As parcels of land in the once sleepy-hollow of Simpang Ampat on mainland Penang got sold, new housing estates have been developing and the town is now bustling with activity.

The Northern Light Private School is located in Simpang Ampat, while GEMS International School at Pearl City is also within close proximity.

Standing tall in the centre of town is Eco Bloom – the area’s first condominium project which incorporates a commercial element. The units command a green view and extended vistas of the mainland and are suited to all generations of buyers ranging from working professionals, small families to retirees. A dedicated living space with a range of amenities is also featured in this development.

Additionally, the convenience of retail shops and eateries below is also the first for a high-rise property development in Simpang Ampat and for Eco World in the northern region.

A separate and secure entrance is available for residents at the back of this high-rise, offering two and three bedroom units that are planned with optimum space utilisation in mind.

All residents need to be is to step out of their units to a common and secure life-space where a swimming pool, water feature, children’s play area, state-of-the art gymnasium, nursery facilities and a generously spaced reading area are available. A common area for residents also enables group activities ranging from cooking to craft lessons and a venue to host gatherings.

What can be more convenient that a row of commercial lots below which are being snapped up quickly? This is thanks to the generous landscaped area fronting the shops. Tenants to date include a bakery, daycare centre, convenience store and professional service providers.

The project’s outdoor `Bloom Garden’ is a dedicated public space where activities like zumba will be carried out on Sundays. It is also a space dedicated to entertainment and other fun activities.

The benefits of coming home to a well-appointed condominium with top-notch amenities, together with retail and dining conveniences below is what makes Eco Bloom stand above the other developments in the area.

Since the handing over of vacant possession for this project is within the first quarter of this year, now is the time to grab a unit.
