NovKingston Royale — a residential complex in Phnom Penh from $40,664
This page uses developer renders — the project is under construction and the images are illustrative.
Kingston Royale is a 36-floor residential complex in Phnom Penh with 310 apartments, built by a Cambodian developer team. The project's concept is "luxury at an affordable price": 11 layout types from compact studios to spacious two-bedrooms, full furnishing included, and interest-free installments over 3 years. It's an option for those who value a low entry threshold into a dollar asset with direct ownership.

About the property
Kingston Royale is built by a Cambodian team with a track record of delivered projects. The developer's mission is modern, quality housing that combines elegance, comfort and an affordable price, with after-sale support whether the client lives in the apartment or lets it. The complex sits in the "affordable luxury" segment — hence the low entry and full furnishing.
The complex's amenities
On the grounds and upper floors there's a full set of amenities for living and leisure:
Operating costs and rules for the shared facilities
A rooftop pool, Sky Garden, spa floor and multi-level parking create recurring costs after completion. Before booking, request the draft condominium rules and first-year operating budget: who will manage the building, what the service charge covers, whether common-area electricity and water are billed separately, whether a major-repair reserve is planned, and whether the tariff can change before the first handover.
Confirm guest and tenant access, facility opening hours, booking rules for shared spaces and responsibility when an amenity closes for repairs. Under Sub-Decree No. 126, internal regulations form part of the practical management framework for a co-owned building, so the promised facilities should be checked against both the renders and the rules governing their use and funding.
- Rooftop: a pool and a panoramic Sky Garden with views over Phnom Penh.
- 33rd floor: a spa zone — gym, steam room, sauna, jacuzzi.
- Also: a yoga hall, an on-site mini-market, 24-hour security.
- Parking: 7 floors of car parking, 2 floors for motorbikes, 3 lifts.

Layouts — 11 types
The project has 11 layout options: seven one-bedrooms and four two-bedrooms. All apartments have a balcony, kitchen, living room and dining area.
How to compare gross and net area pricing
The unit materials show both the marketed layout area and the net internal area. For H-05, the figures are 47.5 sq m and 36.5 sq m, so the net component is about 76.8% of the stated area. A-32 produces almost the same ratio: 65 sq m out of 84.7 sq m, or about 76.7%. Before choosing a unit, request an SPA schedule defining each area and the measurement method; otherwise two price-per-square-metre figures may use different denominators.
At the promotional price, H-05 works out at roughly $856 per stated square metre but about $1,114 per net square metre. For A-32, the corresponding figures are approximately $1,241 and $1,617. These are not market valuations or return forecasts; they are a way to compare two specific developer offers on the same basis.
| Type | Bedrooms | Area |
|---|---|---|
| Type A | 2 | 84.7 m² |
| Type B | 2 | 67.1 m² |
| Type C | 2 | 65.2 m² |
| Type D | 1 | 55.0 m² |
| Type E | 1 | 53.2 m² |
| Type F | 1 | 48.2 m² |
| Type G | 1 | 47.5 m² |
| Type H | 1 | 47.5 m² |

Prices and payment terms
Below are example calculations from the developer's materials for two units. Prices are shown with the current promotional discount; the full price is given for comparison.
Example 1 — one-bedroom (Type H, unit H-05, 47.5 m², 5th floor)
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Full price | $58,092 |
| Discounted price | $40,664 |
| Net area | 36.5 m² |
| Maintenance per year | $42.75 |
| Property tax per year | $7.53 |
Payment terms: booking $2,000 → 30% on signing the SPA → 40% interest-free installments over 36 months (~$452/mo) → 30% on handover.
Example 2 — two-bedroom (Type A, unit A-32, 84.7 m², 32nd floor)
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Full price | $150,153 |
| Discounted price | $105,107 |
| Net area | 65 m² |
| Maintenance per year | $76.23 |
| Property tax per year | $59.09 |
Payment terms: booking $2,000 → 30% on signing the SPA → 40% interest-free installments over 36 months (~$1,168/mo) → 30% on handover. A developer loan is possible for the final part.
This calculation is for information only. Prices and discounts are promotional and confirmed on request; current terms and unit availability are fixed in the contract with the developer.
How the payments work
An indicative payment sequence under the developer's scheme for an off-plan unit with 0% installments:
- Booking$2,000 to reserve the unit
- Sign the SPA30% of the price
- 0% installments40% in equal parts, 36 months
- Handover30% on handover (Dec 2027); a developer loan is possible
- Titlestrata-title in the buyer's name after completion
Stages and shares are per the developer; the exact schedule and amounts for a specific unit are fixed in the SPA.
What should prove the building is ready for handover
The phrase '30% on handover' should be defined in the SPA as a verifiable event, not merely a calendar date. Before the final payment, request the competent authority's occupancy document, evidence that permanent utilities are connected, confirmation that common areas are operational, and the proposed apartment handover form. Cambodia's Construction Law links use of a completed building to an occupancy approval; receiving keys alone is not a substitute for that document.
The SPA should also state the inspection process: the period for issuing a defect list, the deadline for rectification, the right to reinspect, and the consequences if material defects or required documents remain outstanding. Check separately whether 'handover' means the unit is genuinely ready to occupy, the warranty starts, or the buyer is simply invited to sign an acceptance form.

Ask about Kingston Royale →Is a parking space included in the apartment price?
Seven levels of car parking confirm that the building has parking infrastructure, but they do not allocate a space to an individual owner. Before booking, obtain written confirmation whether a space is sold, licensed for long-term use, rented or available on a first-come basis, and check any separate fee, transfer to a tenant and guest-parking rules.
How should I verify construction progress before the next payment?
Request a dated package in the same format each time: a full-site view, completed floors, major engineering works, an explanation of progress against the programme and the next control milestone. For a major payment, the SPA should ideally allow progress evidence or an independent inspection; an undated promotional video without a defined milestone does not prove that the contractual work has been completed.

What to check before booking
A short checklist of questions about a specific apartment before you place a booking:
- The $40,664 is the discounted price of the specific unit H-05 (full price $58,092); confirm the price and discount for the unit you choose.
- The 0% installment schedule over 36 months (30% on the SPA / 40% installments / 30% on handover).
- The construction stage and completion schedule (December 2027 is stated).
- What's actually included in the specification (furniture, appliances, decor) — fixed in the contract.
- The full list of costs above the price: stamp duty ~4%, maintenance (~$42.75/year), property tax (~$7.53/year).
What remains unverified
Honestly, on the limits of our data for this project:
- $40,664 is the discounted price of a specific unit, not a single price for all apartments and not an offer;
- this is off-plan with completion in December 2027 — there is construction and timeline risk;
- "9 of 9 projects delivered on time" is the developer's claim and should be checked against their track record separately;
- we don't claim any guaranteed-income or buy-back programmes — they're not in the data; rental yield is a market benchmark, not a guarantee;
- unit availability and the current price list require confirmation before the deal.
