Urban Living Solutions
Cambodia's most awarded independent developer — 1,000+ homes delivered, 30+ international awards, and ODOM: the country's first LEED Gold mixed-use tower on Norodom Boulevard.
Note on 'Urban Hub' and the Goldfame Joint Venture
Urban Village Phase 1 and Phase 2 were developed under 'Urban Hub (Cambodia) Co., Ltd.', a joint venture between Urban Living Solutions and Hong Kong's Goldfame Group. ULS and Urban Hub Cambodia are closely related but legally distinct entities. All ULS-branded projects are included here; buyers should confirm which entity is the contracting party for Urban Village purchases. A planned Urban Village Phase 3 (~2,000 units) is mentioned on the ULS website but has no confirmed launch as of mid-2026.
អំពី Urban Living Solutions
Urban Living Solutions (ULS) was founded in 2016 by Kim 'Leang' Kean — a Cambodian-American entrepreneur who was born and raised in Cambodia, spent about a decade in the United States, and returned to Phnom Penh in 2004. His stated mission was to build community-centered urban spaces for Cambodia's rapidly urbanising emerging middle class, captured in the company's motto: 'Building Communities for a New Cambodia.'
ULS's first project, Urban Loft (182 condos + 21 shophouses, Phnom Penh), began construction in January 2017 and handed over in July 2019 — 100% sold at a then-exceptional median of $1,311/sqm, proving Cambodian urban residents would embrace community-amenity condo living. Its second project, Urban Village Phase 1 (828 condos) — developed under the Urban Hub (Cambodia) Co., Ltd. joint venture with Hong Kong's Goldfame Group — sold out in under a year and anchored the 3.4-hectare Factory Phnom Penh creative campus that doubles as ULS's HQ. Urban Village Phase 2 (1,700 units, designed by Atelier Cole of England, 45% greening) completed in 2024 and is 78% sold.
In Siem Reap, ULS delivered Bakong Village (a 4.7-ha Khmer-village masterplan of villas and shophouses, completed 2020) and Rose Apple Square (condos + strata offices + the 'Commune' co-living concept, completed Q3 2022, 95% sold) — the latter winning the Asia Pacific Property Awards Best Mixed-Use Residence 2023-2024. ULS's flagship, ODOM on Norodom Boulevard (a 45-storey office tower + 22-storey residential tower + 5-floor podium), is LEED Gold pre-certified — Cambodia's first — and brings the IHG Vignette Collection hotel, Japan's Tsutaya Bookstore and the Royal Thai Consulate to a single address, targeting completion in 2027.
With 30+ confirmed international awards — including the first-ever Cambodia project to win Best Condo Development in Asia at PropertyGuru (2019) — ULS is the only Cambodian-founded developer of its scale to combine LEED sustainability, global institutional partnerships, and a consistent sell-through record.
- Cambodia's most internationally awarded independent developer — 30+ confirmed wins across PropertyGuru Asia, International Property Awards, Asia Pacific Property Awards and Cambodia Real Estate Awards
- First Cambodia-based project ever to win Best Condo Development in Asia (PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards 2019)
- Only Cambodian-founded developer of its scale — led by Kim 'Leang' Kean with the mission 'Building Communities for a New Cambodia'
- Over 1,000 homes delivered across Phnom Penh and Siem Reap with strong sell-through (Urban Loft 100%, Urban Village P1 sold out in <1 year, Rose Apple Square 95%, Urban Village P2 78%)
- ODOM (Norodom Blvd) is Cambodia's first LEED Gold pre-certified luxury mixed-use development
- ODOM brings the IHG Vignette Collection hotel, Japan's Tsutaya Bookstore and the Royal Thai Consulate to Cambodia for the first time
- Factory Phnom Penh — a 3.4-ha open creative campus and ULS HQ — is one of Phnom Penh's most iconic community placemaking projects
Developer Style
Community-first master planning: pedestrian-oriented layouts, high greening rates (40–50%), natural ventilation and pet-friendly design, paired with ground-level retail activation, co-working and 'Sky Village' community pods. ULS uses architectural competitions and international design partners (Atelier Cole, England; Singaporean team for ODOM), and an asset-light JV model with landowners.

Common buyer questions
Verify before purchase
- Confirm ODOM pricing, unit availability and the 2027 completion timeline directly with the developer — it is a pre-sale, under-construction project.
- Verify title status (Hard / Strata / Freehold) and foreign-ownership eligibility at the Ministry of Land Management before signing.
- Request the full payment plan, downpayment and installment schedule in writing.
- Inspect the actual unit/site before committing — Urban Village Phase 2 and the Siem Reap projects are completed and viewable.
- Confirm which legal entity (ULS or Urban Hub Cambodia) is the contracting party for Urban Village projects.
