AS one of the country’s premier lifestyle developers, Eastern and Oriental Bhd (E&O) has introduced its latest waterfront residence in Penang, the elegant Maris.
Located within the vibrant Gurney Green district on Andaman Island, the RM700mil development epitomises marina-inspired living and will offer future residents a unique blend of urban convenience and tranquil seafront elegance.
Set within its 49-storey tower are 516 furnished serviced residences designed to cater to diverse lifestyles, with sizes starting at 979 sq ft for two-bedroom units. Three-bedroom units range from 1,177 sq ft to 1,356 sq ft.
All types offer practical layouts with premium finishes and generous natural lighting, perfect for discerning homeowners seeking a dynamic and distinguished lifestyle, be it young families, retirees or even downsizers.
Besides being comfortable homes, units are also excellent investment opportunities. Prices are expected to start from RM950,000.
Adding allure are the curated amenities which include an infinity pool, forest park, pet park, gymnasium and social spaces.
Residents can also take in the iconic Gurney Drive and George Town skylines from the sky terrace which feature swinging daybeds and outdoor dining areas.
Maris would also have eight waterfront shophouses at its podium, to house cafes, restaurants and boutique retail outlets, bringing the best of lifestyle and leisure to one's doorstep.
E&O Bhd managing director Kok Tuck Cheong said the recently soft-launched project epitomises modern waterfront living where comfort, functionality and sustainability converge.
"The marina-edge concept results in a vibrant yet serene environment where everyday essentials are just steps away.
"Maris is more than just a home. It is an experience, crafted with meticulous attention to detail to enhance residents' quality of life," he shared.
As the first project to activate the Gurney Green waterfront promenade, Maris would also transform the area into a welcoming space that fosters social interaction and communal living.
"Designed with walkability in mind, the promenade ensures easy access to amenities while encouraging an active, outdoor lifestyle. It will be a place for people to gather, connect and enjoy shared experiences," Kok explained.
Epitomising E&O Bhd's commitment to sustainability, Maris meets Platinum GreenRE standards through use of environmentally-conscious and quality materials alongside best practices.
Its location on Andaman Island, a meticulously-planned 760-acre township, means residents benefit from the "15-minute city" urbanism concept - where all daily conveniences are within a short walk or bike ride.
The island will also be connected to Gurney Drive via a dedicated eight-lane bridge, set to open later this year.
"Maris builds on the momentum of our highly-successful launches on Andaman Island thus far, including The Meg, Arica and initial phases of Fera and Senna, which are fully sold out.
"The Lume, launched last year, also saw encouraging market response. Maris and other ongoing and future phases embody our enduring commitment to crafting developments that blend elegance, functionality and sustainability," Kok added.
Show units for Maris are now open for viewing at the E&O Sales Gallery on Andaman Island.
Drop by between 11am and 6pm this Feb 1 for its Chinese New Year celebrations and enjoy lion dances, workshops and a Chinese orchestra performance alongside light refreshments.
