Ascott Strengthens Market Leadership In Southeast Asia With Debut In Cambodia
CapitaLand's wholly owned serviced residence business unit, The Ascott Limited (Ascott), has extended its global footprint to the fast-developing market of Cambodia by securing a contract to manage its first serviced residence in the country. Somerset Norodom will open in Cambodia's capital and economic hub of Phnom Penh in 2018. The property will add another 105 apartment units to Ascott's Southeast Asian portfolio, bringing its total in the region to over 13,000 units in 74 properties across nine countries. The expansion comes hot on the heels of the company securing five properties in Cebu, the Philippines and Pattaya, Thailand early this month.
