Nestled within the 74.4-acre freehold Eco Sun township, Everine is proudly introduced as the first and only residential phase in this vibrant mixed-use development by EcoWorld in Batu Kawan.

Eco Sun’s journey began in 2024 with the successful launch of Aurea — a collection of individual double-storey shop offices (22′ x 65′) that continues to attract commercial interest. Now, this township enters a new chapter with Everine, bringing the joys of landed living to this well-connected and growing community

Introducing Landed Living to Eco Sun

Everine features a limited collection of double-storey terrace homes, thoughtfully crafted for comfort, functionality, and modern living. With generous built-ups of 20′ x 60′ and 22′ x 60′, these homes cater to families seeking more space and privacy without compromising on location or accessibility.

What makes Everine truly stand out is its rare combination of features in Batu Kawan:

• Strata-titled landed development
• Gated and guarded community
• Each home comes with its own individual gate

Together, these features ensures enhanced security, privacy, and a sense of exclusivity — while still being part of a close-knit neighbourhood.

Key Highlights:

• Strategically located in Batu Kawan — with easy access to the Penang Second Bridge, North-South Expressway, IKEA, Design Village, and leading international schools.
• Freehold terrace homes with a modern façade and family-friendly layout.
• Attractive pricing from just RM 745,000, offering better value than many high-rise options in the area.
• Gated and guarded with individual gates, balancing community safety with personal space.

A new “pay-per-use” system for shared facility maintenance is being studied for future affordable housing developments, said Housing and Local Government Minister Nga Kor Ming.

Speaking at the Kuala Lumpur Architecture Week (KLAW) 2025, Nga said the initiative is part of broader housing reforms aimed at improving equity in public housing. Under the proposed system, residents will use access cards to track their usage of shared facilities—such as pools, gyms, and courts—and be charged based on actual usage rather than a fixed monthly maintenance fee.

The concept is being piloted at Rumah Bakat Madani in Penang – SkyWorld Pearlmont. The project features a clubhouse with an infinity pool, pickleball and badminton courts, a gym, and a children’s playground. Nga said this model will serve as a reference for future public housing projects and may also incorporate vertical schools to improve educational access for low-income communities.

“The goal is to raise industry standards and create a more equitable housing landscape,” Nga said.

The Rumah Bakat Madani initiative is the country’s largest affordable housing project to date, offering 900-square-foot freehold condominiums equipped with modern amenities and shared facilities.

Nga also highlighted the ministry’s aim to involve more private players in setting up Industrialised Building System (IBS) facilities to accelerate the adoption of modular construction methods such as Prefabricated Prefinished Volumetric Construction. This move supports sustainable urban growth by reducing waste and limiting pollution.

KLAW 2025, held as a curtain-raiser for the ASEAN Real Estate Conference and the 24th International Architecture, Interior Design and Building Exhibition, is expected to attract over 50,000 international visitors and generate RM2 billion in transactions.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has announced an allocation of RM5 million to implement several new basic infrastructure projects in the Southwest District of Penang, particularly in Teluk Kumbar. These projects are in addition to those already planned, and are aimed at addressing the pressing needs of local residents.

In conjunction with this, Anwar also approved the establishment of a mini Urban Transformation Centre (UTC) at the upcoming Kompleks Madani Teluk Kumbar. The complex, which is currently under construction, is expected to be completed by 31 January 2027.

“There are currently two UTCs in Penang—at Komtar and Bagan—and now we’re adding a mini UTC at Kompleks Madani Teluk Kumbar to better serve residents here,” Anwar said during the groundbreaking ceremony for the complex.

He expressed confidence that the new facility would offer a more comprehensive range of services, benefitting communities in Teluk Kumbar and nearby areas. He added that the newly announced RM5 million allocation would be managed by the Implementation Coordination Unit (ICU) to fund additional public infrastructure developments in Teluk Kumbar, Balik Pulau, and surrounding areas.

“All projects must commence this year. We want applications to be submitted in an orderly manner so approvals can be expedited,” Anwar stressed.

The event was also attended by Penang Chief Minister Y.A.B. Chow Kon Yeow, Minister of Local Government Development Nga Kor Ming, and other federal and state officials.

Chief Minister Chow noted that Kompleks Madani Teluk Kumbar—costing RM25 million—is more than just a new public market. “This will be a long-awaited landmark for Teluk Kumbar, improving local infrastructure and addressing traffic congestion, especially in Bayan Lepas,” he said.

According to Penang Island City Council (MBPP) Mayor Dato’ Ir. A. Rajendran, the complex is being built on 4.37 acres of land and will include 78 stalls, eight kiosks, a multi-purpose hall with five badminton courts, administrative offices, and dedicated parking for 103 cars, 54 motorcycles, and 22 bicycles.

Spanning 74,000 square feet over two floors, the complex will also feature green building elements, universal design accessibility, toilets, changing rooms, and other public amenities.

“This project will stimulate the local economy and uplift the quality of life for the community. It reflects MBPP’s commitment to the Penang2030 vision and the ideals of Malaysia Madani—good governance, inclusivity, and people-focused development,” Rajendran added.

The mini UTC will further enhance the complex’s role as a hub for essential public services, enabling residents to conveniently access government agency services without needing to travel far.

SkyWorld Development Berhad (“SkyWorld”), Malaysia’s leading city developer, marked a significant milestone today with the groundbreaking ceremony in Seberang Jaya, officially commencing the development of the nation’s largest affordable housing project under the Rumah Bakat MADANI initiative. The event was officiated by Malaysia’s Prime Minister, YAB Dato’ Seri Utama Anwar Bin Ibrahim.

This momentous occasion also marks SkyWorld’s first venture in Penang, coming just eight months after the signing of the Joint Development Agreement (JDA) with Penang Development Corporation (PDC) and PDC Properties, demonstrating rapid execution and strong collaboration under the Malaysia MADANI vision.

SkyWorld Pearlmont will be the first development in Penang to fully adopt Prefabricated Prefinished Volumetric Construction (PPVC) technology, setting a new standard in quality, efficiency, and sustainability. It will also feature a vertical school, the first of its kind to be incorporated within an affordable housing development in the state, offering greater convenience and accessibility for working families.

This development will serve as a public-private initiative aimed at delivering more than 35,000 units under the Rumah Bakat MADANI scheme.

Innovation Through PPVC: Building Better, Faster, Smarter

SkyWorld Pearlmont introduces a new benchmark for affordable homes by becoming Penang’s first PPVC residential development. Often described as the “LEGO” of construction, PPVC modules are fully built, tiled, painted, and fitted off-site before being assembled onsite, drastically improving construction speed, quality, and site safety, while minimizing environmental impact.

“Because of PPVC technology, we are able to bring high quality and a new standard of living at a faster pace,” said Mr. Lee Chee Seng, CEO of SkyWorld. “This is a product built with premium quality but priced affordably, a breakthrough made possible by our PPVC innovation.”

The project will come with real, tangible benefits:

• 10-year warranty on waterproofing and piping.
• RM0.18/sf maintenance fee cap for 10 years.
• A benchmark of 85% QLASSIC build quality score certified by CIDB.

A Vertical School Supporting Modern Families

To reduce time, cost, and stress for working parents, SkyWorld Pearlmont will include the country’s first Vertical School, directly accessible within the development.

Vertical schools represent an architectural evolution in educational design, where learning environments are structured within multi-level, purpose-built towers rather than sprawling, land-intensive campuses. 

This vertical format is especially suited for urban and high-density settings, allowing architects to maximise limited land while maintaining functional, child-centric spaces. Each floor is typically designed to serve a specific age group or learning theme, with clear spatial zoning that supports developmental needs and intuitive wayfinding. 

SkyWorld Pearlmont – Designed for Generations

Set on 31 acres of freehold land in the heart of Seberang Jaya, Phase 1A of SkyWorld Pearlmont offers:

• 1,846 units in 3 towers, 900 sq ft each with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms
• Prices from RM328,000 – RM382,000, including options with 1 or 2 carparks
• 10-acre elevated landscape park, the largest in Penang
• SkyWorld Healthy Home features: passive design, natural light & ventilation
• Pay-per-Use clubhouse with infinity pool, pickleball/badminton courts, kids’ playland, gym
• Smart community living via the SkyWorld Connects App

Inclusive Ownership, Economic Impact

Unlike traditional public housing, Rumah Bakat MADANI units are freehold and open to all Malaysians, including non-Penangites working in the state, particularly in the E&E (Electric and Electronic) and industrial sectors that drive Penang’s economy.

This project aims to not only invite young talents from across Malaysia to call Penang home or only about housing, but it is also about building a stronger economy and community. 

A National Model for Public-Private Collaboration

SkyWorld Pearlmont is part of a broader initiative to deliver 500,000 affordable homes by 2025 and stands as a national model for collaborative governance.

Backed by SkyWorld’s proven track record of three consecutive FIABCI World Prix d’Excellence wins, the company is now bringing that global standard into affordable housing, demonstrating its consistency and commitment to delivering quality developments across Malaysia.
