Premier lifestyle property developer Eastern & Oriental Berhad today announced that its township development project, Andaman Island Phase 1 has attained GreenRE Platinum Provisional Certification under the township category. GreenRE was formed by Malaysia’s Real Estate and Housing Developers Association (“REHDA”) in 2003 to promote sustainability in Malaysia’s property sector.

On top of the township category win, Andaman’s maiden launch, The Meg, and second development, Arica have also received the GreenRE Platinum Provisional Certifications under the residential category.

E&O managing director Kok Tuck Cheong said, “We are honoured to receive recognition from REHDA for our Andaman Island Phase 1, The Meg and Arica. Being the first township in Malaysia to receive such award, it is a testament to our commitment to sustainable development and living.

At the heart of Andaman is green living and community building, where we seek to promote a healthy and active lifestyle through various initiatives on the island. E&O’s commitment to sustainability principles is exemplified by the rigorous urban design guidelines of Andaman Island, which will be the guiding principles for its sustainable development.

Lastly, we would like to thank Yang Amat Berhormat, Chow Kon Yeow and the Penang state government for their continuous support. Without their support, Andaman Island would not have been possible.”

Andaman Island Phase 1 is a 15-20 year township development project between E&O’s subsidiary, Tanjung Pinang Development Sdn. Bhd. and KWEST Sdn Bhd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Kumpulan Wang Persaraan (Diperbadankan), commonly known as KWAP through a special purpose vehicle, Persada Mentari Sdn Bhd under an 80% and 20% basis.

The Gurney Wharf project has been officially renamed as Gurney Bay. The change in name was deemed necessary to better represent the project’s location and concept. The decision came after receiving complaints that the original name was not appropriate because there was no wharf or pier at the site.

To determine a new name, an online poll was conducted, and the majority of respondents chose Gurney Bay. Thus, the decision was made to officially change the project’s name.

The Gurney Bay project, which began in 2016, is being constructed on reclaimed land off Gurney Drive. It is divided into two priority phases. Priority 1 includes various components such as a children’s play area, skate park, viewing deck, public toilets, promenade, hawker stalls, retail areas, recreation park, hawker kiosks, open car park, and a reclamation area for water bodies.

Priority 2 encompasses a hawker center, retail area, convenience stores, additional hawkers’ kiosks, multi-storey car park, water garden, surau, water taxis jetty, man-made beach, refuse center, and more. The completion of Priority 1 is expected in July of this year, with the entire project set to be finished in 2025.
