Why buy

  • Freehold waterfront, rare on Penang Island; a long-term resale premium over leasehold.
  • Own-stay ready: 70% furnished delivery, no fit-out cost before you move in or host.
  • Strait views and a waterfront precinct draw for strong short-stay differentiation.
  • Dual demand: USM and corporate long-stay, plus Penang tourism short-stay.

Read first

  • Higher entry PSF than inland Penang; the waterfront premium is real.
  • 671 units in one tower: short-stay supply within the building will be competitive.
  • Q4 2028 VP: two-plus years before occupation or rental income begins.
  • High-floor and sea-view premiums push prices above the RM 864,500 headline.

*Indicative monthly instalment approximately RM3,307 on 90% margin, 3.7% p.a. over 35 years on the RM864,500 entry price. Subject to bank approval. Yield and rent figures are area estimates from public data, not guarantees. Past area performance does not guarantee future returns.
