11 Gurney Drive

11 Gurney Drive Condominium – The elegant tower described here will set a new benchmark not only for its international standards of quality, it will also change our perceptions of high rise living through the attention to meticulous detail in every aspect of its design which is worthy of such prestigious address along Penang’s most prime waterfront. It is the culmination of our uncompromising effort based on our intimate understanding of what privileged dwelling in Malaysia really means: a deep consideration of the manner in which our activities and needs are affected by contemporary living in a tropical monsoon climate.

This development concerns core values about dwelling and lifestyles, issues that can normally only be addressed in the most exclusive bungalow designs, almost never in a condominium development. It is about placing the building not in contrast to but as an extension of its environment, about clean and open living spaces configured to welcome daylight, sunlit mornings and guests.

It is also about providing sufficient natural ventilation for a house to feel aerated and larger windows for the pleasure of pooled sunlight. About build in linen cabinets and living room-sized balconies.

It is about wrapping a building and each carefully placed unit in its context of sunlight, sea and wind.

Begin with the Golden Mile of Gurney Drive, Millionaire’s Row, home to number of existing high and condominiums, apartments and historical mansions along a boulevard facing the tide and sea breeze, lined by established rows of casuarinas and hardwoods.

The development sits on a rectangular site, facing the Straits: the elegant columns of 61 spacious units gathered in a group by the sea edge as lantern towers for the address. On the opposite end past a garden terrace pool are two exclusive villas with the hills of Penang forming the background.

Sixty one plus two. Sixty three units in all. Magic numbers if one were to dream of low density exclusivity, open spaces and a privileged population.

Or general seclusion, landscaped lanais and private lobbies.

And the quiet road home.

PDC unit to launch condo projects in Bayan Mutiara

PENANG Development Corp’s (PDC) property arm PDC Properties Sdn Bhd (PDCP), which has built high-end homes at Bayan Mutiara on Penang island, will embark on three condominium developments with total gross development value of RM671 million.

The project, also at Bayan Mutiara, spreads out in three parcels on 7.8ha of land.

“The first condo project at Parcel 1 is called ‘Mutiara Pica’ and is set for launch in October,” PDCP chief executive officer Osman Kallahan told Business Times.
OSMAN: Mutiara Pica will comprise of 432 mid-range condominiums
Construction of the first phase is expected to commence in January 2009 and completed in July 2011.
Osman said Mutiara Pica will comprise of 432 mid-range condominiums priced between RM260,000 and RM420,000 per unit.

The second and third parcels, which are expected to be completed by 2012 and 2013 respectively, will feature 980 units of high-end condominiums.

The Bayan Mutiara development, which is sited on a 40ha site, will boast of high-end homes, affordable housing units, schools, a mosque and a government administrative complex, including the State Legislative Assembly building, when completed.

It is also sited within the Penang Multimedia Super Corridor cybercity.

Last June, PDC sold a 0.82ha plot to the Inland Revenue Board to build a 16-storey corporate tower there.

The Marine Police department has also purchased land totalling 4ha within the development.

Other projects on the drawing board for Bayan Mutiara’s residential component include the construction of affordable homes and these will comprise low-medium cost and medium- cost apartments.

“The affordable units will total 536 with a price range from RM75,000 to RM200,000.

“Both projects, which are sited on 2.2ha, carry a gross development value of RM70 million,” Osman added, saying that the projects are slated to begin construction in July 2009 and be completed by December 2010.

Already under construction by PDCP are its D’Residence bungalow and courtyard homes.
