Legasi @ Burma
Legasi@Burma is a proposed mixed development by PDC Properties Sdn. Bhd., located at the junction of Jalan Servis, Jalan Irrawadi, and Jalan Chow Thye, just off Penang’s historic Burma Road. The project is set within a culturally significant part of George Town and includes the restoration of 19 colonial-era shophouses, classified under Conservation Category 2. These structures are being preserved in line with heritage guidelines, forming part of the broader narrative of heritage conservation within a rapidly evolving urban context.
Behind the conserved façades, a 27-storey residential tower and a 16-storey office block are being constructed, linked by a retail podium at street level. The development will house 361 condominium units, 138 office suites, and 15 retail lots. Undertaken by a state-linked developer, the project illustrates how new urban functions can be layered onto existing heritage fabric, reflecting ongoing shifts in the way cities balance growth with preservation.
This project is still in its planning stage. More details will be available upon the official launch.

What a waste to build only 16 storey for office tower, since the land is limited in that area, i thought is 66 storey.
This computer made visual … where is the neighbourhood in it. Where is Gleneagles Hospital, all the high-rises on Jalan Abdul Shah, the Peranakan neighbourhood? It looks like it is build on empty fields. Do they want to bulldoze the whole neighbourhood?! And btw Burmah Road traffic is already bad enough and the smaller roads around it are too small even for a sighter increase in traffic. Who wants to live in a high-rise building where the traffic will be then so bad that it will take about 1 hour to drive the last 200 meters to the entrance – it already takes during rush hour cars on Chow Thye road about 15 min to cover 150 meters. In my opinion the whole project is an insane idea and will also destroy one of the last East Asians cohesive neighbourhoods in this archtictual style There is no Legacy and ii is PDC – a government company who wants to destroy the area. Heritage? Legacy? Surely not.
