Knight Frank Cambodia

What Knight Frank Cambodia does

Knight Frank Cambodia is the Cambodia office of Knight Frank LLP, the UK-headquartered global real estate consultancy founded in 1896, with the local entity (Knight Frank (Cambodia) Pte Ltd) established in 2000. Headquartered in a single office at Canadia Tower in Phnom Penh, the firm is positioned as the only global real estate consultancy with a permanent local office in Cambodia. It provides integrated real estate services across residential (buying, selling, renting, leasing), commercial (office, retail, industrial), and specialized advisory service lines including capital markets, development consultancy, occupier strategy and solutions, project management, property management, valuation and advisory, hospitality advisory, industrial and logistics, land advisory, and mixed-use advisory.

The firm generates revenue through two primary streams: commission-based brokerage on residential and commercial transactions (sales, purchases, leasing, rentals), and professional services fees for RICS formal valuations, development consultancy, and property management. Pricing is opaque and quote-based; RICS formal valuations are billed pay-as-you-go with fees agreed in advance, while free market appraisals are used as a lead-generation tool. Go-to-market combines enterprise field sales for corporate occupiers and institutional investors (KPMG, Chevron, foodpanda, Manulife, Grant Thornton, TotalEnergies) with a self-serve property listing website for individual consumers and cross-border referrals funneled through Knight Frank's global network.

Knight Frank Cambodia operates without proprietary technology platforms, relying on the parent's global network infrastructure, research databases, and digital listing systems. It contributes to several proprietary research publications including the Cambodia Real Estate Highlights, Data Centres: The Cambodia Report, Cambodia Residential Relocation Guide, and the Prime Phnom Penh Development Land Index, alongside the parent firm's global Wealth Report, Active Capital, and (Y)our Space.
