It seems to be a job here as well, according to this inspirational kids book

It was decided between myself and drinking buddies that Street 172 needs some kind of beautification. It really is a very nice street that just needs a bit of lover and care.

The traffic is awful and it should be restricted only to supplies. The road needs to be pedestrianized and the buildings need fresh new paint and pretty colours.

It could offer hope and increased business to the area.

It's up 2 business owners if they wanna persist in low sales due to peepers avoiding the area due to reasons outlined.It's only a matter of time b4 the area is bought up by foreign investment and churned into a "Riverside Kingdom of Malldom"

Progress, that's what is the governments and investors aim, here people like you and I see change that may affect us, simply by the places that gave us and our friends enjoyment in the past, environmental change sums up the situation of what you seem to be seeking, soon to be past but more now in limbo. I wonder what are the thoughts of business owners, in streets behind riverside. Yes, only time, once the planned development starts on the riverside its self, there is bound to be more change to such streets nearby.
It’s not very often I go to the area, but last night I found myself there, street 172 sat at a street side restaurant table, eating pasta accompanied with a cold glass of draft. With the establishment closing for the evening, on receiving pizza too take away, I settle payment due.
I decided to have a ride around the area, see what was happening around some areas, first I went down street 51 via Central market, the Nana hotel now has its new signage in place. I knew some time ago Chinese had bought the place, a friend visiting the city was reluctantly given the key to a room, a hotel he had stayed over past years. Street 51 seemed busy has I rode down. Once past the Pontoon club the road is dark and quiet very little traffic, across Preah Sihanouk Blvd. Dance Bakery & Cafe BKK1. I find myself now in a mixed cultural area, western, possibly helped along with the Mad monkey nearby. But, with choice of pastry's, such as dark cherry cheese cake and custard's that give me a taste of back home (Yorkshire), the bakery is open 24 hours, I sat outside for some time, with raisin bread and coke, the cakes here are very good. The night air was very cool on the 28th, more so when I arrived on Koh Pich. Unicity is coming along with progressive development. Any members have comments or remarks of this project?

I like the planning, design of Architecture, progression of its build. Unicity, I think is an adventurous build "too say the least". Does it belong? More to the question who does it belong too, and what of its business runners and renters or buyers, more so its expected customer base.
And what of the show piece, "Wow" the Simplex, definition is - simple, single.

I personally have mixed views on developments, if this and others I have not seen are of this calibre, they are here to stay! where I may possibly not if, living costs escalate like the progressive building, but mainly what I observed with the moto ride towards road 1 and home, Chber Ampov, was how many Chinese businesses have opened, and how many Chinese people I observed. Yes, change to the capital city Phnom Penh.

It belongs to Canadia Bank.

Surely, somewhere in town there must be a female Puerto Rican bartender with all the solutions.

Looks cool but the real question is whether the economic pass through effect impacted a large number of local businesses and people. there are a lot of locals experiencing gains but from my limited understanding, these minoliths were designed for foreigners with kaching... The funny thing is that the wealthy tend not to buy when it's a bad investment unless there is another reason behind the acquisition...

Influx of Chinese money I reckon is more short term.. albeit still positive but I'm one to advocate for long term growth initiatives..
