Penang Island is one of Malaysia’s most sought-after property destinations due to its natural beauty, tropical setting and historical richness, with its well-preserved capital George Town earning the merit of being a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The island is experiencing strong growth and rapidly rising standards of living with international agencies rating it among Asia’s most liveable cities.
Seri Tanjung Pinang, a well-recognised masterplanned seafront neighbourhood in Penang, is developed by premier lifestyle property developer, Eastern & Oriental Berhad (E&O). It is a cosmopolitan residential enclave that is located along the same stretch to the tourist hub of Batu Ferringhi and the famed Gurney Drive.
“Offering a range of homes with distinctive designs that pay homage to the Penang’s Straits-eclectic architecture coupled with convenient lifestyle amenities, Seri Tanjung Pinang is today home to Penangites and more than 20 nationalities,” says E&O head of marketing and sales for Penang, Christina Lau.
Aspirational living at The Tamarind
The latest offering from E&O is The Tamarind executive apartments in Seri Tanjung Pinang which presents a unique opportunity for young executives and families to own a competitively priced desired property that bears E&O’s hallmarks of innovation and style.
This two-tower apartment has a 90% take-up rate prior to the launch of Tower A in June 2015 prompting the second tower to be launched soon. Tower A and B consist of 33 storeys each and 552 units respectively with a built-up ranging between 1,047 and 1,772 sq ft. Priced from RM750 psf, it is scheduled for completion by 2019.
The Tamarind occupies 6.9-acres of freehold land with many world-class facilities such as a gymnasium and yoga centre, al fresco function area, signature swimming pool, wading pool, beach pool, kids’ outdoor play area and others.
Excellent connectivity, great amenities
Residents at The Tamarind will enjoy the convenience of excellent connectivity with many amenities. Just a 5-minute walk from it is a Tesco hypermarket and the Straits Quay festive retail marina, which offers a wide variety of F&B, retail outlets as well as the Performing Arts Centre of Penang. Across the road, there is a 4.5-acre public park called Strait Green maintained by E&O which is perfect for recreational activities.
The Tamarind is well-connected to amenities such as schools, medical centres and shopping malls. The 102 Rapid Penang bus connects the residents from Seri Tanjung Pinang to the airport, Komtar Bus Terminal, Batu Ferringhi, Bayan Lepas and Georgetown, to name a few. The Penang Bridge that provides road access to the rest of Malaysia is about a 30-minute drive away.
