Phnom Penh Cambodia Developer - JV: Naki Group (Cambodia) + Agile Group Holdings (Hong Kong-Listed)
Agile Naki Property Co., Ltd is a joint venture between Naki Group (Cambodia) and Agile Group Holdings (Hong Kong-listed, 3383.HK). This Agile Naki developer review covers their sole project: Agile Sky Residence Phnom Penh, a 45-storey, approximately 900-unit BKK3 condominium on Monivong Boulevard. The building is completed and operational. Important: Agile Group Holdings missed interest payments on offshore bonds in May 2024 and a winding-up petition was filed in December 2025 (hearing adjourned to 29 June 2026). Investors should conduct heightened due diligence. Strata title ownership for eligible foreign buyers. Our developer rating: 3.0 / 5.0.
Agile Group Holdings (3383.HK) missed interest payments on two offshore US-dollar bonds totalling about US$483 million in May 2024 and stated it was unable to meet its offshore debt obligations. A winding-up petition was filed in Hong Kong in December 2025. The most recently reported court hearing was adjourned to 29 June 2026. Investors should check the latest filings and court updates before relying on any older reports.
This does not automatically affect the completed Agile Sky Residence building in Phnom Penh, which is operational and managed locally. However, investors should consider potential implications for ongoing property management continuity, warranty obligations, corporate governance, and any financial exposure to the parent entity. The local Naki Group operates independently and has its own Cambodia track record. Verify all management arrangements and corporate structure independently before purchasing.

Developer Overview
Agile Naki Property Co., Ltd is a joint venture entity formed between two distinct companies. Naki Group is a Cambodian-American real estate company founded around 2010 by brothers Veasna and Sonnara Meas, who returned to Cambodia after studying in the United States. Naki Group's own track record includes Silvertown Metropolitan (a 111-unit luxury condominium completed in 2014), Woodland Residences (a luxury villa gated community), Borey Ravana (a 237-unit affordable housing project) and management of TK Avenue, reportedly the first boutique lifestyle mall in Cambodia.
The JV partner, Agile Group Holdings Limited (3383.HK), is a Hong Kong-listed Chinese property developer based in Guangdong province. The group was formerly described as a top-10 developer in China with reported operations across real estate, construction, property management, education and other sectors, reportedly covering over 100 cities globally. However, Agile Group missed interest payments on two offshore US-dollar bonds totalling about US$483 million in May 2024, stating it was unable to meet its offshore debt obligations. A winding-up petition was filed in Hong Kong in December 2025, with the most recently reported hearing adjourned to 29 June 2026.
Together, Agile Naki developed Agile Sky Residence, a 45-storey, approximately 900-unit condominium on Preah Monivong Boulevard in BKK3, Phnom Penh. This is the JV's sole project in Cambodia. The building is completed and operational, with units available on both the primary and resale market. Interiors were reportedly designed by Patrick Leung, an interior designer marketed as having won over 200 international awards.
You can purchase Cambodian property remotely using a Power of Attorney where needed. Many international investors complete the entire process without visiting Phnom Penh. Always confirm arrangements in writing and seek independent legal advice. Read the step-by-step remote buying guide.
Developer Rating Breakdown
Overall: 3.0 / 5.0 A completed BKK3 condominium with a functioning building and local management capability, but significantly impacted by the parent company's missed bond payments, winding-up petition, and ongoing financial distress. The building itself is real and operational. The corporate backing that once made this developer attractive has been materially weakened.
Agile Naki Projects
One project delivered by this JV entity. The local Naki Group has additional projects under its own name (Silvertown Metropolitan, Woodland Residences).
Agile Sky Residence
Ongoing ownership costs for Cambodian condominiums are often lower than comparable markets. Management fees, transfer costs and tax obligations vary by building and are subject to change. Always confirm current charges in writing before purchase. See the full ownership costs breakdown.
Investment Suitability
Agile Sky Residence may suit investors seeking an accessible entry point into a completed BKK3 building, but the parent company risk and high unit count require careful consideration. This is not a set-and-forget investment.
Strengths & Considerations
- Building is completed and operational - no off-plan delivery risk, can inspect before buying
- Central BKK3 location on Monivong Boulevard, adjacent to BKK1, on a major commercial thoroughfare
- Local Naki Group has independent Cambodia track record dating to 2014 (Silvertown Metropolitan)
- Accessible price point from approximately US$70,000 on resale
- Decent amenity package including sky pool, gym, sky bar, multiple lifestyle facilities
- Reportedly Patrick Leung interior design, soundproof windows, 9 high-speed lifts
- Parent Agile Group missed offshore bond payments (May 2024) and faces a winding-up petition filed December 2025 (hearing adjourned to 29 June 2026) The building is completed and the local Naki Group operates independently, but verify management arrangements and any corporate exposure
- ~900 units is very high density - creates significant internal competition for both rentals and resale High supply within the building means rental yields may be lower than headline figures suggest - model conservatively
- Bare shell units require additional investment (~US$18,000 for furnishing) to become liveable or rentable Factor the true all-in cost when comparing to headline purchase prices
- Single JV project with no further pipeline announced This limits the ability to assess repeat performance or long-term commitment to the Cambodia market
- BKK3 is adjacent to but not the same as BKK1 - rental demand and pricing differ BKK3 is a legitimate and growing district, but does not command BKK1 premiums
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Agile Naki Property Co?
Agile Naki Property Co., Ltd is a joint venture between Naki Group (a Cambodian-American real estate company founded around 2010) and Agile Group Holdings (a Hong Kong-listed Chinese developer, 3383.HK). The JV developed Agile Sky Residence in BKK3, Phnom Penh. Note that Agile Group Holdings defaulted on offshore bonds in May 2024. The local Naki Group operates independently. See our developer verification guide for how to assess corporate structures.
Has the parent company Agile Group defaulted on debt?
Yes. Agile Group Holdings missed interest payments on two offshore US-dollar bonds totalling about US$483 million in May 2024 and stated it was unable to meet its offshore debt obligations. A winding-up petition was filed in Hong Kong in December 2025, with the most recently reported hearing adjourned to 29 June 2026. Investors should check the latest filings and court updates before relying on any older reports. This does not automatically affect the completed building in Phnom Penh, but verify management arrangements, warranty status and any corporate exposure. See our developer verification guide.
Can foreigners buy at Agile Sky Residence?
Yes. Agile Sky Residence uses a strata title (co-owned building title) structure for eligible condo units. Foreign buyers can own eligible private units above the ground floor, subject to Cambodia's foreign ownership rules for co-owned buildings (including the 70% cap for private-unit area per building). This is unit ownership, not land ownership. With approximately 900 units in the building, verify quota availability and title issuance status before purchase. See our strata title ownership guide for full details.
What are units like at Agile Sky Residence?
Units range from studio (approximately 39 sqm) to three-bedroom (approximately 111 sqm), with the one-bedroom (approximately 57 sqm) being the most common type. Important: units may be available as bare shell (no finishes, tiles, kitchen or partition walls) or furnished. Bare shell units reportedly require a furnishing package of approximately US$18,000 to become liveable. Verify the exact condition and furnishing status of any unit before purchase.
Is approximately 900 units a lot for one building?
Yes, approximately 900 units is high density by Phnom Penh standards. For comparison, premium BKK1 condos typically have 100-300 units. A high unit count means more owners competing for the same tenant pool and resale buyers. This can put downward pressure on rental rates and make it harder to achieve quick resale. Model rental income conservatively and factor in vacancy periods. See our area investment guide for context.
Is Agile Sky Residence a good investment in 2026?
Agile Sky Residence is a completed, operational building in BKK3 with an accessible entry price (listed from approximately US$70,000 on resale). However, investors should weigh three significant factors: the parent Agile Group Holdings missed offshore bond payments in May 2024 and faces a winding-up petition (hearing adjourned to 29 June 2026); the building has approximately 900 units, creating high internal rental and resale competition; and bare shell units require approximately US$18,000 in furnishing costs. Model rental income conservatively, verify management continuity before purchasing, and compare with other BKK3 and BKK1 options.
