Borey Uptown

Resale homes are no longer identical. A listing dated July 21, 2026 asks $100,000 for a four-bedroom house and states building dimensions of 4.2 by 16 metres on a 4.2 by 22 metre plot. A different corner property on FazWaz was offered at $110,000, showed a 77 sqm plot and was marked ready to move in. Another shophouse was advertised at $150,000 and at $580 per month for rent. Those figures are not a single project price list. Corner position, plot width, fit-out, furniture, orientation, tenancy, mortgage status and documentation can create a wide spread. The useful comparison is therefore between several Borey Uptown houses as well as against competing boreys.

The address is presented in two ways. Sales platforms usually label the project Prey Sa, Dangkao and Road 217. A Cambodian Ministry of Commerce official gazette gives an address inside the community as Street UP03, Phum Thmey, Sangkat Dangkao, Khan Dangkao. The evidence suggests that Prey Sa functions as the familiar market location while the formal postal and administrative address falls within Sangkat Dangkao. For navigation, Borey Uptown, Road 217 and the internal street are the clearest combination. For a transaction, the cadastral address on the selected plot’s title must take priority over the neighbourhood wording used in an advertisement.

The location belongs to Phnom Penh’s southern growth corridor around the 50 Metre Road and Hun Sen Boulevard. At launch, the project was promoted beside Chip Mong 50M Mall and within reach of AEON Mall Mean Chey. In practical terms, residents have road access to large-format retail, schools, banks and everyday services, but this is not a central, walkable address. A commute should be tested at the hours that matter to the household because Road 217 traffic can make a short map distance misleading. Buyers who do not drive or ride may find the location less convenient than a condominium in a more central district.

The project company is independently corroborated as Borey Uptown Development Co., Ltd. The exact employer name appears in two separate professional histories of people who worked with the project in administrative and sales functions. Pointer Property’s role is evidenced differently: its own company profile says it provided full project consultation and held exclusive sales and marketing rights for Uptown, while its management team documented pre-handover house inspections. Some aggregators collapse those roles and call Pointer the developer. The supported public description is Borey Uptown Development Co., Ltd as the project company and Pointer Property as consultant, commercial and management partner, while a Ministry of Commerce extract should still close the legal spelling and corporate relationship.

CCTV is the clearly documented project-wide facility. Public posts also show community activity around a park, although a current, complete schedule of management duties, fees and operating rules is not publicly available. A viewing should extend beyond the house: inspect lighting, drainage after rain, waste collection, internal road surfaces, access control, camera coverage and the actual recurring charges. In a completed borey, management quality can vary by row and over time. A well-presented interior cannot compensate for poor drainage, uncontrolled commercial use next door or weak maintenance of the surrounding street.

Borey Uptown received the Affordable Housing Development of the Year award at the 2023 Cambodia Real Estate Awards. That is a verifiable industry distinction, not a warranty for every resale house. A property may have been altered, rented, refinanced or repaired after handover. The buyer still needs a technical inspection, confirmation that the physical layout matches the documents, verification of the seller’s authority, review of land and building title, checks for utility arrears and bank encumbrances, and a clear understanding of borey rules. A hard-title claim in one advertisement must never be assumed to apply across the whole community.

The project’s appeal is straightforward: a completed three-storey, four-bedroom home in a southern residential corridor, with both owner-occupier and rental use visible in the market. The investment decision, however, belongs to the individual lot. A disciplined shortlist should include a standard mid-row house, a corner house and a property with an established fit-out. Compare plot dimensions, actual storey count, waterproofing, ventilation, daylight, parking, noise, title, mortgage position, management charges and the date on which the seller or tenant can deliver vacant possession. The cheapest asking price is only useful after those differences are understood.
