opens Cambodia office | About Knight Frank Cambodia
London, UK – Knight Frank has opened a full service office in Cambodia, South East Asia, as it continues its global growth strategy.
Located in the capital city of Phnom Penh, Knight Frank will provide full global real estate consultancy services including: valuations, research consultancy, investment sales, agency and project marketing, asset and facilities management, development consultancy, corporate real estate and global tenant solutions.
The office will be led by Eric Y H Ooi, chairman, Knight Frank Cambodia, with Sarkunan Subramaniam, director and Keith Ooi, country head. Two managers have also been appointed: Teh Young Khean and Sorn Seap.
Nick Thomlinson, senior partner, Knight Frank said: “After Vietnam, Cambodia is the next emerging economy in the region and therefore it is an opportune time for us to be opening an office to take advantage of the country’s tremendous economic and real estate growth. As foreign investment rushes into the country, there is already a demand for international professional real estate services especially in advisory and consultancy work. We continue with our strategy to expand our global service offering.”
Knight Frank’s Asia Pacific business consists of 39 offices in eleven countries and employs more than 2,000 staff (see Notes to Editors). The office opening is in response to global client demand.
Eric Ooi, chairman, Knight Frank Cambodia said: “Investors, in particular foreign, require the best advice on development and investment proposals. As the banking sector continues its impressive growth in tandem with the economy, there is an increasing need for independent and competent valuations at an international standard. We have in place the best and experienced team to provide such advice to our clients. By opening in Cambodia, we complement both our already established Asia Pacific operations and those in the rest of the world.”
Knight Frank Cambodia’s office is located at Unit 121, 1st Floor, Block A, Phnom Penh Center, St Sihanouk 274 Corner Blvd Sothearos 3, Phnom Penh.
