Pinnacle Bukit Gambier
Pinnacle Bukit Gambier is a freehold hillside development on Jalan Bukit Gambir in Gelugor, Penang. Two towers of 45 storeys hold 982 homes across 7.96 acres, with a 4.48-acre private green lung attached and 56% of the site kept as green space. Layouts run from 1,077 to 1,734 sq ft in eight configurations, three and four bedrooms, and every one of them has a hackable wall. The developer is Pinnacle Group and completion is targeted for Q1 2030.
Quick answer: Pinnacle Bukit Gambier is a Freehold High Rise Condominium development by Pinnacle Group in Gelugor, Penang. It offers 982 units with 3 to 4 bedroom layouts, from 1,077 to 1,734 sq ft, with completion targeted for Q1 2030.
56% Green Space and a 4.48-Acre Private Green Lung
The site is 7.96 acres but the building footprint is only about 3.5 of them. What that buys is a 4.48-acre private green lung, 900 m from the towers, and 56% of the total site kept as dedicated green space.
This is a hillside address above Bukit Gambir, backing onto the ridge rather than sitting in a built-out grid. The two towers stand roughly 30 feet apart, which matters at 45 storeys — it is what keeps the outlook open rather than staring into the neighbouring block.
Unit Types at Pinnacle Bukit Gambier
Eight layouts across two towers. Tower A carries six of them and Tower B two.
| Type | Tower | Size | Bedrooms | Bathrooms |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Type A | A | 1,077 sq ft | 3 | 3 |
| Type B | A | 1,228 sq ft | 3 | 3 |
| Type C | A | 1,282 sq ft | 3 | 3 |
| Type D | A | 1,335 sq ft | 3+1 | 3 |
| Type D1 | A | 1,388 sq ft | 3+1 | 3 |
| Type E | A | 1,669 sq ft | 4 | 4 |
| Type F | B | 1,486 sq ft | 3 | 3 |
| Type G | B | 1,734 sq ft | 4 | 4 |
The two towers are built to very different densities. Tower A holds 806 units at 18 per floor; Tower B holds 176 units at just four per floor. If low density is what you are after, Tower B is the answer — and it is only 176 homes out of 982, so the pool is small.
There is one more configuration worth knowing about: Tower A Type B units 06 and 07 can be combined into a single 2,456 sq ft home. It requires two separate sale and purchase agreements and two separate loans, so plan the financing before you commit to it.
Layout & Floor Plan
All eight floor plans are on this page, along with the Level 14 facilities plan.
Every type has a hackable wall. That is stated on each plan, and it is the single most useful thing on this specification — it means the layout you buy is not the layout you are stuck with.
The plans share a common logic: a foyer entry, living and dining running to the balcony, a separate dry kitchen and wet kitchen with a yard behind, and the master bedroom with its own bathroom set apart from the secondary rooms. Types D and D1 add a study room off the living area — that is the “+1”. Types E and G step up to four bedrooms and four bathrooms, with Type G also carrying a utility room.
Floor-to-floor height is 9.8 feet. Corridors run 7 feet on the right side and 13 feet on the left in Tower A, and 8 feet in Tower B.
Facilities Across Two Decks
Forty facilities, split between the Level 1 Amenities Deck and the Level 14 Leisure Deck.
Level 1 — luxe lobby, e-hailing waiting lounge, bicycle parking, mail room and parcel room.
Level 14 — infinity pool, wading pool, outdoor jacuzzi, sundeck, outdoor pool shower and water playground; gymnasium, sauna, changing room, jogging track, pickleball court and outdoor fitness station; kids’ indoor theme park, kids’ playground and skateboarding area; KTV room, games room, rhythmic studio, multipurpose hall, party corner, BBQ area, outdoor dining, cafe and co-working lounge; observatory deck, gazebo, chill out corner, gathering point, laundrette, smart kiosk, surau and management office; plus a herbs garden, fragrant garden and harvest garden, EV charging bays and motorcar parking.
The swimming pool runs 3,000 sq ft at 25 m by 11 m — a genuine lap length rather than a decorative pool.
Security runs to nine tiers. Lifts move at around 4 metres per second: Tower A has eleven passenger lifts plus a service lift, Tower B has four plus one. Tower B has its own grand lobby at Level 4.
Parking and Building Systems
- Car parks — two to three bays per unit. Level 2 is motorcycle parking, Levels 3 to 13 are residential car park, and Level 14 holds visitor parking including 26 EV bays. Additional bays cannot be purchased separately.
- Refuse — a chamber on every floor, positioned near Types D and D1 in Tower A and near Type G unit 03A in Tower B. Worth checking against the unit you are considering.
- Water tanks — Levels 24, 25, 44 and 45.
- Seismic design — engineered to MS EN 1998 (Eurocode 8), the recognised seismic design standard, against the site’s expected peak ground acceleration of 0.06g under Malaysia’s seismic zoning map.
The Title: Commercial Under HDA
Pinnacle Bukit Gambier is a serviced apartment on a commercial title held under the Housing Development Act. The land itself is freehold. Commercial title is the standard classification for serviced residences in Malaysia, and it means utility and assessment rates follow commercial schedules rather than residential ones. Factor that into your holding cost.
Location & Connectivity
Bukit Gambir sits between Gelugor and Bukit Jambul on the eastern side of Penang Island, on the slope above the Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway. The Ayer Itam to Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway bypass and the Jalan Bukit Gambir interchange are the two roads that define the address — between them you reach the Penang Bridge, the Second Penang Bridge, Bayan Lepas and George Town without going through the old town roads.
Education is the strongest card here. Universiti Sains Malaysia is close by, along with INTI International College, Chung Hwa Confucian High School, Heng Ee High School, SMJK Phor Tay, SMK Convent Green Lane, SMK Bukit Gambir, SK Bukit Gambir, SK Bukit Gelugor, SMK Hamid Khan, SK Minden Heights, SRJK(C) Keong Hoe and SJK(C) Kwang Hwa.
For retail and leisure, Queensbay Mall, E-Gate and The Light City are all on this side of the island, with the Bukit Jambul hiking trail behind and Penang International Airport and the Bayan Lepas Free Industrial Zone to the south.

Is Pinnacle Bukit Gambier Right For You?
Why Buy at Pinnacle Bukit Gambier
Every layout has a hackable wall. Stated on all eight plans. The layout you buy is not the layout you are stuck with — rare to see it committed to across a whole development.
4.48-acre private green lung and 56% green space. The building footprint is only about 3.5 of the 7.96 acres. On a hillside site that is what keeps the outlook and the air.
Tower B is genuinely low density — four units per floor. Only 176 homes out of 982, with its own grand lobby at Level 4 and five lifts.
A real 25 m lap pool. 3,000 sq ft at 25 m by 11 m, on a Level 14 deck carrying 40 facilities.
Freehold land, and USM on the doorstep. Plus INTI, Chung Hwa Confucian, Heng Ee and a dozen more schools within the immediate area.
Why Pinnacle Bukit Gambier May Not Suit You
Commercial title under HDA. Standard for a serviced apartment, but utility and assessment rates follow commercial schedules. Add it to your holding cost before you compare against a residential-title condo.
Tower A is 18 units per floor. 806 of the 982 homes sit on that plate. Eleven passenger lifts help, but this is not a low-density tower — only Tower B is.
Q1 2030 on a 54-month build. A long wait if you need a home in the next few years.
Refuse chamber on every floor. Positioned near Types D and D1 in Tower A and near Type G unit 03A in Tower B. Check it against the specific unit before you commit.
You cannot buy extra car parks. Two to three bays per unit is what you get, full stop.
