NovLIXIN Construction
LIXIN Construction is a Cambodian legal entity connected with the network of companies operating under the LIXIN Group brand. Its clearest documented real-estate link is CEO Center in central Phnom Penh: OCCRP reports that LIXIN Construction announced the project in 2017, while current project materials identify LIXIN Group as the primary developer working with KT Pacific Group. Buyers should distinguish the group brand from the exact seller and developer named in their contract.

Overview
LIXIN Construction is a Cambodian legal entity connected with the network of companies operating under the LIXIN Group brand. Its clearest documented real-estate link is CEO Center in central Phnom Penh: OCCRP reports that LIXIN Construction announced the project in 2017, while current project materials identify LIXIN Group as the primary developer working with KT Pacific Group. Buyers should distinguish the group brand from the exact seller and developer named in their contract.
Track record
For LIXIN Construction itself, CEO Center is the most clearly documented project: a 33-storey, two-tower mixed-use development with 1,047 units. Current property sources still show a 2026 completion target, and RUMAVI describes construction as roughly 85% complete in its current listing. LIXIN Group markets other developments, including a large Sihanoukville scheme and several joint ventures, but public material does not establish LIXIN Construction as the contractual developer for every group project.
Segments and prices
CEO Center combines offices, residential apartments and Wyndham-managed hotel residences. At the time of review, RUMAVI lists offerings from about US$153,780, while Cam Realty Service shows residential units from roughly US$156,176, offices from about US$246,916 and one-bedroom hotel residences from around US$210,952. These are marketed asking prices rather than a single authoritative developer price list, so the exact unit price, payment schedule and compulsory charges should be confirmed before reservation.
Geography
LIXIN Construction's clearly documented project footprint is in Phnom Penh. CEO Center is located in 7 Makara along Street 169, near Olympia Mall and the government district. LIXIN Group publicly presents a much broader footprint, including Sihanoukville and overseas developments, but those are group-level claims and should not be treated as the legal entity's own delivery record without specific to the project documentation.
Reliability and public record
The company and project have a substantial public footprint: CEO Center remains actively marketed, and project materials offer company registration, developer-licence and construction-permit documents for buyer review. Corporate due diligence is nevertheless especially important here. In January 2026, OCCRP published an investigation into LIXIN Group and associated individuals containing serious allegations based on court records and sources connected with a UN report; LIXIN denied wrongdoing and disputed specific links. This is not the same as a court finding that LIXIN Construction committed the alleged conduct, but it gives buyers a strong reason to independently verify beneficial ownership, corporate structure, the seller's authority and the payment route.
What to verify
Before paying a deposit, obtain a current Ministry of Commerce extract for LIXIN CONSTRUCTION CO., LTD. and match it against the seller, landowner, contracting party and payment recipient. For CEO Center, independently review the land title, active developer licence, construction permit, actual construction progress, contractual handover date and delay remedies; a marketed '2026' completion year is not a substitute for an enforceable SPA obligation. Foreign buyers should also confirm co-owned-building registration, eligibility of the selected unit for an individual strata title and remaining foreign quota. Any promoted hotel-residence return should be checked in the separate operator agreement, including the payer, calculation basis, term, expenses and termination conditions.

Frequently asked questions
Are LIXIN Construction and LIXIN Group the same entity?
No. LIXIN Construction is a specific registered company, while LIXIN Group is used as the umbrella brand for a network of related businesses. Projects and assets shown on the group website therefore should not automatically be treated as LIXIN Construction's own portfolio; for a purchase, the decisive evidence is the legal entity named in the contract and corporate records.
Which LIXIN Construction project is best documented?
CEO Center in Phnom Penh. Public sources consistently describe a 33-storey, two-tower development with 1,047 units and a current 2026 completion target. OCCRP separately documents LIXIN Construction's role in announcing the CEO Center project in 2017.
What does the OCCRP investigation mean for a property buyer?
It is not a court judgment finding LIXIN Construction guilty, and the group denied wrongdoing. For a buyer committing substantial funds, however, the reporting makes independent counterparty checks more important: who owns the land and project company, who receives the money, which licences remain valid and which delivery obligations are actually written into the contract.
