NovThe Sakura Residence
Public sources present The Sakura Residence primarily as the name of a low-rise residential project in Siem Reap rather than as a developer with a well-documented corporate history. Knight Frank included Sakura Residence in its review of Siem Reap's landed-housing market, and property portals continue to list the project in Svay Dangkum. We could not identify a publicly accessible registration record that clearly establishes a separate developer entity named The Sakura Residence, so buyers should match the project brand to the full legal names of the seller and landowner in the transaction documents.
A company name is not a recommendation. Check the project company, contract and selected unit before reservation.
Overview
Public sources present The Sakura Residence primarily as the name of a low-rise residential project in Siem Reap rather than as a developer with a well-documented corporate history. Knight Frank included Sakura Residence in its review of Siem Reap's landed-housing market, and property portals continue to list the project in Svay Dangkum. We could not identify a publicly accessible registration record that clearly establishes a separate developer entity named The Sakura Residence, so buyers should match the project brand to the full legal names of the seller and landowner in the transaction documents.
Track record
One project is clearly documented under the brand: The Sakura Residence in Siem Reap. Knight Frank's H2 2021 report placed Sakura Residence in the future pipeline with 48 landed homes, while realestate.com.kh and FazWaz give 2021 as the completion year. The discrepancy may reflect phasing or different reporting methods, but the public record is not sufficient to reconstruct the exact handover timeline for all 48 homes. No additional completed developments by the same developer were confirmed in the independent sources reviewed.
Segments and prices
The project is a landed-housing development, with portals describing link houses, shophouses and twin villas. An older realestate.com.kh listing for a specific three-bedroom, four-bathroom link house showed an asking price of US$170,000 and a hard title; that listing was last updated several years ago, so it should not be treated as a current project price as of 27 August 2026. Buyers should obtain a fresh unit-specific price, land size, built area, payment terms and transfer-cost breakdown.
Geography
The project is in Siem Reap. realestate.com.kh places it in Svay Dangkum, while FazWaz's project description specifies Krous Village in the same commune. However, the FazWaz page itself is filed under Sala Kamreuk, creating a minor location inconsistency between portal taxonomy and project text. For a transaction, the cadastral parcel number, boundaries and address on the land title matter more than the neighborhood label used in a listing.
Reliability and public record
The project's existence and reported scale are supported by an independent market report, and completed homes continue to appear on major property portals. The weaker part of the public profile is corporate transparency rather than the physical project: the reviewed sources do not clearly establish the full registered developer entity behind the brand or a broader delivery record. The timing also deserves checking because Knight Frank still counted the development in the future pipeline at the end of 2021 while property portals report a 2021 completion year. Buyers should therefore verify the history of the specific house through title records, permits and actual handover documentation rather than relying on a single project page.
What to verify
For this project, the first documents to request are the title for the specific land parcel and house, the full registered name of the landowner, and the legal entity signing the sale agreement. Check for mortgages or other encumbrances, the cadastral parcel number, consistency of the land area and boundaries with the contract, relevant permits, and the actual completion status of the selected home. Foreign buyers should be particularly careful not to treat a borey like a condominium: Cambodia's strata-ownership rules do not by themselves give a foreign national ownership of the underlying land. The Council for the Development of Cambodia states that foreigners cannot directly own land, so any long-term use right or other lawful ownership structure should be assessed for the specific transaction with independent legal advice; a nominee arrangement should not be treated as a safe substitute for a verifiable legal right.

Frequently asked questions
Is The Sakura Residence completed?
Property portals report a 2021 completion year and show completed homes, but Knight Frank still listed the 48-unit Sakura Residence in the future pipeline in its H2 2021 report. Completed units are therefore supported by the public record, while the exact completion date of the full project or a particular phase should be verified from the selected property's documents.
Who is the legal developer of The Sakura Residence?
The reviewed public sources use the project name as the brand, but they do not clearly disclose a separate registered developer entity with a transparent corporate history. The sale agreement should identify the full legal names of the seller, landowner and construction/development entity, and their relationship to the brand should be documented rather than assumed.
Can a foreigner directly own a house and land in this borey?
A foreign national cannot directly hold title to land in Cambodia. That makes a landed borey purchase materially different from buying a qualifying strata-titled condominium unit. A foreign buyer needs a transaction-specific, lawful structure for long-term use or other property rights, with the contract and title position reviewed independently.
