Trendy spot to live, work and play


Tropicana 218 Macalister, strategically located in the heart of George Town, Penang, will be a coveted address that redefines urban living when completed in 2018.

Taking shape on 2.1 acres (0.85ha) of freehold land and developed by Tropicana Corporation Bhd, it blends ultra-modern lifestyle and design concepts with comprehensive facilities and heritage elements.

There are 211 Neo designer suites and 88 serviced residences spread across two main blocks – the 32-storey Tower T and 33-storey Tower M.

Tropicana Corp sales and marketing manager Amanda Lee said the Neo suites sized from 378 to 1,312 sq ft were ideal for modern professionals who seek a trendy space to live, work and play.

Those interested can check out the project at the Star Property Fair 2015 in Queensbay Mall from Oct 1 to 4.

Luxurious facilities are located on the 11th floor deck.

One can unwind by taking a dip in the infinity swimming pool and gaze out upon the city skyline, relax in the Jacuzzi or simply laze around the open pool deck with a good book.

The children’s playground will be a favourite of the little ones while the aqua gym and rock-climbing area should appeal to active and outdoor-oriented folk who love to sweat it out.

Otherwise, have gatherings at the barbecue area, multipurpose hall or dining area or head to the seaview sky lounge to take in breathtaking vistas.

A round-the-clock multi-tier security system and CCTV surveillance ensure peace of mind for the residents.

Lee pointed out that to date, 85% of the project sited along Macalister Road had been taken up.

The serviced residences, which are of similar sizes to the Neo suites, are already sold out.

“A 200-room Courtyard by Marriott Hotel, 20 boutique retail lots and a restored colonial mansion will be integrated into the RM320mil development,” said Lee.

Besides these unique elements, another factor that makes Tropicana 218 Macalister an attractive buy is its close proximity to various amenities in the city.

Popular eateries along the same road and also New Lane are within walking distance.

So is the iconic Komtar building, home to retail outlets, transport facilities and administrative offices.

Various shopping malls, educational institutions, healthcare facilities, tourist sites and other amenities are also just a short drive away.

It is open daily from 10.30am to 10.30pm. Admission is free. - By The Star
