With its strategic location and high-end offerings, the Urban Hub Tower will become a central business and leisure hub, attracting both local and international visitors and serving as a key driver of economic and tourism growth in Phnom Penh.

Architectural Design: Crafting a Vision of Modern Elegance

Designed by CHY Architects SDN BHD, the Urban Hub Tower is a striking example of modern architectural design. The building’s sleek and contemporary form complements Phnom Penh’s urban landscape, while its functional layout ensures that both office and hotel spaces are optimized for the needs of their respective tenants.

The tower’s design focuses on maximizing natural light and providing panoramic views of the surrounding cityscape. Its glass facades will allow for abundant daylight, creating open, airy office spaces and inviting hotel rooms. The building’s vertical design is a nod to the future of Phnom Penh’s skyline, with a blend of bold modernism and luxurious detailing that will set it apart from other developments in the city.

The Pan Pacific Hotel’s interiors will reflect the brand’s commitment to high-end luxury, with refined finishes and design elements that offer an atmosphere of comfort and sophistication. The integration of large open spaces, premium materials, and a focus on sustainable design ensures that both the offices and the hotel will offer long-term value for their occupants.

Engineering Excellence: Meinhardt’s Role in the Development

The Urban Hub Tower’s success is also due to the exceptional engineering consultancy services provided by Meinhardt (Cambodia), who played a crucial role in delivering both civil and structural (C&S) engineering and MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) engineering services.

Civil and Structural Engineering (C&S)

Meinhardt’s team was responsible for designing and ensuring the structural integrity of the tower, which required a solution capable of supporting the weight of the mixed-use development while accommodating its complex functions. The C&S engineering team worked closely with the architects to create a robust, efficient structural framework that could handle the demands of the office and hotel spaces, including the basement parking, and the rooftop pool and bar.

The design also took into account seismic stability, wind load, and the tower’s high-rise design. Meinhardt’s expertise ensured that the tower would be able to withstand the rigors of a bustling urban environment while maintaining its aesthetic appeal.

MEP Engineering

The Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) systems were designed with an emphasis on both efficiency and comfort. The HVAC systems will ensure that the indoor climate remains optimal for both hotel guests and office tenants, providing energy-efficient cooling and heating solutions throughout the building. The electrical systems were designed to meet the high demands of modern office technology, as well as the luxurious amenities offered by the hotel, including lighting, security, and elevator systems.

The plumbing design incorporates sustainable water management systems, optimizing both water use and waste management. Meinhardt’s MEP engineering expertise helped ensure that the tower would meet international standards for both safety and energy efficiency, while also integrating state-of-the-art technology to minimize the building’s environmental impact.

Amenities: A Complete Business and Leisure Experience

The Urban Hub Tower is not just an office building or a hotel—it is a complete business and leisure ecosystem, offering a range of amenities designed to enhance the experience of both workers and visitors.

  • Rooftop Bar and Pool: The rooftop is destined to become one of Phnom Penh’s top destinations for evening relaxation. The pool area and bar will offer stunning views of the city, creating an inviting space for socializing and unwinding after a long day.
  • Fitness and Wellness: The hotel’s wellness offerings include a state-of-the-art gym and spa, ensuring that guests have access to premium health and fitness facilities.
  • Business Services: For corporate tenants, the serviced offices will offer modern business facilities, meeting rooms, high-speed internet, and access to professional services to support the growth of businesses in the tower.
  • Dining: The hotel’s restaurants will offer a variety of cuisines, creating a dynamic dining experience for both guests and residents of Phnom Penh. Whether it’s a fine dining experience or a casual meal, the tower’s culinary offerings will cater to every palate.

Impact on Phnom Penh’s Urban Landscape

The Urban Hub Tower’s location at the intersection of Phnom Penh’s commercial, political, and diplomatic districts makes it one of the most strategically important developments in the city. Its mixed-use nature ensures that it will serve a wide range of sectors, from business to tourism, and will be a catalyst for further economic growth in the area.

The combination of Grade A office space and luxury hotel accommodations meets the increasing demand for modern, high-quality real estate in Phnom Penh. The tower will contribute significantly to the city’s skyline, becoming a symbol of Cambodia’s growing economy and a hub for both local and international enterprises.

Conclusion: Shaping Phnom Penh’s Future

The Urban Hub Tower is a prime example of how modern design, engineering excellence, and strategic location can come together to create a landmark development that meets the diverse needs of Phnom Penh’s growing economy. With its exceptional mix of office, hotel, and leisure facilities, the tower will set a new standard for mixed-use developments in the region.

Thanks to the collaboration between Urban Hub (Cambodia), CHY Architects SDN BHD, and Meinhardt (Cambodia), this project promises to provide a world-class experience for both businesses and visitors, while playing a key role in shaping Phnom Penh’s future as a global city.
