Urban Village (Phase I)
LIVE • WORK • PLAY
Located ten minutes from the center of Cambodian capital, Urban Village is the “Live” and “Play” components of Urban Hub, with over 800 units in Phase 1 – sold out in less than a year – and over 4,000 units for Phase 2 & 3.
Directly adjacent to Urban Village is Factory Phnom Penh, where the “Work” and more “Play” activities take place.
How do you build a community in a high-rise? How do you connect people in an entirely greenfield development where everyone will be strangers when they move in? What do you do with the 3.4-hectare, 16-building garment factory sitting on half of the land awaiting development?
These were the design challenges posed to Urban Living Solutions for Urban Village, the residential component of the Urban Hub project.

“I find this project meaningful because it values the people and the community in it. It’s more than just a living space”
- Urban Village Buyer
“I love that everything I need will be within walking distance. If I don’t want to cook, there will be restaurants downstairs. If I need a space to work, there will be a place for that. Urban Village is really going to be a place where I can live, work, and play”
- Urban Village Buyer
“I think it’s easy to find a home with great design and amenities but for it to be accessible to most people is another thing. I think Urban Village made that last part happen”
