Meet the Manager

Reid Kirchenbauer has lived in Asia for fifteen years, and has managed real estate investment projects in Cambodia since 2016.

In this video, Reid shows why Cambodia and its capital city of Phnom Penh are positioned for immense growth in the coming decades.

Why Invest in Cambodia?

Asia's Best Economy

Cambodia has averaged GDP growth of more than 7% over the past ten years, ranking it one of Asia’s fastest growing countries. 

There aren’t signs of Cambodia slowing down. The World Bank and IMF predict it’ll remain Southeast Asia’s fastest-growing economy until at least 2025.

High Rental Yields

Property in Cambodia has some of the world’s highest yields. Returns exceeding 8% annually are common in both commercial and residential sectors alike. 

A rising middle class, large supply of well-paid expats, and lots of foreign retirees equals high demand for rental units in Phnom Penh. 

Robust Demographics

With an average age of 25, Cambodia is undergoing a population boom that will last for decades. Millions of people are moving from rural
areas into cities. 

Demographic trends rarely change once set in motion. Combined, these factors necessitate rising demand for real estate.

Business Friendliness

Foreigners can own 100% of almost any type of business in Cambodia. It’s easy to start a company, buy real estate, and get a long-term visa here. 

Tax rates in Cambodia also are among Asia’s lowest. Rental income is taxed at a flat 12% and capital gains tax doesn’t exist.

Recession Avoidance

Cambodia has a long, history of recession avoidance spanning several decades.

Of course, a truly “recession-proof” country doesn’t exist. With that said, Cambodia’s long record of avoiding crises in the past makes its economy suitable as a diversification hedge.

Rising Property Values

Cambodia will see greater demand for housing over time. Prime real estate costs about US$1,000 per sqm in some cases.

Phnom Penh has some of the world’s least expensive property values for any capital city. Prices have few places to go except upward.

Skip the Next Western Recession

Cambodia’s economy is less correlated with the rest of the world. They’ve avoided almost every recession in the past three decades.

Skipping the Asian Financial Crisis of the 1990s, the tech bubble in the early 2000s along with the 2008 Global Recession, Cambodia has proven its resilience over a long period of time.

Southeast Asia’s Final Frontier

Located in the heart of Southeast Asia, Cambodia has over 4 billion people on its doorstep.

Frontier markets have the potential for strong growth, but often need a catalyst to start it off. Cambodia benefits from its robust tourism sector – something very few other frontier markets have.

Home to Angkor Wat, the world’s largest temple, Cambodia receives millions of international tourists annually.

Rapid urbanization is a main driver of Cambodia’s real estate market. The nation’s capital of Phnom Penh now has a population of about 2.5 million.

By the year 2035, this number will more than double to above 5 million. Ongoing migration of people from rural areas into cities naturally leads to rising demand for prime real estate.

Cambodia’s is also the youngest country in Southeast Asia. Its average age of just 25 years old helps ensure a productive workforce and rising population for at least the next several decades.

This forms the basis for an uncorrelated investment. Unlike the overall global economy’s whims, demographic growth is rather predictable and rarely changes its path once set in motion.
