Khek Leang Co., Ltd

Public evidence places Khek Leang Co., Ltd primarily in Siem Reap, with activity spanning hospitality and low-rise residential development. A 2017 Post Property report connected the company directly to Borei Somadevi Angkor, launched in 2016 on roughly two hectares with a plan for 100 homes, and described Khek Linith as the owner of both the hotel and borey development business. The official hotel website also displays the spelling “Kheng Leang Co., LTD”, so a buyer should match the contracting entity against Cambodian registration documents rather than rely on the brand name alone.

Overview

Public evidence places Khek Leang Co., Ltd primarily in Siem Reap, with activity spanning hospitality and low-rise residential development. A 2017 Post Property report connected the company directly to Borei Somadevi Angkor, launched in 2016 on roughly two hectares with a plan for 100 homes, and described Khek Linith as the owner of both the hotel and borey development business. The official hotel website also displays the spelling “Kheng Leang Co., LTD”, so a buyer should match the contracting entity against Cambodian registration documents rather than rely on the brand name alone.

Track record

The publicly documented residential track record is limited rather than broad. Borei Somadevi Angkor was launched in 2016 with an initial plan for 100 detached homes on about two hectares; current property platforms mark the project as completed in 2021 and ready to move in. Khek Leang also has a longer operating history in Siem Reap hospitality: a Japanese government study identified Somadevi Angkor Resort & Spa as a Khek Leang-owned hotel and listed its opening year as 2004. That operating history is useful context, but it should not be treated as a substitute for a larger record of completed residential developments.

Segments and prices

Available evidence points to landed homes and villas rather than condominium development. In 2017, Khek Linith quoted construction-stage home prices of roughly US$95,000–130,000. A later Realestate.com.kh project profile lists a starting level of US$135,000, about US$135,000–145,000 for flat houses and around US$185,000 for a detached villa. Those are marketplace figures, not a verified developer price list as of 27 August 2026, so buyers should request current inventory, land size, fit-out scope, infrastructure obligations and transaction costs for the specific property.

Geography

The verified geography is Siem Reap. Borei Somadevi Angkor is in Chreav, Siem Reap, and the Somadevi hospitality assets are also tied to the same market. This review did not find solid public evidence of Khek Leang residential projects in other Cambodian cities, so the company is better treated as a Siem Reap-focused operator unless a broader portfolio is supported by project or corporate documents.

Reliability and public record

There is verifiable evidence of real operating activity: a long-running Siem Reap hotel business and a residential project that property platforms mark as completed in 2021. At the same time, public disclosure is thin on the full development portfolio, financial reporting, current residential-development permits and a broader list of delivered projects. The Khek/Kheng spelling difference across public materials adds another identity check. A completed project is meaningful evidence, but it does not remove the need to verify the exact legal entity, land documents and contractual obligations for the property being purchased.

What to verify

For Borei Somadevi Angkor, start by matching the developer and seller named in the contract to the corporate registration documents; the Khek/Kheng spelling variation makes this more important than usual. For the specific house, request the land and building title documents, encumbrance information, applicable construction approvals, evidence that the unit is actually complete, and the seller’s written infrastructure obligations. A foreign buyer also needs a lawful ownership structure: Cambodia does not permit foreigners to own land directly, while the 70% foreign-ownership rule applies to qualifying private units in co-owned buildings and does not automatically apply to a landed house. Any non-refundable payment is better made only after the contracting party and ownership structure are documented.

Frequently asked questions

Which residential project is publicly linked to Khek Leang Co., Ltd?

Borei Somadevi Angkor in Siem Reap is the clearest documented residential project. Post Property linked it to Khek Leang during construction in 2017, while later property platforms mark the development as completed in 2021.

Does the hotel business prove the developer’s residential track record?

It supports the view that the business has had a real operating presence in Siem Reap for many years, but hospitality operations are not the same as a record of delivering housing projects. For a home purchase, the specific project documents, title, handover quality and contract performance matter more.

Can a foreign buyer directly own a house and land in Borei Somadevi Angkor?

A foreign national cannot directly own Cambodian land. Cambodian law does allow foreign ownership of qualifying private units in co-owned buildings subject to conditions, including a 70% cap, but that is a different ownership regime. A landed house therefore requires a transaction-specific lawful structure that should be reviewed by Cambodian counsel before funds are committed.

Why do some sources use Khek Leang and others Kheng Leang?

Both spellings appear in public materials: business reporting uses Khek Leang Co., Ltd, while the official hotel site displays Kheng Leang Co., LTD. That does not by itself prove there are two different entities, but a buyer should not assume they are identical without checking the registration number and the legal name shown in the contract.
