They're Coming
Downtown, uptown, and around town. Housing developments, office parks, shopping malls. Joining the thousands of hotels, restaurants, and existing, but unplanned development.
Everywhere you look around town, a new building is going up, or an old one is being torn down.
2014 was the year of Mini-Marts, Massage places, hotel, and townhouse / apartments / condos. 2015 saw more massage places and hotels. 2016 started just like the last 2 years. 2017 is going to be much the same but with many more large scale projects. 2018 and it's just complete mayhem. Marriott is building a couple buildings by the sea. One will be 53 floors. 30 new casinos have popped up this year, and another dozen or more are being built. One project on Otres Beach has 17 fixed cranes working day and night. But the buildings are getting taller, and the Chinese owned casinos are popping up like mushrooms! Many existing hotels have been taken off-line to make room for the casino staff and customers and on-line gambling operations. 2019 and more of the same. But now not much public electricity, public sewers, public water, and a 5 minute drive from downtown to most of the beaches takes an hour or more.
A new road (or upgrading the existing road), Route 4, from here to Phnom Penh is planned. Started already
A new road from the SihanoukVille Airport to Downtown is finished ( but undriveable)
The railway has regularly scheduled trips from SihanoukVille to Phnom Penh, freight and passengers trains. (a few days a week)
Flights now come from China and Vietnam, Malaysia, Bangkok, as well as other Cambodian airports.
The Sea Port is increasing capacity, and throughput is rapidly expanding every year.
Most importantly, our local brewery, Cambrew, home of the World Famous Angkor Beer, is now the BIGGEST brewery in ALL of Asia.!
Even the Cambodian Islands are being developed at a rapid pace.
The links to the left are old now, and many have been finished. We've stopped putting up new places, 'cause there're too many of them and they're mostly targeted to the Chinese community only.
