Queensbay - the only development in Penang that encompasses an entirely new upmarket waterfront development. With a gross development value of RM2 billion, Queensbay is currently the most anticipated and exciting project to hit the shores of the island. Sprawling over 73 acres prime freehold land in the south eastern seaboard of the island, this well planned and integrated development will comprise of bungalows, semi-ds, seafront villas, condominium, service apartment, shop offices, corporate towers, hotel and the largest and longest shopping mall in Penang.

Eighty per cent of the land area has been designated for commercial use; the remaining 20% is residential. The commercial gross floor area totals 5.6 million sq ft.

At the heart of Queensbay is Queensbay Mall. Queensbay Mall will be the biggest retail property development on Penang Island, boasting a gross built-up of 2.6 million sq ft. Even more significantly, the mall has been envisioned as a brand-new shopping, entertainment and lifestyle concept that will revolutionise the retail scene in Penang.

Queensbay exciting lifestyle concept provides for a vibrant waterfront living to its residential development that is guarded in an enclave that exudes a sense of tranquility and peace. Whether it is a leisurely sunset walks by the waterfront, alfresco dining on the wharf or shopping galore at the nearby mall, residents will enjoy the best of urban living and natural surroundings.

Meticulously planned and integrated, Queenbay's distinctive architecture designs and world class amenities would put this development as most sought after haven and a source of promising investment opportunities in the region.

Unparalleled Location

Sited in a "hard to replace" location, Queensbay has received overwhelming response from home buyers and investors as evident in our recent launches. Strategically located along the south-eastern foreshore of Penang Island, Queensbay is midway between the Penang Bridge interchange and the Bayan Lepas Industrial Park. It is also situated in an area declared as the Penang Cybercity 1 (PCC1) which forms part of the Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC). Accessibility to Queensbay is supported with excellent infrastructure via the dual carriageways of Bayan-Lepas Jelutong expressway whilst benefiting from its close linkage to alternative routes such as Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah, Jalan Tun Dr Awang and Jalan Aziz Ibrahim.

Queesbay 's location will further be enhanced in the near future with the development of the proposed second link bridge and the RM1 billion Penang Outer Ring Road (PORR) carriageway connecting to Gurney Driv

Penang 'Queens City' draws good response
By Marina Emmanuel
October 23 2007
BusinessTimes


http://img32.picoodle.com/img/img32/6/11/2/f_Queensbaym_26f8a36.jpg

The CP Group’s Queensbay mixed-development scheme
in Bayan Baru has sold very well since its launch.

The 6.4ha 'Queens City' township carries a gross development value of RM1 billion and will offer a waterfront promenade and view of the Penang Bridge

AN INTEGRATED and self-contained township called "Queens City" on the southwest end of Penang island has attracted interests from Malaysian and foreign buyers.

The 6.4ha waterfront development to be undertaken by Kuala Lumpur-based CP Group is to offer retail and food and beverage outlets, fully-furnished serviced residents, office suites and a five-star hotel, its developers say.

It carries a gross development value of RM1 billion and will offer a waterfront promenade and view of the Penang Bridge.

"We are currently in talks several international hotel chains on managing the water-fronting hotel, " CP Land Sdn Bhd chief executive officer Tony Lim told Business Times.

The CP Group, which owns and manages the Eastin Hotel in Kuala Lumpur, is investing in excess of RM100 million for a business-class hotel (also under the Eastin brand) at "Queensbay" which is slated for completion by the end of 2008.

The "Queens City" project forms part of the 30ha "Queensbay" masterplan development.

Lim said the five-star hotel will boost among others a 2,000 person capacity ballroom and the "Queen City" project is expected to commence next year and is slated for completion by 2012.

"The four blocks of office suites are planned to cater for Multimedia Super Corridor-status firms," he added, "and we are currently building a back-up 33kv power substation which will be ready in two years to meet the needs of the MSC-status companies which will be operating from Queensbay".

Meanwhile, Lim also said the CP Group is exploring the Vietnam property market currently.

"Nothing is firmed up as yet, but we are looking into an integrated property project in Hanoi," he added.

Queensbay lure: CP Land project capitalises on strategic location
Saturday January 5, 2008
By DAVID TAN
TheStar

CP LAND has lined up for launch this year three residential and commercial property schemes with an estimated gross sales value of RM1.7bil for the Queensbay project that would further enhance its reputation as one of the most prestigious addresses in Penang.

Located on 73 acres freehold site in the south-eastern corridor of the island, the RM3bil Queensbay development comprises luxurious residential homes, shopoffices, signature office suites, corporate towers, serviced residences, business class hotels, a convention centre, a medical centre, marina, waterfront retail shops, and the largest and longest shopping mall in the northern region.

“To continue developing high quality lifestyle properties for Queensbay, we are capitalising on its strategic location next to the sea, easy accessibility and matured surroundings for our new launches next year,” group executive chairman Datuk Tan Chew Piau says.

“The three schemes to be launched next year are the RM500mil Bay Villas, the RM200mil Queens Wharf, and a yet to be named RM1bil integrated commercial precinct, which are all sea-fronting properties. CP group is one of the handful developers on the island with landed and high rise residential and commercial properties fronting the sea,” Tan adds.



http://star-space.com/archives/2008/1/5/pnews/bw_03tan.jpg

Tan showing the plans for one of the group's forthcoming projects.



The Bay Villas comprises 86 units of three-storey waterfront and garden villas, while the RM200mil Queens Wharf is one iconic 10-storey building of 150 serviced apartments.

The Bay Villas linked units have built-up areas of between 4,000 and 5,000 sq ft.

“The units have designs and themes irresistible to those willing to spend on luxurious living.

“The units, with full sea view, are equipped with a roof top garden terrace, private waterfront garden, and a private infinity pool.

“The Bay Villas, scheduled for launching in the first quarter of 2008, will be priced between RM3.8mil and RM5mil,” he says.

Targeted for launch in the second quarter of 2008 is the Queensbay Wharf project.

The iconic building of 150 serviced apartments with facilities and concierge services, with built-up areas of 1,000 to 2,000 sq ft, has panoramic view of the sea, Penang Bridge, Pulau Jerejak, and Seberang Prai.

“There will also be retail and food and entertainment outlets at the ground floor,” he says.

The Bay Villas and the Queens Wharf projects are scheduled for completion respectively in 2010 and 2011.



http://star-space.com/archives/2008/1/5/pnews/bw_03bayavenue.jpg

The Bay Avenue three-storey shop offices launched some 18 months ago.



To be launched in the third quarter of 2008 is the integrated commercial precinct that has yet to be named, Tan says.

The unnamed project is the single largest commercial development consisting of prominent retail outlets, a five-star business class hotel, equipped with a 2,000 capacity ballroom, four blocks of corporate towers and five blocks of super luxurious fully furnished serviced residences.

Surrounding this unique commercial development is a waterfront promenade with viewing decks.

“This business precinct, scheduled for completion in four years, will form Penang's new central business district on the island,” Tan says.

The group's high-end properties, launched for the Queensbay project, have so far been well received by Penangites, who have the reputation of holding tight to their wallets.

To date, CP Land has sold about 80% of the RM500mil residential and commercial properties launched since 2005.



http://star-space.com/archives/2008/1/5/pnews/bw_03bayvillas.jpg

The Bay Villas to be launched in the next few months.



Tan says that about 80% of the purchasers are local, from Penang and neighbouring states, while the remainder are sold to foreign buyers.

Tan says the group is getting more interests from Asian and European buyers who are making enquiries on the Queensbay properties.

“We are attracting attention, as our properties are far more competitively priced than properties of similar range in prime locations overseas.

The innovative designs and concepts of properties that were usually found in big metropolitan cities are mainly responsible for the strong sales of the Queensbay project, Tan says.

For example, the Bay Capital, one of our current ongoing projects, comprising 98 corporate suites with built-up areas of between 983 and 2,955 sq ft, are column-free, and designed with a stunning granite grand lobby and an inspiring triple volume ceiling height.

The units are equipped with en-suite private washrooms, private pantries, and are broadband ready.

The Bay Capital is also a Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC)-compliant building.

“Since its soft launch two months ago, the Bay Capital has sold about 60% of its properties, which are priced between RM350,000 and RM790,000,” he adds.

Another example is the Bay Avenue's three storey shop offices which have high-ceilings, larger built-up areas between 4,000 and 6,000 sq ft, and are equipped with elevators.

The ground floor is fronted by a landscaped boulevard, wide veranda and walkways, which is perfect for retail ventures.

Every unit comes with convenient common lift access and broadband connectivity.

“The capital value of Bay Avenue has appreciated about 50% from RM940,000 some 18 months ago to about RM1.5mil recently, when one customer offered to buy a Bay Avenue unit for RM1.5mil,” he says.

Tan adds that many of Queensbay's investors have also bought other types of property launched by the group for the development.

“Besides buying our first launches in Queensbay, they also invested in other ranges of property planned for the new phases of the project,” he says.

On CP Land forthcoming projects in Kuala Lumpur, Tan says the group is now planning a mixed-development project on a prime seven-acre site in the city.

“We are in the advanced stages of finalising the details of the project, which will be implemented in the first quarter of 2008,” he says.

Meanwhile, Henry Butcher (M) director Dr Teoh Poh Huat says the value of properties in Queensbay and the surrounding neighbourhood has appreciated between 20% and 30% over the past two to three years.

Teoh says the Queensbay residential projects owed much of its success to the Queensbay shopping mall and the surrounding retail outlets and offices developed by CP Land.

“Nowadays the trend is to look for residential properties that are close to the comforts of modern lifestyle living such as shopping amenities, entertainment centres, and food and beverage outlets,” he adds.

CP group is planning an expansion exercise to add 400,000 sq ft of lettable floor area in view of the growing demand for retail space.

The expansion exercise is expected to be implemented in 2009 and scheduled be completed in 2010.

“The proximity of the Queensbay project to the Free Industrial Zone (FIZ) is also one of its selling points.

“The FIZ has created a category of middle and upper income group with the purchasing power to buy luxurious lifestyle projects in Queensbay,” Teoh says.

Hey, I was wondering when will the BayAvenue shop houses be occupied? I've noticed it's completely empty for ~6 months now :( I thought that project was sold out?

[dingdangdong]

For anyone interested, there's a newly created forum to discuss Queensbay area and it's specific projects: queensbay.invisionplus.net

[built_in_me]

........................

[kubundu]

I went around Bay Avenue yesterday, seems very slow response from the market. Only a few units are actually occupied i.e Kuwait Finance House, a police station, a DIGI shop getting prepared, a beauty shop/spa and some company I can't remember. All the other units still have "For Rent" stickers on them.
