A new entertainment and leisure centre has opened in Phomh Penh, constructed on the old Boeung Kak lake site. The concept for the development is based on Singapore's trendy Clarke Quay.


CBD chic: Eden Garden brings entertainment one-stop-shop to Phnom Penh
27 April 2017 | 10:24 ICT
A high-end food, beverage and entertainment precinct loosely modelled after Singapore’s popular nightlife destination Clarke Quay is set to make its mark on Phnom Penh with the hopes of putting it on the tourist map.

The multi-million dollar complex is one of the projects being developed in the massive Phnom Penh City Center (PPCC), a sprawling mixed-use development that has sprung up in the former Boeung Kak lake, and which is branding itself as Phnom Penh’s next and only central business district.

Eden Garden, when completed, will be a 21,560 square-metre retail, entertainment and dining outlet that its investor’s – British Khmer Engineering (B.K.E) Construction Group – director Faz Ghotbi says will emerge as a big draw card for locals and tourists seeking a swanky place to hang out.
“We are targeting a mix of locals, expats and tourists,” he told Post Property.
