Time Square 9, Or The Gatsby Residence, Is Coming Soon — A New Chapter of Refined Living in BKK1 of Phnom Penh

Written By chheng leang

Opportunities to own in BKK1, Phnom Penh’s most established and desirable residential district, are becoming increasingly rare. As land availability tightens and mature neighborhoods reach saturation, new projects that genuinely stand out — in both concept and credibility — deserve closer attention.

One such upcoming development is Time Square 9, also known as The Gatsby Residence — a project now quietly preparing for its official launch.

A Prime Address in the Heart of BKK1

Time Square 9 is planned along Street 278, BKK1, a location highly valued for its walkability and long-term livability. This address places future residents within close reach of:

  • International cafés and fine dining

  • Embassies and professional offices

  • Medical facilities and lifestyle services

  • One of Phnom Penh’s most stable residential communities

For both homeowners and long-stay tenants, BKK1 continues to offer unmatched convenience and enduring appeal.

The Concept: The Gatsby Residence

Unlike conventional high-rise developments, Time Square 9 introduces a Gatsby / Art-Deco-inspired design concept — one that emphasizes timeless elegance over short-term trends.

The project aims to deliver:

  • A refined urban atmosphere

  • Thoughtful architectural detailing

  • Residences designed for long-term living, not speculation

This approach positions Time Square 9 as a lifestyle residence rather than just another city condominium.

What Is Known So Far

While full specifications will be released closer to launch, confirmed information includes:

  • Project Name: Time Square 9 – The Gatsby Residence

  • Location: Street 278, BKK1, Phnom Penh

  • Building Height: Approximately 36 storeys

  • Total Residences: Around 500 units

  • Unit Mix: From efficient layouts starting at approximately 57 sqm to large multi-bedroom sky residences

  • Indicative Pricing: From around USD 1,700 per sqm

  • Ownership: Eligible for foreign buyers under strata title

These fundamentals place Time Square 9 firmly within the upper mid-range to premium segment of BKK1.

Lifestyle & Facilities

Designed as a full-service urban residence, the project is expected to feature:

  • Rooftop swimming pool

  • Sky bar with city views

  • Modern fitness centre

  • Children’s play areas

  • Landscaped communal spaces

  • Secure parking and 24/7 security

The emphasis is on comfort, privacy, and everyday quality of life.

The Developer Behind the Project

Time Square 9 is developed by Megakim World Corp Ltd, a well-established real estate developer with more than a decade of experience in Cambodia.

Megakim is best known for its “Time Square” series, with multiple successfully completed and ongoing projects across Phnom Penh, including BKK1, Toul Kork, and Toul Tom Poung — and most recently expanding into Sihanoukville with its first beachfront high-rise development.

Over the years, the developer has built a reputation for:

  • Consistent project delivery

  • Practical, liveable layouts

  • Strategic location selection

  • Strong market absorption across multiple launches

This track record provides an added layer of confidence for buyers considering upcoming projects like Time Square 9.

Who Time Square 9 Is Likely For

Based on its location, concept, and developer profile, Time Square 9 is expected to appeal to:

  • Homeowners seeking a refined city residence in BKK1

  • Long-stay expatriates and professionals who value walkability and services

  • Design-conscious buyers looking for identity, not generic towers

  • Investors focused on stable, long-term rental demand rather than short-term speculation

Why Early Attention Matters

Well-positioned projects in BKK1 typically move quickly once officially launched — particularly preferred layouts and view-oriented units.

I am currently preparing early-interest updates for clients who would like:

  • Priority information as details are released

  • Guidance on layouts suitable for living versus rental

  • Early conversations with the developer when reservations open
