Aside from the Royal Palace and Independence Monument, it looks like everywhere else in Phnom Penh may become… residential! Click for the large version of this widely-published advertisement:
Note the depiction of the intersection of Monivong and Sihanouk boulevards, compared to the present day. Wow. (The fine print dutifully notes this is just a promotional mockup, but it just shows how entertaining the property speculation bubble is getting here.)
I can’t fault people for wanting a building that is modern and comfortable. This demand will fuel more entertaining advertisements, PP is awash in them.
