey building with 378 units completed in 2021. Realestate.com.kh also presents The Skyline as an earlier completed Hong Lian Group project, while Cambodian outlet PropertyArea described The Skyline as a joint development by S.G.P.D and Hong Lian Group. The evidence therefore supports a connection to at least two substantial Phnom Penh residential projects, but not a claim that Hong Lian Group was the sole developer across a broad independently verified portfolio.
Segments and prices
The clearest publicly documented Cambodian segment is urban condominium housing. M Residence includes studios, one-bedroom and two-bedroom units of roughly 35 to 80 sq m. There is no reliable current group-wide developer price band to quote: the building is completed and live asking prices relate to individual units and resale sellers, not to a single Hong Lian Group primary-market price list.
Geography
The verified geography for this profile is Phnom Penh. M Residence is in Boeng Keng Kang 1, while The Skyline is in the 7 Makara area, placing both references in the capital's central urban market. For a buyer, that is more useful than a broad claim of nationwide presence because the available track record can be checked against actual buildings in Phnom Penh.
Reliability and public record
A practical strength for due diligence is that M Residence is completed and operating, so buyers can inspect the building, common areas and management rather than relying on renderings. Corporate transparency around the brand is less complete: property platforms consistently name Hong Lian Group as developer, but accessible public sources do not provide a full picture of the Cambodian legal entity, permits and participation structure behind each project. That is not evidence that the developer is unreliable; it means the brand name should not substitute for checking the seller, title and unit-level documents.
What to verify
Before buying in M Residence or another property attributed to Hong Lian Group, identify the exact legal entity selling the unit and establish how it relates to the brand, then match that entity against the sale contract and payment instructions. For the specific unit, obtain the registered ownership certificate, check for encumbrances and outstanding management charges, and review the building and management documentation. A foreign buyer should also confirm that the chosen unit is legally eligible for foreign ownership: Cambodian law permits foreigners to own private units in co-owned buildings above the ground level, subject to a 70% cap on the total floor area of privately owned units held by foreigners in the building. For an investment purchase, verify actual recurring costs, management rules and unit-specific rental evidence rather than relying on a marketed yield.

Which Hong Lian Group project in Phnom Penh is best documented?
M Residence. Multiple independent property platforms identify Hong Lian Group as the developer, and APS Cambodia lists the core building data: 29 storeys, 378 units and completion in 2021. For a buyer, the key advantage is that this is an operating building that can be physically inspected and assessed through its actual management.
Can The Skyline be treated as a Hong Lian Group project?
The connection is supported, but the attribution needs nuance. Realestate.com.kh presents The Skyline as an earlier Hong Lian Group project, while PropertyArea states that S.G.P.D and Hong Lian Group jointly developed it. The Skyline therefore supports the group's participation in the project, not a claim of sole development.
What should a foreign buyer verify first?
Do not stop at the developer's brand name. Confirm the seller's legal identity, the registered title for the exact unit, any encumbrances, the building's remaining foreign ownership quota, and that the unit is on a level eligible for foreign ownership. Because M Residence is completed, buyers can also assess common-area condition, management performance and actual monthly charges.
