AS a top development in a prime location, City Residence in Tanjung Tokong on Penang island is certainly a wonderful place to call home.

Developed by Ivory Properties Group Bhd, it is located in close proximity to amenities like banks, eateries, hospitals, shopping malls, schools and more.

Residents taking up the 202 cosmopolitan -style condominiums will enjoy a tranquil urban oasis that opens up to panoramic views of the city skyline.

Studio apartments occupy the 7th to 10th floors while typical units and penthouses are on subsequent levels of the twin 39-storey towers.

Sized from 460sq ft to 5,600sq ft, all units feature attractive contemporary interior designs that should appeal to young elites and modern families who seek a trendy home.

Interested parties can check out the City Residence project at the StarProperty.my Fair 2017 in Gurney Plaza and Gurney Paragon Mall from July 20 to 23.

The typical units are available in three options starting with Type I measuring 1,700sq ft that has three bedrooms and four bathrooms.

Type II measuring 1,230sq ft comes with three bedrooms and three bathrooms while Type III at 1,830sq ft has three bedrooms and four bathrooms.

The building’s stylish facade incorporating large overhangs and shading not only adds visual appeal but also reduces heat transmission into units.

This ensures that interiors are comfortable and cool. This is just the way one’s refuge should be.

Those interested in City Residence should act fast though as only a limited number of units are still available, priced from RM665,000.

The project has obtained its Certificate of Completion and Compliance, another boon for buyers who wish to move in immediately.

City Residence, which sits on 2.42 acres of prime land along the Tanjung Tokong main road, is also designed to strike a balance between work, home and play.

As such, myriad recreational facilities are available.

Take a stroll around the manicured gardens surrounding the facilities floor or dip into the infinity pool and feel your worries floating away.

Children can entertain themselves at the playground, kid’s pool and slide while the adults can enjoy the semi-outdoor fitness park.

Residents can hold parties at the barbeque pavilion and gathering plaza. Otherwise, get together with friends and loved ones in the community hall.

Below the condominiums are a block of retail outlets, which in the near future will offer residents even more convenience.

Another project to consider is Tropicana Bay Residences, which should appeal to those living or working in the southeastern parts of Penang island.

Tropicana Bay Residences is Phase 1A of the Penang WorldCity mega seafront development.

It comprises six blocks of freehold upmarket condominiums known as Towers A to F.

Units come in a variety of sizes and layouts to suit indiviual occupants to large families. They range from 455sq ft up to 1,945sq ft.

Construction is progressing well and is expected to be completed by the end of this year.

Response has been overwhelming thus far and 90% of the units have been sold.

The development features green surroundings and multi-tiered security systems, offering both a wholesome living environment and peace of mind.

Dwellers will have no problems venturing out for their daily needs as there are several shopping centres close by.

Parents need not worry about searching for schools as there are educational options aplenty near the project.
