The Coast incorporates energy-efficient systems, pedestrian-friendly designs and lush greenery to promote eco-friendly living and operations.
SET to rise majestically along Penang Island’s southwestern shoreline, The Coast is not just a mixed development but a visionary statement of intent.
A bold reimagining of how business, lifestyle and sustainability can converge in perfect harmony, this landmark 2ha (5.15-acre) undertaking by the Penang Development Corporation (PDC) will redefine the state’s urban landscape and business ecosystem once complete by June 2030.
Located next to the landing of the Second Penang Bridge in Bayan Lepas, it features a purpose-built office tower, a corporate office tower, serviced apartments, commercial spaces and a scenic waterfront promenade.
The future-ready, Grade A office spaces are designed to meet the exacting standards and global positioning of multinational corporations in a constantly evolving and increasingly borderless world.
The purpose-built office would serve as a Digital Malaysia Cybercentre, offering advanced digital infrastructure and an ecosystem for digital economy players both locally and abroad.
But what truly sets The Coast apart will be its holistic design philosophy. This mixed-use architectural masterpiece is envisioned as a living community shaped by purpose and sustainability.
With expected GreenRE Platinum certification, it will be one of the most sustainable and eco-friendly developments in the state, if not the country.
This would be achieved through a mix of green architecture principles such as energy-efficient systems, pedestrian-friendly design and lush greenery, as well as strong stakeholder participation in environmental responsibility.
Proximity to the Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway, the Bayan Lepas Free Industrial Zone and Penang International Airport affords The Coast with connectivity that is second to none.
Its scenic waterfront setting – with a promenade making the most of the panoramic Straits of Malacca views – is another point of distinction among the state’s real estate offerings.
“The Coast will truly be an address designed for the future – one that perfectly balances enterprise with elegance, innovation with inspiration, and scenery with sustainability,” says PDC chief executive officer Datuk Aziz Bakar.
The project, he notes, will also play a pivotal role in Penang’s economic and social landscape.
“By attracting global enterprises and housing them within a digitally-connected ecosystem, it will create new employment opportunities and nurture new generations of urban professionals, further enhancing the state’s appeal as a dynamic, regional investment hub,” Aziz adds.
With its commercial spaces also set to house a plethora of retail and dining establishments, the development has all the makings of an internationally-recognised, one-stop lifestyle destination. PDC’s long-term vision for The Coast goes beyond bricks and mortar.
It is about unlocking the potential of underutilised urban assets, revitalising the coastline and driving urban renewal.
This would catalyse economic diversification and promote sustainable growth, aligning with Penang’s broader aspirations to become a globally connected innovation hub.
The Coast stands as a new icon of progress – an address where work, leisure and living merge seamlessly, bridging the Pearl of the Orient’s storied heritage with its modern global ambitions.
With planning approvals underway, the development now enters its next enticing phase.
A request for proposal (RFP) has been opened for the en bloc purchase and operation of the serviced apartments by private or institutional investors. RFP documents are available for purchase until Nov 28.
The corporate office tower and commercial spaces will be leased to retail and F&B operators.
For businesses, it represents a rare opportunity to be part of Penang’s next great address.
PDC will appoint a licensed real estate agency to market these in due course.
As Penang continues its transformation into a modern, sustainable and globally competitive city, The Coast is poised to be a proud symbol of that evolution, a coastal landmark where ambition meets stunning scenery, and where the future of the state begins.
