Boeung Kak (Khmer: បឹងកក់) is an area in Khan Daun Penh and Khan Toul Kourk centrally located in the capital city of Cambodia, Phnom Penh.[1] Until around 2010, it was covered by the largest urban lake in Phnom Penh.[2] Residential areas, businesses, restaurants, hotels, embassies and other local businesses surrounded the area of the lake. Phnom Penh's main railway station formerly sat on its south coast. The lake itself was 90 hectares in area.[1]
In 2007, the Cambodian government made an agreement to lease the land to Shukaku Inc. for 99 years. This agreement has resulted in the filling of the lake with sand in order for the company to build condominiums and other complexes on the land. The change of the lake and the area surrounding the lake has had major social and environmental impact. Several non-governmental organizations in Cambodia as well as international actors protested the destruction of Boeung Kak Lake. In 2010, 90 percent of the lake had already been filled with sand.[3] As of 2015, roads and drainage infrastructure has been installed and real estate development is taking place there.
