Westin Residence Unveils Penang’s Tallest Residential Tower
GEORGE TOWN, Sept 24 (Bernama) -- Penang’s real estate sector reached a new milestone today with the official launch of the 69-storey Westin Residences Penang -- the tallest residential building in northern Malaysia, designed with an earthquake-resistant structure.
The launch was officiated by the Raja Muda of Perlis, Tuanku Syed Faizuddin Putra Jamalullail -- who is also the chairman of Westfield Global Sdn Bhd -- at the project’s sales gallery in Gurney Drive, here today.
He was accompanied by the Raja Puan Muda of Perlis, Tuanku Lailatul Shahreen Akashah Khalil. Also present was Marriott International vice-president of Hotel Development, Asia Pacific, Andree Susilo.
In a statement distributed during the launch, Westin Residences Penang group managing director, Datuk Yeoh Yih Sean said the project builds on the success of earlier collaborations with Marriott International, including the Penang Marriott Hotel and Marriott Residences.
He added that the project has recorded a 75 per cent take-up rate since its soft launch.
“This encouraging response is a clear testament to the growing demand for branded residences that provide an elevated lifestyle and the services of a trusted brand,” he said.
Yeoh said that buyers can choose from a wide range of unit types, from 1,033 square feet (sq ft) to 3,670 sq ft, with prices starting from RM2,000 per sq ft.
