Ideal spot for condo living
A HIGH-END condominium which is located close to established amenities and facilities is always a draw for potential housebuyers.
This is being offered by Palmex Industries Sdn Bhd through its latest RM175mil Fettes Residen-ces Condominium project in Jalan Tanjung Tokong on Penang island.
Those interested can check out the company’s booth at the Star Property Fair.
The 35-storey block on freehold land consists of 195 luxury condominiums.

The company’s general manager Ang Hooi Eow said the project was located within the vicinity of established amenities and facilities at one’s convenience.
“It is just a five-minute drive from Gurney Drive, home to Penang’s most famous glitzy shopping mall Gurney Plaza,” he said in an interview.
Other amenities which are nearby include healthcare services, international school and colleges, modern shopping complexes and sandy beaches.
Priced from RM836,800, each unit has a built-up space of 2,000 sq ft onwards complete with resort-styled recreation and facilities.
The facilities available are swimming pool and children’s pool, gymnasium, snooker room, table tennis room, barbecue centre, basketball court, skate board rink, water feature and fountain, children playground, resting kiosks, leisure walking path and jacuzzi at swimming area.
“Besides, we also have a 22,000 sq ft landscaped area and an interior landscaped garden,” he said, adding that the project was scheduled for completion in June 2011.
Ang said 35% of the units had been sold.
“Those interested in buying the units will receive a special promotion package during the fair.
“They will also benefit from zero bank interest during construction. We expect many enquiries during the fair,” he said.
Ang said each unit was allocated two covered car parks and there would be four high-speed lifts in the block to minimise waiting time.
“Despite all the facilities, the monthly service charge for each unit is only RM400. There are also six penthouses of 4,000 sq ft. Most of the condominium units have sea views.”
The Star Property Fair 2009, organised by The Star in collaboration with Henry Butcher Malaysia and supported by The Expat Group, will feature the creme de la creme of property at the G Hotel. A ‘lifestyle’ section has also been introduced as an extension of the fair at the Gurney Plaza where visitors will find a varied selection of home improvement products and offerings with the aim of converting a property into a dream home.
Bargains galore at fair
