Migration and population growth to power supply of residential properties in Cambodian metropolis
Landed residential properties in Phnom Penh will have numbered 450,000 units by 2030, according to recent research from valuation company VTrust Appraisal via RealEstate.com.kh.
The Cambodian capital is currently home to 150,000 landed residences, but housing supply in the city is expected to grow at a rate of nine percent, according to the VTrust Appraisal report Phnom Penh 2030.
“Rapid growth of population in the city and an increasing influx of new incoming migrants who come from different parts of the country to settle down in the city will drive more demand for houses in Phnom Penh,” said VTrust Appraisal’s research director Hoem Seiha.
