In luxury real estate, the E&O brand resonates with quiet authority
Eastern and Oriental Bhd, better known as E&O, is a premier luxury property developer known for its distinctive developments across Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Johor’s Iskandar Malaysia and Central London. The brand is synonymous with timeless elegance, luxury and the comfort of premier living. It is designed to meet the expectations of discerning buyers who value both an elevated lifestyle and environmental responsibility. Each project is meticulously crafted to stand the test of time, exemplified by the visionary Andaman Island, which was conceived over 20 years ago with a 50-year legacy in mind.
With a deep understanding of the luxury market, E&O consistently creates high-value, sustainable communities. In Kuala Lumpur, the developer’s portfolio includes premium properties in prestigious locations. Two prime examples are Conlay and The Peak, luxury residences that have achieved GreenRE Gold certification for sustainable development, underscoring E&O’s commitment to environmental stewardship.
In Penang, the 240-acre Seri Tanjung Pinang (STP) seafront community embodies the perfect blend of island living and international appeal. Home to over 3,000 families from more than 30 countries, STP is celebrated as Penang’s most desirable residential address. Across the water lies Andaman Island, a 760-acre development set to become the heart of Penang. The island’s design incorporates advanced infrastructure, scenic promenades and dedicated cycling and bus lanes, ensuring an eco-friendly lifestyle for its residents.

Andaman Island is a prime example of how modern urban planning can coexist with environmental conservation. Phase 1 of Andaman Island has already received Malaysia’s first GreenRE Platinum Provisional Certificate for a township, recognising its leadership in energy efficiency, water conservation, indoor air quality and sustainable materials. Two of its residential phases, The Meg and Arica, were the first in Penang to receive Platinum certification, solidifying E&O’s reputation for excellence in sustainability. More recently, the developments of The Lume, Senna and Fera have also earned GreenRE Platinum Provisional Certificates.
Ensuring superb connectivity, Andaman Island will have a link bridge each from STP (Andaman Bridge) and Gurney Bay (Gurney Bridge) to enable access across Penang. Planned for a self-sustaining community, it incorporates the districts of residential (Shoreline), commercial (Gurney Green) and mixed use (Canal side), while the island’s infrastructure are designed for a lifestyle that embraces walkability. At the development, open communal spaces are ubiquitous, making organising social gatherings and cultivating fitness a pleasant way of life. A testament to Andaman’s excellent planning, phase 1 and 2 of Fera and Senna have been fully sold.
Strategic prime areas
In Johor, E&O has developed Avira, a luxury residential enclave within Bandar Medini Iskandar, offering easy access to Singapore via the Second Link. This strategic location makes Avira an attractive option for residents seeking proximity to both Malaysia and Singapore.
Beyond Malaysia, E&O has expanded into prime areas of Central London.
Notable developments include the 54-unit Lincoln Suites, Princes House along Kingsway, ESCA House in Bayswater and a commercial property in Hammersmith. These international ventures showcase the developer’s expertise in establishing premium properties in some of the world’s most coveted locations.
E&O also pushes boundaries when it comes to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) practices. The developer has donated 131 acres of land along Gurney Drive for the creation of public parks, promenades and retail spaces, contributing to community engagement and enhancing local infrastructure. These efforts were recognised with the Industry Excellence Award for Property and a top 20 ranking in the National Corporate Governance & Sustainability Awards.
Reducing carbon footprint
In Penang, E&O’s Tanjung Pinang Straits Quay received Diamond Recognition from the Majlis Bandaraya Pulau Pinang for its efforts in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing carbon sequestration. This award highlights the developer’s ongoing dedication to sustainability.
E&O is equally committed to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives, supporting local communities through charity runs, festive events, charitable donations and school refurbishments. Additionally, the company sponsors school competitions, art exhibitions and educational programs, fostering both cultural and academic development in the communities it serves. Through these efforts, E&O continues to make a positive impact on society while maintaining its focus on creating sustainable, luxury living environments.
E&O sets itself apart not only by building developments but also by offering impeccably comfortable and elegant living environments associated with upscale communities. Further enhancing its development approach is a strong commitment to impactful ESG and CSR practices, creating spaces that prioritise both exceptional lifestyles and meaningful contributions to environmental and social well-being.
