The tallest buildings in Cambodia: here’s what you need to know

The list of the tallest buildings in Cambodia starts with Vattanac Capital

Cambodia may not be the first place that springs to mind when you think about skyscrapers, but they are arriving in Phnom Penh. The skyline still remains relatively modest when compared to other Southeast Asian capitals, however, the past decade has brought with it several skyscrapers. A few developers have announced plans for new towers that can politely be described as outlandish, but just may join the list of the tallest buildings in Cambodia one day.

Mixed-use

Location: Phnom Penh, Cambodia

Height: 561 meters (1,843 feet)

Expected Completion: TBD

Thai Boon Roong Twin Tower Trade Center were first launched in 2016 and would surpass the Petronas Twin Towers as the world’s largest twin towers if completed. Notice the word “if” in that sentence. The project has already been delayed multiple times and most models look like something straight from the computer game Sim City 2000. The last updated from the developer was in 2019 when they said the project was still on but wasn’t sure when construction would begin.
