Why this project is worth a look
Completed residential buildings
Recent listings and on-site photographs show that part of Star Bay is occupied and used for rentals. A buyer can therefore inspect actual apartments, corridors, lifts, shared areas and the immediate setting rather than relying on a showroom. For a completed-property purchase, that evidence is more useful than promises attached to a future phase.
Compact unit choices
Published stock includes studios, one- and two-bedroom apartments, plus SOHO formats. The mix can work for individual use, couples and rental strategies. A type label does not guarantee one standard layout, however: several area bands and unit series appear across the development, so the selected plan must be checked unit by unit.
Coast and city combined
Star Bay sits in the urban coastal area around 2 Thnou Street. The location supports beach stays as well as access to shops, services and central Sihanoukville. That makes it more flexible than an isolated resort, while also exposing owners to traffic, active commercial premises and the management demands of a very large mixed-use site.
Visible resale activity
Fresh Khmer24 advertisements in July 2026 include both sales and long-term rentals, with a furnished studio offered at $63,000. Listings do not prove liquidity or investment returns, but they let buyers compare real interiors, asking prices and landlord expectations instead of depending only on historic launch material.
About the project
Star Bay is a large coastal development in Sihanoukville, not a single tower with one clean set of specifications. Published profiles describe a mixed-use scheme combining residential buildings, commercial space and hospitality functions. Current listing photographs show completed white towers, an internal retail podium and furnished apartments in use, while other buildings and plots around the wider site remain at different stages. Buyers should separate the completed residential phase from the broader master plan and any later components; a headline figure for the whole Star Bay concept may not describe the building that contains a particular unit.
The project is consistently tied to 2 Thnou Street and the landmark next to Sokha Hotel. Rumavi and ERA place it in Sihanoukville's urban coastal zone, around 400 metres from Sokha Beach, while active listings use Prince Mall as another practical reference. This is a dense, commercially active part of the city where apartments sit alongside hotels, retail and tourism businesses. That setting supports short stays and rental use, but it is not a secluded resort environment. A serious inspection should cover different times of day and test traffic, noise, operating shops and the actual condition of the shared areas.

Sources also agree that Star Bay was conceived as a multi-phase scheme. The project PDF names Xinghui Property Group and Thai Boon Roong Group, while ERA identifies Xing Hui Property on its profile. Other market pages refer to a joint structure or Star Bay Development. Rather than choosing one corporate description by convenience, a purchaser should identify the legal seller for the exact apartment, confirm that party's authority to transfer it, match the registered building name and review the title documents. The brand on the complex and the contracting entity are not necessarily the same thing.
There is meaningful evidence that the residential phase operates today. Sale and rental advertisements remain active in 2026, accommodation platforms market units under Star Bay Residence, and local photographs show furnished rooms, appliances, air conditioning and balconies. ERA associates completion with the first quarter of 2022, and Rumavi also reports completion and operation in 2022. One Riel record displays 2024, however, and parts of the wider master plan still look unfinished in recent imagery. The 2022 date therefore describes the delivered residential component more convincingly than it proves completion of every proposed tower and commercial element.
The published housing mix leans toward compact units. Riel lists studios of roughly 28–36 sqm, one-bedroom apartments of 45–58 sqm, two-bedroom layouts of 70–95 sqm and SOHO units of 30–50 sqm. ERA adds individual series with studios around 30–39 sqm and one-bedroom apartments around 48–69 sqm. Current operating-market listings broaden the picture further, including studios around 25–32 sqm and one-bedroom homes near 65–66 sqm. Differences may reflect the building, the measurement method or imperfect listing data. Contract and title areas must be checked for the selected property rather than inferred from a general brochure.
The stated amenity programme is resort-like but urban: swimming pools, fitness facilities, landscaped terraces, children's areas, spa functions, cafes, retail, parking, lifts, security, CCTV and backup power. Active 2026 listings separately mention a pool, fitness and 24-hour shops, which supports the operation of at least part of that programme. Access in a complex of this scale can still depend on the building, operator, service package and whether the user is an owner, tenant or short-stay guest. An amenity appearing on a project profile does not establish permanent or free access for every apartment.
Pricing also needs a clear separation between historic development material and the current resale market. Older profiles retain entry references around $55,000, but they do not establish that such stock remains available today on the same terms. The dated market anchor used here is a furnished studio advertised for $63,000 on July 18, 2026. Other listings show about $65,000 for a 32 sqm studio, while compact units are offered for rent from roughly $450 per month and one-bedroom apartments of about 66 sqm appear around $730–750 per month. These are asking prices, not recorded transactions or guaranteed returns. They help define the order of magnitude but do not replace checks on listing duration, negotiation, occupancy, utilities, management commission and the condition of the exact apartment. A fresh comparison of similar units in the same building and with a comparable view is needed before reservation.
Star Bay is best treated as a completed yet heterogeneous asset. Existing buildings, compact plans and an urban seaside location are its clearest strengths. The central diligence issue is inconsistency between phases rather than a total lack of information: sources quote approximately 1,500, 1,800, 1,956 or 5,000 units, describe six tower heights while also referring to a ten-building plan, and use different completion dates. The transaction should therefore be built around the chosen apartment number. Building, floor, view, registered area, title, outstanding charges, rental rules, management fees and the actual condition of facilities matter more than the broad master-plan story. The buyer should also request the selected building's charge and repair history, because facade, lift and engineering conditions can differ materially even between neighbouring towers in a complex of this size.

Unit types & sizes
Riel shows a core 28–36 sqm band, while ERA publishes studio series around 30–39 sqm. Smaller stated areas also appear in resale listings, so the selected unit's documents take priority over the headline range.
Riel quotes 45–58 sqm, while ERA includes series at 48–53, 65–69 and about 66 sqm. The spread points to several layout families rather than one standard one-bedroom product.
Riel publishes this band for the larger family-oriented apartments. Availability, exact area, view and building need confirmation through the live inventory and the seller's documents.
Riel separately identifies compact live-work formats. Commercial use cannot be assumed from the label alone; building rules, the registered use and management conditions require confirmation before purchase.
The ranges come from published project profiles rather than one current inventory sheet. Star Bay contains several buildings and layout series, and 2026 listings also show areas that do not perfectly match the development profiles. The chosen apartment requires a check of its plan, registered area, balcony position, view, building and fit-out condition.

Location
- The 2 Thnou Street address and the landmark next to Sokha Hotel are more useful than a broad district label.
- ERA and Rumavi place the complex about 400 metres from Sokha Beach; that is a source-reported figure and should be checked from the relevant entrance.
- Active listings use Prince Mall as an everyday reference, reinforcing the urban rather than isolated-resort nature of the setting.
- Sea views depend on building, floor and unit orientation, while surrounding construction can change how open the outlook remains.
- A large mixed-use site brings active commercial space and may produce different management standards from one building to another.

Best for: A buyer seeking a completed seaside apartment and willing to inspect the exact building rather than purchase from a master-plan presentation alone.; People who prefer compact studios or one-bedroom homes for personal use, long-term letting or a flexible mixed-use stay pattern.; Buyers who value city shops and services alongside beach access instead of a remote gated resort.; An investor prepared to verify title, short-stay rules, management charges and actual occupancy without treating advertised yields as established performance.; may not suit: Anyone looking for a low-density residential compound with one quiet courtyard and the same completion standard across every building.; A buyer who requires one undisputed total for units, floors and completion across the entire master plan.; An investor unwilling to examine the exact apartment or accept exposure to management quality, tourism demand and Sihanoukville market conditions..
What we confirm before booking
A short, specific to the project list. We request these from the developer and go through them with you before any payment.
- Verify building and phase number, occupancy/handover, legal developer, strata title, access to stated facilities, management, fees and actual operation of mixed-use components.
Disputed and unknown information
This keeps the open points in one place. A missing or disputed fact is not treated as a conclusion.
- Project scale is reported differently: sources quote roughly 1,500, 1,800, 1,956 or 5,000 units, while describing six tower heights and also a plan of up to ten buildings. The figures probably cover different phases, but no building-by-building documentary reconciliation was found.
- ERA and Rumavi associate the delivered residential component with 2022, while a Riel record displays 2024 and current photographs still show unfinished neighbouring structures. Completion needs confirmation for the selected building.
- Project and market profiles usually place Star Bay in Sangkat Buon, while some accommodation pages use Sangkat Bei. The contract should rely on the official administrative record and verify the legal seller, strata title and remaining foreign quota.
