The Penang Development Corporation (PDC) has officially issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Linear Waterfront development involving land reclamation and land development along the Penang Island southern coastline, marking one of the most significant coastal development initiatives in recent years

The proposed development corridor stretches from the Queensbay Roundabout (Bulatan Harapan) to the Jambatan Sultan Abdul Halim Muadzam Shah (Second Penang Bridge), covering a strategically located waterfront zone adjacent to Bayan Lepas and Bayan Baru. According to the tender notice dated 15 January 2026, the project is open to local, international companies or consortiums.

The RFP encompasses both land reclamation works and subsequent land development, with a departmental indicative price of RM2.56 billion. PDC emphasised that this figure is an estimate and is not binding, nor does it guarantee project award or completion based on the stated amount.

While the RFP does not spell out specific development components, the scale and location of the project suggest long-term implications for Penang’s coastal urban form, connectivity, and economic positioning. The initiative is expected to attract strong interest from developers with experience in large-scale reclamation, mixed-use waterfront planning, and infrastructure-led developments.

According to information shared during Penang Week @ World Expo Osaka 2025, the development is estimated to have a gross development value (GDV) of RM9.8 billion. It is envisioned as a mixed-use waterfront district featuring a GBS business district, waterfront commercial spaces, serviced apartments, business hotels, lifestyle malls, marine-related activities and a transportation hub. A continuous waterfront promenade, incorporating pedestrian walkways and dedicated bicycle paths, is planned as a key public-facing element of the proposal.

Interested parties may purchase the tender documents from 15 January 2026 until 22 April 2026, at a non-refundable fee of RM5,000, with submissions due by 23 April 2026 at 12.00 noon at PDC’s Procurement Division in Bayan Lepas.

Further details and technical specifications are available directly from PDC through the official tender documentation.

The Penang state government has clarified that the proposed Penang International Financial Centre (PIFC) remains a long-term aspiration, with no decisions finalised to date, including the location of any designated PIFC zone.

In a statement responding to remarks by Bagan Member of Parliament Lim Guan Eng, the state government said it has taken note of all views expressed on the matter. It stressed that the initiative is still at an exploratory stage and forms part of a broader vision to strengthen Penang’s economic foundation by positioning the state as a competitive, high-impact regional technology and innovation hub.

The state government acknowledged that a comprehensive national framework for the initiative has yet to be finalised by the federal government. Nevertheless, it said Penang, through its think tank Penang Institute, remains committed to laying the groundwork by conducting phased and structured engagement sessions with potential industry players. These engagements are aimed at building market confidence and better understanding the actual needs of the financial sector.

At the same time, high-level discussions are ongoing with key regulators, including Bank Negara Malaysia, Securities Commission Malaysia and the Labuan Financial Services Authority. The objective is to ensure that any proposals put forward are innovative, legally compliant, aligned with the national Financial Sector Blueprint, and do not overlap with existing financial ecosystems.

The statement also highlighted Penang’s unique strength in its long-established high-technology industrial and manufacturing ecosystem. Building on this advantage, the state intends to focus on specialised financial segments such as digital assets, financial technology (fintech), and manufacturing-related financial services. These include supply chain financing, trade finance, risk management and industry-driven innovation as part of the potential PIFC direction.

The state government reiterated that all engagements and planning efforts will continue to be conducted prudently and progressively.
