University metropolis a bridge away from Penang Island
Utropolis Batu Kawan, Penang is designed as a holistic hub.
University projects almost always take a commanding position in any given development due to their potential to draw in sizeable student populations. This is especially true with established and proven institutions of higher learning. Located at Seberang Perai Selatan, Utropolis Batu Kawan, Penang intends to take a step further.
The university metropolis is created as a holistic IT hub, incorporating leisure, entertainment, retail, education and residential elements. Following the success at Glenmarie, Utropolis Batu Kawan aims to replicate the thriving environment by being the first university metropolis in Penang. The masterplan revolves around the UOW Malaysia KDU Penang University College, a 10.5 acres flagship campus with a capacity of 5,000 students.
Besides being an educational haven, Utropolis Batu Kawan by Paramount Property is a self-contained and integrated township, built around the concept of a sustainable metropolis with walkable connectivity. For example, phase one of Utropolis Batu Kawan presents the Sensasi Commercial and Residential Suites, linked to the UOW Malaysia KDU Penang University College via a bridge for easy access. Eventually, all phases will be interconnected with security features for the safety of users and residents.
With regards to location, Utropolis Batu Kawan is sited 1km from the Penang’s second bridge and close by the North-South Highway. From the bridge, the Penang International Airport is also easily reachable. Just a short walk from the development itself, residents can find shopping centres, commercial hubs and medical facilities such as IKEA, the Design Village Outlet Mall, or the Columbia Asia Hospital.
To facilitate the process of moving in, the homes are partially furnished.
