D. I. Riviera, and maybe you
^ That was slightly better. Keep at it.
For westerners, that looks like plain stupid. Though when keeping in mind, the major target of their potential customers will probably rich Chinese or rich Chinese-Khmer people, that Ali-baba English isn't that bad. It's the same crippled English the potential customers speak and are used to.LexusSchmexus wrote:....
And why the hell did they get some Chinese guy to do the English-speaking when they could have given any local English teacher 50$ to proof-read the script and read it out normally? God, what idiots.
Same, same India English: English words, though trying to get hold of what they say ? Hmmmm, not a clue. Though the Indians are happy with it.
You do think in convenience.LexusSchmexus wrote:.... Location-wise the place is great. Quick access to the riverside/downtown, two bridges, large roads (and large boulevards on the other side).
Rich (Chinese-) Khmer don't think in "convenience", but largely about "being seen at an expensive Compound" (or being known to live there).
Again, the green stuff or bad construction is not important for rich Asian people. It's all about being seen at a location being considered expensive.LexusSchmexus wrote:... The possibility for some green space. I don't see it has being a place where many foreigners would want to live, at least initially, but khmer families love the place. It essentially gives you suburb space within the downtown core. A lot of the construction is shoddy though (especially just over the bridge) and that weird "Italian" architecture (near the park) is kind of lame imo.....
1.5 Years ago, I was in Taiwan. The cities are huge, high-rise, very expensive housing and just outside the city boundaries, you only see some small old buildings, nobody seems wanting to live outside the city, only some poor people. I asked about that, the why. And got the above explanation: Westerners want to live in the green, free area's, that signals "being rich". In Asia, people want to be seen by as much as possible people, when they do drive into their over expensive apartmentbuildings, that signals "being rich" for Asian people.
It's a completely different mindset for Asian people vs. Westerners.

He's only asking for the prices. Why aren't you prepared to tell us?

why would anyone ask you questions about it when your posts make you sound like a paranoid, scammy weirdo? I was hoping someone else might be able to shed some light on the topic because frankly I wouldn't be able to trust any info from you.
if I was in PP I would probably pop into the sales office when I had some free time to find out for myself but I'm not. and it really is just curiosity at this stage because I'm not in the market for this kind of thing right now.
my friend is selling some units on that condo, but he told me prices start from $100,000 or so. but if you want higher levels it will be much more expensive. oh found a copy from his website.

What will the service charges be? Fine to state that "5-Star" hotel-like services will be offered, presumably with such luxuries as a white concierge in a bow tie, but as with anywhere in the world these must be paid for month in, month out. I wonder if that has even been considered or if they hope to make enough from offering the leisure facilities to the public and make a profit on that. If that is the case, however, how long before they start to look like VIP Sport's Club on a Saturday evening?
in my opinion real estate investments should be evaluated at the ROI (after tax) for example if the 100k apartment can be rented out for 800$ month (minus tax and maintenance) will yield about 7% which is a good ROI, considering that you could add a fairly decent increase in the building value it is not bad.
However if you have to pay already and maybe wait years for it to be finished (if ever) it could be a really bad investment unless the value raises fast. I think that the value of the houses is not proportionate to income and rents, which is a bad warning sign in the middle term. Very short term investments are good (if the taxes and fees are much lower that the capital gains) but still risky, long term investments in Cambodia will very likely be good but i would invest in low cost properties or land rather than high end apartments which are more likely to be sensible to an unstable housing market.

I dont think that rich Chinese will invest here, they buy in stable developed countries like France, the US and Australia. Desirable countries that give their chidren a future.
Current instability will cruel property prices soon.
