Phnom Penh is a city in motion. Tower cranes line the skyline, new districts are taking shape, and international brands are beginning to plant their flags across the capital. Among these changes, one development stands out as both a statement and a story of where Cambodia is headed… And that is ODOM.
In our interview with Ty Chea, Head of International Agency Expansion at Urban Living Solutions (ULS Cambodia), an #IPStv Developer Spotlight episode, Ty highlighted how ODOM is designed to be more than just another project. It is a vertical village that combines heritage, modern design, and a clear vision for the future.
Premium Vision, Premium Location
ODOM was imagined as more than just a set of towers. It is a high-end vertical community where homes, Grade-A offices, commercial spaces, and green areas come together to create a complete lifestyle in one address.
“ODOM is a high-end mixed-use vertical community, with two towers for residential and commercial use,” Ty explained. “It combines homes, offices, and retail with community spaces and greenery, creating a complete lifestyle in one address.”
Location is just as important as concept. ULS chose Norodom Boulevard for its unique blend of prestige and practicality. Only 800 meters from Independence Monument and surrounded by embassies and government institutions, it is both a strategic hub and a cultural landmark.
Or in Ty’s words, “ODOM and Norodom is a match made in real estate heaven.”
Design Inspired by Heritage, Built for Tomorrow
The architecture draws inspiration from Cambodia’s Angkorian past, with a façade reminiscent of Angkor stone and interiors designed for openness and flow. In doing so, ODOM connects heritage with modern urban life.
ULS is pursuing LEED Gold certification for ODOM, placing the project among the most ambitious green developments in the country. This commitment to sustainable design sets a new benchmark in Cambodia, introducing international standards of efficiency, environmental responsibility, and community-focused spaces.
“Pursuing LEED Gold certification is about setting a benchmark for sustainable development in Cambodia, spaces that are environmentally friendly, efficient, and community focused,” Ty emphasized.
Cambodia at the Turning Point
The decision in building ODOM at this moment when Cambodia is entering a new chapter is no accident. Cambodia is one of Southeast Asia’s most compelling growth stories.
“Would you rather invest in a country that’s grown, or one that’s still growing, that is Cambodia?” Ty said.
He went on to compare Cambodia to Thailand or Vietnam markets 20 to 30 years ago, when they were still in their early growth stages but are now well-established. Cambodia today is at a similar stage with significant room to grow.
“With a young population, steady economic growth, and pro-investment policies, Cambodia is strategically placed in Southeast Asia and full of opportunity,” he added.
What Sets ODOM Apart
ODOM’s vision is to build a community within the city, a place where living, working, and leisure are all part of the same address. From the residential tower and strata-title Grade-A offices to ODOM Square retail, IHG Vignette Collection Hotel, and private members clubs, it is designed as a self-sustaining community.
As Ty described it, “ODOM is a complete ecosystem. You can live, work, shop, relax, and be entertained all in one place. It’s LEED-certified, offers 100 percent strata-title ownership, and for select investors, guaranteed returns with exit strategies.”
The Takeaway
ODOM is more than a development. For ULS Cambodia, it is a symbol of Cambodia’s ambition, rooted in heritage and built with a vision for the future. It reflects how Phnom Penh is stepping forward as a modern capital with the confidence to stand on the global stage.
For buyers, ODOM offers more than ownership. It offers the chance to be part of that story as it unfolds.
“ODOM is more than just a building. It’s a landmark that tells both Cambodia’s past and its future, a development that can change mindsets and perceptions, showing the world that Cambodia has arrived.” Ty Chea, ULS Cambodia
