What $940,000 Buys You in Penang Today — Inside a New Freehold Landed Estate

A new freehold landed development in Penang, Malaysia launched for sale in Singapore this weekend.

Jesselton Courtyard is located in Jesselton Selatan at the foot of Penang Hill, and the neighbourhood is a low-density residential enclave next to Penang Turf Club and Kensington Gardens. It is also close to the Pulau Tikus neighbourhood and George Town district.

Developed by Berjaya Land Development, Jesselton Courtyard features 239 residences with prices starting from RM2.957 million ($937,124) for a Courtyard Villa, and RM6.631 million ($2.1 million) for Courtyard Homes.

There are 207 Courtyard Villas with two different unit types. The four-bedroom version occupies 1 ⅕-stories and includes a maids room, five bathrooms, a power room, and four car parking lots. These units have a built up area that range from 2,734 to 3,068 sq ft.

Meanwhile, there are six-bedroom units that span two floors and include a maids room, six bathrooms, a power room, and four car parking lots. These units have interior built up areas of 3,348 sq ft with private courtyard spaces that range from 355 – 1,819 sq ft

There are also 32 four-storey Courtyard Homes that feature six-bedrooms, a maid’s room, seven bathrooms, two powder rooms, as well as 6 car parking lots. These homes sit on land sites that range from 3,401 to 3,466 sq ft, with built-up areas of 6,649 sq ft. 

An interesting layout design is that each unit type features a dual-key configuration. This type of flexibility opens up plenty of usability options for families, turning rooms into home offices, or to accommodate different living arrangements.

Some of the resident facilities at the development include landscaped communal spaces, fitness and wellness zones, swimming pools, function halls, and family-oriented amenities.

In Singapore, Jesselton Courtyard is marketed by Savills Singapore, who is showcasing this project at Voco Orchard Hotel this weekend.
