Lumina Residence

Density is the number that defines this project. Two towers, 44 storeys each, **596 homes total — nine per floor**.

For comparison, a George Town tower of this height would commonly carry sixteen to twenty units per floor. Nine means fewer neighbours sharing your lift core, less corridor traffic, and a floor plate where most units get two exposures rather than one.

The vertical stacking is straightforward: **Levels 1 to 8 are car park, Levels 9 and 10 are the facilities floors, and Levels 11 to 43a are residential.** Putting the facilities at level 9 rather than on a low podium means the pool and gardens sit above the surrounding rooftops, which is what makes the sea and city views work from the deck.

### Unit Types at Lumina Residence

Six layouts, all three-bedroom with two bathrooms, separated mainly by size and position within the floor plate.

| Type | Built-up | Bedrooms | Bathrooms | |---|---|---|---| | Type A | 1,518 sq ft | 3 | 2 | | Type B1 | 1,432 sq ft | 3 | 2 | | Type B | 1,346 sq ft | 3 | 2 | | Type D1 | 1,324 sq ft | 3 | 2 | | Type C | 1,216 sq ft | 3 | 2 | | Type D | 1,206 sq ft | — | — |

Every layout in the published set carries a master bedroom with its own bathroom, two secondary bedrooms sharing a second bathroom, a separate kitchen with a yard behind it, a foyer at the entry, and a balcony off the living area. The plans are conventional in the best sense — no awkward angles, no bedroom opening directly onto the living room.

Type D at 1,206 sq ft is the one layout the developer has not released a plan for; its bedroom and bathroom count is left blank here rather than assumed.

The facilities occupy two full floors:

- **Olympic-sized swimming pool** with pool lounge and wading pool- **Sky garden**, serenity lawn and maze garden- **Barbeque pavilion** and sunken seating area- Gym room- Canopy bridge linking the two towers’ decks- Swing of cocoon, chess corner and skyline seating- Reading corner

Security runs to four tiers. Balconies come with a water tap, which is a small thing that matters if you plan to plant anything out there.

Lumina Residence sits on a **freehold residential title**. That is worth stating plainly because most new high-rise stock on Penang island is a serviced apartment on commercial title. Residential title means utility tariffs and assessment rates follow residential schedules rather than commercial ones, and there is no conversion application to worry about later.

The site is off **Burmah Road**, behind SJK(C) Union, in the older residential grid between Pulau Tikus and George Town proper. This is one of the few pockets on the island where a genuinely new tower can still go up inside an established neighbourhood rather than on reclaimed land or a hillside.

What is within reach:

- **Gleneagles Hospital Penang** — 1 km- **Island Hospital** — 1.5 km- **Gurney Walk at Ascott** — 1.5 km- **1st Avenue Mall** — 2.5 km- **Gurney Plaza and Gurney Paragon** — 3 km- **St. Christopher’s International School** — 4.5 km- Greenhouse Prawn Mee — 700 m, for the hawker-food test that matters to most Penang buyers

Two private hospitals inside 1.5 km is the standout here. For a household thinking about ageing parents, that proximity is worth more than another facilities deck.

Lumina Residence is developed by **Unicorn Salute Sdn Bhd**, part of **VST Group**, in joint venture with BSG. VST Group has been building in Penang and Terengganu since the 1990s across residential, hospitality and institutional work — its portfolio includes The Westin Penang, Cantonment Residence and Central Residence, alongside government and hospital projects.
