Getting around
Location & connectivity
Gurney Drive, George Town, Penang, Malaysia
Why this stretch of coast
Gurney Drive is the address Penang measures other addresses against. The development sits directly opposite Gurney Plaza and fronts Gurney Bay, the reclaimed seafront park that replaced the old mudflats with a beach, promenade and open parkland — the single biggest change to this coastline in a generation.
Everything a resident needs daily is inside a ten-minute drive: two flagship malls within walking distance, three private hospitals, the UNESCO heritage core, and the coastal expressway that carries you to the bridge and the airport without touching the city centre.
