Koh Pich

Koh Pich (Khmer: កោះពេជ្រ, Kaôh Péch [kɑh peic]; English: Diamond Island) is a central business district in Phnom Penh, capital of Cambodia. Koh Pich faces the Boeng Keng Kang I district and is surrounded by the Mekong and Bassac rivers.

Linked by bridges, the man-made island is connected to downtown Phnom Penh.

Today, Koh Pich hosts some of Phnom Penh’s tallest buildings such as the GIA tower, Diamond Bay Garden, Diamond Twin Tower, Morgan tower and Casa By Meridian.

Koh Pich (Khmer: កោះពេជ្រ, Kaôh Péch [kɑh peic]) translates as Diamond Island in English.

Koh Pich was formed due to the buildup of slit from the changing river flows of the Bassac and Mekong river, creating a 800-meter wide island.

In the early 2000s, the area was a swamp land with a small community of fishing families settled on the island.

By 2004, the Government of Cambodia gave permission to a local conglomerate, Overseas Cambodian Investment Corporation (OCIC Group), to develop the island into a commercial and residential hub.

Since 2006, Koh Pich hosts high-rise projects, including apartment complexes, residential homes, office buildings, commercial buildings, schools, hospitals, entertainment areas, parks, wedding halls, a theater, and convention halls.
