TROPICANA 218 Macalister is an integrated mixed development located in Penang’s historic UNESCO World Heritage-listed capital city, George Town, and fashionably designed to offer residents contemporary urban living alongside comprehensive facilities, myriad conveniences and lifestyle luxuries.
Fronting the shady Macalister Road and set for completion in 2018, it comprises versatile Neo Suites, luxurious serviced residences and the first Courtyard by Marriott Hotel in Malaysia, spread across two towers. Its podium will house retail shops, while alongside it is a refurbished mansion commemorating the island’s rich history.
It is being developed by Tropicana Macalister Avenue (Penang) Sdn. Bhd., a member of Tropicana Corporation Bhd (formerly known as Dijaya Corporation Bhd.) that is known for its many successful projects across Malaysia. They include the award-winning Tropicana Golf and Country Resort, Tropicana Grande, Tropicana Metropark, and many other residential and commercial undertakings.
Primed for a contemporary way of life, Tropicana 218 Macalister’s stylish residential units come in a broad spectrum of sizes and are catered to urbanites who desire great flexibility in workstyles and lifestyles, with convenience at their fingertips.
They are spread across two blocks – the Tower T and Tower M, which rise to 32 and 33 storeys respectively, including the 11-storey podium block which will house the car park, retail shops, and lifestyle facilities. Construction is ongoing on the 2.1-acre site along Macalister Road – one of the remaining few plots of prime freehold land there – and expected to be finished sometime in early 2018.
Luxury and vibrancy are common characteristics of new developments in Penang’s capital city George Town. It is not enough just to have a home, as owners nowadays desire convenience at their fingertips alongside an exciting living environment to indulge in life’s pleasures.
Tropicana 218 Macalister is just one of many to offer such a premise. The broad range of unit sizes and versatility of its layouts cater to a wide spectrum of prospective buyers. While some may enjoy having a retail base within their building, others may not fancy the bustle it brings. And sharing part of the building with a hotel, should also be factored in alongside the commercial title.
