Following the strong market response to Triuni Residences, Runnymede Group now unveils The Fount, the final and most exclusive residential phase within the established 28-acre The Sanctuary enclave in Batu Uban, Penang Island.
Set on a 2.3-acre freehold site, The Fount is a gated and guarded, low-density strata-titled luxury condominium crafted for discerning homeowners who prioritise privacy, thoughtful design and long-term liveability.
Low Density, Elevated Living
With only 280 units, The Fount provides a sophisticated residential lifestyle in an environment that combines connectivity and serenity. Conceptually driven by the Hanging Gardens of Babylon and symbolically inspired by the fountain, which represents rebirth and vitality, the design incorporates the natural sloping topography of the site with cascading greenery and water features, thus providing a resort lifestyle environment within a gated community.
The project consists of two residential blocks (North and South) linked by a central lift core, which is served by three lifts over 20 floors of residential units. With only six units per floor in the North Block and eight units per floor in the South Block, residents can look forward to an exclusive lifestyle that is hard to come by in today’s high-rise condominium launches. Some units will enjoy views of the soothing Bukit Jambul hills, while the larger units will have views of the Straits of Penang.
Practicality in Everyday Design
A standout feature is the four-storey naturally ventilated car park podium. Vehicles access each level directly via an external perimeter ramp from the guardhouse, reducing unnecessary internal circulation. Each unit comes with two side-by-side car park bays, eliminating the inconvenience of tandem parking, a common frustration in many condominiums.
Built on a Proven Track Record
The Fount benefits from the success of Triuni Residences within the same master development, where 95% of purchasers are owner-occupiers. Triuni also achieved an 86% QLASSIC score, the highest recorded on Penang Island, awarded by CIDB, underscoring the developer’s commitment to construction quality. This benchmark sets expectations for The Fount’s delivery standards.
Functional Layouts for Modern Families
The Fount offers four practical configurations:
- Type A: 957 sq ft (3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms)
- Type B: 1,226 sq ft (3+1 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms)
- Type B1: 1,237 sq ft (3+1 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms)
- Type C: 1,436 sq ft (4+1 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms)
The design focuses on functionality and family-friendly living, appealing to young professionals in the Bayan Lepas area, expanding families upgrading from older apartments, and multi-generational families requiring room in a safe and secure environment. There is also a stable rental base for investors, with Triuni’s average rental of about RM2,500 for a 1,146 sq ft unit.
Lifestyle-Focused Facilities
Facilities are curated around wellness and community living. Residents can enjoy a naturally ventilated grand drop-off lobby, a 32-metre infinity cascading lap pool, pickleball court, landscaped jogging trail, indoor gymnasium, children’s playground, function room, meeting rooms and essential conveniences such as parcel and mail rooms. The emphasis lies on practical, frequently used spaces rather than novelty features.
Established Location with Future Connectivity
Batu Uban remains one of Penang Island’s most strategic residential addresses. The Fount is within a 10–20 minute drive to both Penang Bridges, Penang International Airport, the Bayan Lepas Free Trade Zone, Queensbay Mall, major hospitals, Universiti Sains Malaysia and Penang Golf Club. Two upcoming LRT stations (Batu Uban and Pesta) are also located nearby, enhancing future accessibility.
A Rare Final Phase Opportunity
As the concluding chapter of The Sanctuary, The Fount stands apart from greenfield launches by offering the assurance of an established neighbourhood. With its low-density planning, practical design and family-oriented layouts, it presents a compelling proposition for buyers who value privacy, quality and enduring location fundamentals.
For buyers prioritising long-term liveability, privacy, and location over speculative yield, The Fount deserves closer attention.
