July 2026 · BKK1 Landmark Development

Anna Advisors is pleased to share an exclusive on-site update from BKK1. On Saturday, July 25, 2026, our team attended the official groundbreaking ceremony for G.A.T.O. Tower, a major ultra-high-rise mixed-use development planned for one of Phnom Penh's most prestigious addresses.
The ceremony brought together government officials, developers, financial executives, and industry leaders from Japan and Cambodia. With heavy machinery already deployed on-site, the official commencement of foundation and piling works marked a significant milestone for Phnom Penh's evolving skyline.


Designed by Dr. Shin Takamatsu, Professor Emeritus at Kyoto University and one of Japan's leading architectural figures, the tower embraces a refined concept inspired by traditional Japanese elegance.
Located near Norodom Boulevard and Street 334, G.A.T.O. Tower sits within the heart of BKK1, surrounded by embassies, government offices, multinational companies, and fine dining.
The project is planned with luxury residences, a 5-star hotel, Japanese onsen facilities, an infinity pool, fitness spaces, a rooftop sky bar, and other world-class amenities.
