In 2017, 13 participating companies represented more than 30 projects with Borey Peng Huoth Group nabbing its second consecutive Best Developer (Cambodia) award.
Hari V. Krishnan, CEO of PropertyGuru Group: “The growth of the Cambodian real estate and construction sectors in recent years has been remarkable, and we are delighted to continue our focus on one of Southeast Asia’s rapidly emerging property markets.”
