Those desiring an upscale lifestyle in Penang’s Jesselton residential area can now secure a spot of their own with the launch of Jesselton Courtyard. The pre-launch for the new development, which was held at the Berjaya Property Gallery, Penang, was a much anticipated affair. The take-up rate for Jesselton Courtyard’s 239 units was already 45% at the time of the pre-launch.

“We believe this is partly due to its location in the centre of Penang island. “Many Penangites have been wanting to live in the prestigious Jesselton neighbourhood but there have been no new property developments until now,” said Berjaya Land Bhd group chief executive officer Syed Ali Shahul Hameed. He added that Jesselton Courtyard, flanked by Kensington Gardens and Penang Turf Club, would likely become a sought- after address.

“With its low-density living and prime freehold land, Jesselton Courtyard is an exceptional investment opportunity for discerning property buyers. “The generous built-up space of the residences ensures a luxurious living experience and enhances the property’s long-term value,” said Syed Ali. Also present at the launch were Berjaya Land Bhd group executive director Datuk Abdul Rahim Mohd Zin, executive director Tan Tee Ming and property project senior general manager Ow Hin Fatt.

Jesselton Courtyard units will be built to a maximum height of five levels and are spread across 4.82ha of land. Situated at the base of Penang Hill with its 130-million-year-old rainfore.
