NovJ&L Property Development Co., Ltd.
J&L Property Development’s public development record is centred on one large Phnom Penh project, Sky Tree Residence. The company’s own site identifies J&L as the developer and links it to Taiwan-based Focus Group, while Realestate.com.kh also associates the completed project with J&L. Cambodia’s Department of Intellectual Property recorded J & L PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. and a Phnom Penh address in a 2016 filing, although that record is not a substitute for a current Ministry of Commerce company extract when checking a transaction.

Overview
J&L Property Development’s public development record is centred on one large Phnom Penh project, Sky Tree Residence. The company’s own site identifies J&L as the developer and links it to Taiwan-based Focus Group, while Realestate.com.kh also associates the completed project with J&L. Cambodia’s Department of Intellectual Property recorded J & L PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. and a Phnom Penh address in a 2016 filing, although that record is not a substitute for a current Ministry of Commerce company extract when checking a transaction.
Track record
Sky Tree Residence is the company’s best-documented development. J&L’s website describes a three-building scheme with 1,420 units, while Realestate.com.kh reports 100% construction progress, 1,420 units and a 2020 completion year; architecture practice ARTEC also lists the development as complete and names J&L Property Development as the client. In 2017, the Phnom Penh Post reported a US$35 million syndicated loan from six Taiwanese banks intended to help finish Sky Tree. These are meaningful project-level facts, but the sources reviewed do not establish a broad portfolio of other completed developments delivered by the same J&L legal entity.
Segments and prices
The clearly documented segment is a high-rise urban condominium with residential and serviced-residence functions. J&L’s current Sky Tree sales page lists one-, two- and three-bedroom layouts and shows an indicative US$2,600 per square metre for the displayed plans, while Realestate.com.kh carries unit-specific offers and ranges that vary materially by size and property. These figures should not be treated as one current price list because the listings were updated at different times; the actual asking price needs to be confirmed for the specific unit and seller.
Geography
J&L’s clearly documented development footprint is in Phnom Penh through Sky Tree Residence. The company website says the wider Focus Group has land reserves in Sihanoukville, Koh Rong and Vietnam as well, but a group-level landholding claim does not demonstrate completed J&L developments in those locations. Buyers should distinguish the parent group’s geographic interests from projects actually delivered by the specific J&L legal entity.
Reliability and public record
There are several useful verification points: the company name appears in an official Cambodian IP gazette, Sky Tree is independently shown as a completed large-scale asset, and a US$35 million construction financing package was reported in 2017. That gives buyers more substance than a marketing page alone, but it is not the same as full corporate transparency. The reviewed public sources do not provide current J&L financial statements, a complete picture of company liabilities or a broad independently verified portfolio of other completed developments, so the finished building does not remove the need for legal-entity and unit-level due diligence.
What to verify
For a Sky Tree Residence purchase, first establish who the legal seller is today: J&L itself, a related company, or a private owner on the resale market. Obtain a current company extract where relevant, the individual unit title, mortgage and encumbrance information, the co-ownership rules and the actual management charges. A foreign buyer should separately confirm that the unit is above the ground floor and that foreign quota remains available at registration; Cambodian rules cap foreign ownership at 70% of the total surface area of private units in a co-owned building. If developer instalments or financing are offered, verify exactly when title transfers and whether the unit remains security for any outstanding obligation.

Is Sky Tree Residence completed?
Independent sources show the project as complete: Realestate.com.kh reports 100% construction progress and a 2020 completion year, while architecture practice ARTEC lists the project status as complete. A purchase still requires checks on the selected unit and its current seller.
Does J&L have other verified completed projects?
In the public sources reviewed, Sky Tree Residence remains the main development that can be clearly tied to J&L Property Development. Statements about Focus Group’s longer history and wider land reserves should not automatically be counted as J&L’s completed development portfolio without project-by-project evidence.
Can a foreign buyer register a Sky Tree Residence unit in their own name?
Cambodian law allows qualifying foreigners to own private units in co-owned buildings above the ground floor, subject to a 70% cap measured against the total surface area of private units. The building’s general condominium status is therefore not enough: the selected unit’s individual title, floor and remaining foreign quota should be checked immediately before registration.
