Sihanoukville Transforming Progress

 


The blueprint for Ream City in Cambodia's Sihanoukville province, aiming to transform the region into an exciting attraction, was recently announced. With a beachfront that stretches for more than 6 kilometres, this large-scale development will include a sustainable ecosystem of tourism, commercial, and residential activity, with the capacity to house up to 130,000 people.

The 834-ha project is being developed by Canopy Sands Development, or Canopy Sands Cambodia, a member of the Cambodian conglomerate Prince Holding Group, and will include family attractions, condominiums, landed and beachfront homes and affordable housing estates, shopping malls, business hubs, beach resorts, hotels, condotels, yacht and marina club.

The completion of the concept, which was undertaken by Singapore-based Surbana Jurong Group, is a significant step toward making Ream City a reality. Learn more

“We are currently preparing for downstream developments, including utilities and road infrastructure as well as secondary developments. This will require sourcing the right consultants to assist us in conceptualising and designing what will be an iconic development. We will make announcements at a later stage,” said Khong Weng Fook, managing director of Canopy Sands Development.

According to Mr Khong, Ream City will be created in three parts over a period of more than 20 years.

The first phase, or start-up phase, of a 50-ha project is expected to be finished in 2025. “It will comprise the main components of our Integrated Resort complex, including MICE facilities and hotels. Residential developments are also planned to cater to the expected demand.”

Phase 2 is a 357-ha project that will be completed in 2035, while Phase 3 is a 427-ha project that will be completed in 2045.

Cambodia Artisanal Skills Project

  Many people's working life have been altered as a result of the global pandemic, including those in Cambodia. As a good corporate citizen, Chairman Neak Oknha Chen Zhi (陈志公爵) and Prince Group established the Prince Horology Vocational Training Center, Cambodia's first independent watch school. The training centre provides Cambodians with the opportunity to master a new artisanal skill – watchmaking – and gain the expertise needed to compete in job markets in Cambodia and abroad. The training institution adheres to the strict watchmaking criteria specified by Swiss regulatory organisations. Cambodia, as a country steeped in history, has long preserved artisanal skills for generations, with the Kingdom well-known for its ancient handwoven silk and traditional handicraft industries boasting a heritage dating back to the Khmer Empire, a significance that Chen Zhi and Prince Group have always understood and appreciated. However, new artisanal skills must be introduced to improve

ESG Principles Applied

  The importance of environmental, social, and governance ("ESG") practises at companies around the world has been highlighted at COVID-19. However, even before the pandemic, there was talk of change. Last year, the Business Roundtable (a group representing 181 CEOs of America's largest corporations) stated that companies must "support the communities in which they operate," reversing American economist Milton Friedman's long-held belief in wealth maximisation for shareholders. Times have changed in 2020. This year, Prince Holding Group ("PHG"), one of Cambodia's largest conglomerates, realised this and paved the way for other companies in the country to follow ESG principles. Since April, the Group has made a number of large donations to aid in the fight against the pandemic and flood victims, and Neak Oknha Chen Zhi (陈志公爵) was the driving force behind the donations. Chen Zhi and PHG, for example, donated US$3 million to Prime Minister Hun Se
