Wellness City Of Dreams

Ewein is embarking on a one-stop wellness destination named “Wellness City of Dreams” which will eventually span over a reclaimed land of 110ac and carries a GDV of RM25b over a 10-year period given to Consortium Zenith BUCG by the Penang Government to build the RM6.3b undersea tunnel and three road bypasses in Penang.

The first 50 ac (3 parcels) in Bandar Tanjong Pinang is expected to be fully developed before Dec-2020 and the group had inked a memorandum of agreement to acquire these landbanks for a total of RM2.83b in January 2016.

This mega development, located next to Gurney Wharf, will carry a massive GDV of RM 13.9 billion, which includes wellness apartments, retirement and healthcare wellness residential suits, serviced apartments with wellness facilities, resort suites and ambulatory services. This massive development is the top champion in the Malaysia EPP 10 for Wellness Resort.

    Ewein is still new to property development. If they’re not careful they may ruin this opportunity.
    Just like Ivory with times square.

    But Ivory learnt from that lesson and teamed up with a company with experience and expertise in big developments (Tropicana) in their next big project- Penang Worldcity.

    Ewein should learn from that and JV with another big, renowned and established developer to make this a success.

    What is the point of adding highways and adding more residence properties at sea belt? Wht is the point of adding coastal way and then load w so many traffic links?

    Oh well guys. You can’t have the best of both worlds. We want the TMP and water tunnel so it has to be paid via land swap. Think fondue economic multiplier effect it has on jobs for Penangites and all the tourism dollars then it would make perfect sense. Sometimes we might not like what we see now but if we think of it logically the economic impact is better.

    The least the government can do is to come clean on the issue and appriase the public on its plans. I suppose what irks many people , including myself is not the proposed development but the failure of the government to explain to the people. A more transparent and consultative process is needed.

    March 9th, 2016 at 13:48 | #33

    I guess what Ben meant was come clean with the full plan. Not only the areas for public amenities, but the so-called Gov Reserved Land. With the Wellness City of Dreams, it is no longer as rosy as it was painted last 2 weeks. Looking at the Wellness COD plan, only 50% or less of the reclaimed Gurney Wharf will be for public and the rest goes to private developers to build high rise condos. To a certain extend, I felt cheated. State gov should come clean either to acknowledge the plan announced by Ewein is correct or outright deny the plan by Ewein.

    Reclamation costs of RM1billion will be borne by E&O according to reports. Then Ewein reports that it has inked a memorandum of understanding to buy that portion for RM2billion to develop wellness City of dreams. State government then announces Gurney Wharf which turns out that a portion of so called govt reserve will be developed by ewein. I smell a rat somewhere! E&O will surely not bear the reclamation costs for nothing.

  42. Ben
    March 10th, 2016 at 16:08 | #42

    That is why NGOs are pushing the state government for an answer on its actual plans. From what we can see now, it appears that , the reclaimed land will be state land and the govt will utilise a portion for the gurney wharf project. The remaining land will then be sold to ewein and e&o will be paid its reclamation costs.

  43. Xpid
    March 10th, 2016 at 16:18 | #43

    E&O is doing their part for the public by spending RM1 billion to reclaim and to beautify gurney drive.

    E&O reclaim the land in Gurney Drive for state government, they reclaim an island at TSP for themselves. 10% of the land in Gurney Drive is given to Ewein in exchange for undersea tunnel and 3 highways. The rest of the 90% will be the Gurney Wharf and 8-lane highway for the public. Everybody wins.

    We shouldn’t dictate what Ewein will be building there as long as not chemical plant. I quite like the wellness concept as it suits Penang moving into service economy.

    Just to correct,

    E&O will reclaim 131 acres and out of which 50 acres will be taken up by Ewein at RM1,300psf

    Only 81 acres will be developed for public by E&O.

    My question is E&O and state government took the initiative to get public opinion…

    So why should we not dictate what Ewein will be building? is this what the public wants? is this what the public needs? Should they not get the public to give their opinion too?

  50. james k
    March 14th, 2016 at 13:45 | #50

    Also, E&O won’t be developing the land per se. They are only involved in the reclamation and are bearing the cost of design and consultation. The actual landscaping and works of the wharf would be bored by the state gov. So the state gov is actually the one that is obtaining public opinion- without E&O.

    The reclaimed land by E&O is state land. If Ewein buys it at RM1,300 psf, it is buying it from the state for its development. Before the state alienates the land to ewein, the state has a duty to disclose the plans to the public pre-alienation. It can choose not to sell/alienate to Ewein if what Ewein is planning to build does not receive the support of the people or is not for the general benefit of the people. The state goverment is in the driving seat to dictate development policies in any manner it wishes. Indirectly the people must be heard

    Well guys. I think the undersea tunnel will not materialise. LGE has asked for federal permission to build a 3rd bridge instead thereby reducing the costs. The tunnel and bridge will not co-exist. The bridge must be an alternative.

    The reclaimed portion for ewein to build its wellness resort may not materialise as well due to the fact that the cost to build the bridge is lower than tunnel. Following that the ewein-zenith jv vehicle may not be given the same compensation as before. The previous land exchange compensation was based on the value of the tunnel project at 6b as opposed to lower costs for buliding the bridge.

The state government should change their mindset and stop over developing this island. Please learn from countries like Netherlands, Germany and Denmark.
