Siem Reap Condo Market Trends 2025

Siem Reap’s condominium market , as compared to Phnom Penh or Sihanoukville, has a unique real estate dynamic at play; meaning that it reflects a totally different investment climate to Phnom Penh city.

Due to the laws that protect the UNESCO heritage-listed Angkor Wat temple complex, Siem Reap city has a height restriction in place which limits construction to a maximum height of just six stories. As condo developers need to build upwards to ensure profitable developments, this height restriction is a major barrier to entry for developers wanting to undertake new projects in the Siem Reap market.

With a total of only 3 strata-titled condo projects in the Siem Reap condo market as of 2025, there is a very low supply of condo units available in the city. In addition to this low supply, there is a high demand; and this high demand has been demonstrated with the strong sales that have been achieved by projects in the Siem Reap market in recent years.

Two major condo developments in Siem Reap, Rose Apple Square and Angkor Grace Residence & Wellness Resort , for instance, launched their off-plan sales just one month prior to the outbreak of Covid. Despite this timing, both projects achieved very high sales throughout the Covid period, almost selling out within just 3 years of launch.

As of 2025, Siem Reap still has a very low supply of condos, and as demand remains strong, some investors are already seeing capital gains on the resale of their condos. This demand is both local and international, and buyers from all over the world are buying condos in the city. Unlike Phnom Penh, Siem Reap has not been dominated by Chinese investments or end investors and remains a melting pot of international investor’s attracted to the tourist town.

Outside of condos, many foreign investors in Siem Reap target high-quality landed Villas, held under long term leaseholds, nominee structures or via Trust hold. While there is a significant supply of western quality villas in Siem Reap, demand still outweighs supply.

Underpinning the Siem Reap real estate market is its global reputation as a prime travel destination.  Home to the famous Temples of Angkor Wat as well as a host of other tourism amenities, the city appears assured to continue its growth in foreign investment in coming years, as well as expatriate relocations in the rental segment.  Thanks to a bustling tourism economy, the city has a strong flow of both long-term renters but also short stay travelers. This allows landlords and developments to achieve particularly high annual rental yields.

Siem Reap also offers a laid back and relaxing atmosphere compared to urban hubs such as Phnom Penh, which is often preferred by live-in investors, retirees and those seeking vacation property investments in the city.

The Siem Reap condominium market is evolving based on strong growth in international tourism, vacation rental opportunities for investors and a growing number of short and long-term expatriate residents in the city.
