Developer Overview

Megakim World Corp Ltd entered Cambodia's condominium market during its early development cycle and has grown into one of Phnom Penh's most recognisable mid-tier developers. The company operates with strong Taiwanese investment and development influence, bringing efficient structural design and well-planned unit layouts drawn from mature Asian markets.

The Time Square brand has become a staple among urban residents seeking value-driven living, attracting young professionals, expatriates, families and long-term tenants. With multiple completed buildings and stable rental absorption, Megakim has demonstrated consistent delivery capability across Phnom Penh's growth districts.

The company is now expanding into Sihanoukville with Time Square 10 and has just announced Time Square 11 in BKK3, marking continued confidence in both the capital and the emerging coastal market.

Proven track record with five completed residential towers and consistent handover history
Investor-friendly payment plans with low reservation fees and extended instalment options
Rental yields of 6-9% across Time Square projects, with up to 11% marketed on Time Square 11 (developer claim, verify independently)
Foreign ownership eligible on strata title units one floor above the ground floor (70% foreign quota per building)
Taiwanese-influenced design prioritising practical layouts and consistent construction quality
Multi-city expansion with active projects across Phnom Penh and Sihanoukville's coastal market
Sihanoukville - investor awareness. Sihanoukville remains a higher-volatility market compared to established Phnom Penh districts. However, it offers Cambodia's only significant beachfront access and benefits from major government-backed infrastructure investment including the new expressway and international airport expansion. For investors with a longer time horizon, the coastal positioning provides a unique opportunity that Phnom Penh projects cannot replicate. We recommend additional due diligence for this location - see our due diligence checklist.
Did you know?
Developers with multiple completed projects in Cambodia offer the strongest track record evidence for off-plan buyers. A consistent handover history across different locations and market cycles is one of the most reliable indicators of future delivery. See the full ownership costs breakdown.

Rating Breakdown

Overall: 4.0 / 5.0 - Strong delivery reliability and payment flexibility. A solid choice for yield-focused investors seeking proven, accessible entry into the Cambodian market.

Delivery Track Record 5 towers delivered over 10+ years
TS306 handed over Jan 2026 - all investor units tenanted
4.5 / 5.0
Detailed Assessment

Megakim has delivered five completed residential towers across Phnom Penh over more than a decade. The most recent handover, Time Square 306, completed in January 2026, with the developer reporting all investor units rented upon completion. Construction timelines have reportedly been broadly on schedule with transparent communication during build phases. The growing pipeline of seven projects including the newly announced Time Square 11 demonstrates sustained delivery capability and a developer with clear forward momentum.

No major delays or cancellations have been identified in public sources at the time of writing. The consistency of the Time Square series - same developer, same brand, same build approach - provides a level of predictability that is valuable when assessing off-plan risk in an emerging market.

Build Quality Taiwanese engineering standards with consistent finishing
Solid mid-tier construction with well-maintained communal areas
4.0 / 5.0
Detailed Assessment

Solid mid-tier construction with Taiwanese engineering standards applied across the portfolio. Structural integrity is consistent from the earliest Time Square buildings through to current developments. Interior finishing is clean, functional and designed for durability - prioritising tenant appeal and low-maintenance ownership over luxury showmanship.

Rooftop amenities including pools, gyms and sky gardens are well-maintained and add genuine lifestyle value that supports rental positioning. Units are practical, well-proportioned and designed with the rental market in mind. The focus on functional quality over premium finish is a deliberate strategy that keeps purchase prices accessible and service charges manageable.

Taiwanese engineering influence Consistent structural quality Pool, gym & sky garden amenities Rental-optimised unit layouts Low-maintenance finishes
Payment Flexibility Among the most accessible payment structures in Cambodia
Low deposits, extended instalments, overseas buyer friendly
4.5 / 5.0
Detailed Assessment

Among the most flexible payment structures in the Cambodian market. Low reservation fees secure units early, with deposits typically around 20% and extended monthly instalment plans spread across the full construction period. This approach is specifically designed with international investors in mind, reducing barriers to entry and making portfolio building more accessible.

The flexibility is a genuine competitive advantage within the mid-tier segment. Many comparable developers require larger upfront commitments or shorter payment windows. Megakim's structure allows investors to manage cash flow effectively while units are under construction - a meaningful benefit for overseas buyers managing multiple investment commitments.

Low reservation fees ~20% deposit typical Extended monthly instalments Overseas buyer friendly Construction-period staging
Rental Performance 6-9% yields with strong tenant demand across the portfolio
TS11 marketed at up to 11% (developer claim) - TS306 reportedly fully let on handover
4.0 / 5.0
Detailed Assessment

Time Square projects deliver typical rental yields of 6-9% with strong tenant absorption. Completed buildings achieve 6-8%, while the newest developments including Time Square 11 are marketed with yields of up to 11% (developer claim). TS306 reportedly had all investor units rented upon handover. The mid-tier pricing attracts the largest tenant pool in Phnom Penh: young professionals, expatriates, and families seeking value-driven living in central locations.

Sales velocity on new launches demonstrates market confidence. Time Square 9 in BKK1 sold approximately 80% of units within the first month. Time Square 10 in Sihanoukville achieved around 60% in its opening month despite being a new market for the brand. These figures indicate both buyer trust in the Megakim delivery model and genuine demand for the product.

Design & Innovation Functional efficiency over architectural statement
Proven layouts tenants actively seek - supports yield strategy
3.0 / 5.0
Detailed Assessment

Megakim's design philosophy prioritises functional efficiency over architectural statement. Layouts are practical and tenant-friendly, which directly supports the strong rental absorption rates across the portfolio. While the Time Square series does not compete with premium-tier developers on smart home technology or cutting-edge architecture, this consistency is part of what keeps pricing accessible and yields attractive.

The focus on proven layouts that tenants actually want to live in is a commercially sound approach for income-focused investors. Lower build complexity keeps construction timelines reliable and service charges manageable. For capital appreciation-focused investors, the premium segment may be more appropriate - but for rental yield strategy, Megakim's design approach is well-aligned with the investment thesis.

Proven tenant-friendly layouts Consistent design language Lower build complexity Supports yield strategy Manageable service charges
Did you know?
Mid-tier condos in Phnom Penh often generate higher net rental yields than premium developments, because the tenant pool is larger and service charges are lower. Entry price is important, but running costs determine your actual return. Read the step-by-step remote buying guide.

Yes. Megakim has delivered five residential towers across Phnom Penh over more than a decade, with consistent build quality and strong rental absorption across completed projects. You can assess their track record alongside other developers on our developer verification guide.

Are Megakim Time Square projects suitable for rental investment?

Yes. Time Square buildings typically generate rental yields of 6 to 11 percent (developer-marketed, verify independently). Strong tenant demand is driven by practical layouts, modern amenities and competitive pricing. For broader yield analysis, see our Phnom Penh rental management guide.

Can foreigners buy units in Megakim developments?

Yes. Foreign buyers may purchase strata title units one floor above the ground floor in any Megakim development. Ground and basement levels are excluded from foreign ownership under Cambodian law, subject to the 70% foreign ownership quota per building. For full details on ownership structures, see our strata title ownership guide.

What payment plans does Megakim offer for off-plan purchases?

Megakim is known for flexible payment structures including low reservation fees, manageable down payments and extended monthly instalment plans throughout the construction period. Plans vary by project. For a detailed breakdown of typical structures, see our off-plan payment plans guide.

What about Time Square 10 in Sihanoukville?

Time Square 10 broadens Megakim's portfolio into Cambodia's only significant coastal market. Sihanoukville is a higher-volatility location compared to Phnom Penh, but it offers beachfront access, major government infrastructure investment, and long-term tourism potential that the capital cannot replicate. We recommend additional research for coastal investments - see our off-plan due diligence checklist.

What is Time Square 11 BKK3?

Time Square 11 is Megakim's newest project, launching 4 March 2026 in BKK3, Phnom Penh. Expected entry pricing from approximately $50,000 with 1-3 bedroom units and developer-marketed yields of up to 11%. BKK3 is rapidly emerging as a residential alternative to BKK1, offering central convenience at a lower entry point. See the full Time Square 11 listing for details.
