Crown Penang

Crown Penang is a freehold serviced apartment tower on Jalan Seri Tanjung Pinang in Tanjung Tokong, on the north-east coast of Penang island. One block of 40 storeys holds 588 homes on a 2-acre site, with the residential floors starting at Level 8 and running to Level 37. Layouts span 614 to 1,851 sq ft — studios, 1+1 bedroom, 2 bedroom and 3 bedroom — and a handful come with private gardens. The developer is Chin Hin Property and completion is targeted for Q4 2029.

Quick answer: Crown Penang is a Freehold High Rise Condominium development by Chin Hin Property in Tanjung Tokong, Penang. It offers 588 units with studio to 3 bedroom layouts, from 614 to 1,851 sq ft, with completion targeted for Q4 2029.

Sky Facilities on Three Separate Levels

Most towers stack their facilities onto one podium deck. Crown Penang splits them across Level 8, Level 38 and Level 40 — one at the base of the residential floors and two above the top apartment.

That layout does two useful things. The Level 8 garden retreat sits directly outside the lowest homes, so the terrace gardens and lawns read as an extension of those units rather than a shared deck several floors away. And putting the pool and lounges on 38 and 40 — above every apartment in the building — means the sea view from them is uninterrupted by the tower itself.

The facilities list runs to the parcel and mail room, landscape areas, lounge, swimming pool, wading pool, pool deck, sky lounge, games room, gymnasium and sky park. Two numbers worth knowing: the pool is a 32 m lap pool at 1.2 m depth, and the co-working lounge is approximately 3,200 sq ft. The gym runs about 1,300 sq ft.

Unit Types at Crown Penang

Twelve configurations across 588 homes. The bulk of the building is Type A studios and Type B 1+1 bedroom units; the larger 2 and 3 bedroom layouts are a small minority.

Read that unit-count column before anything else. Type B alone is 330 of the 588 homes, and Type A adds another 132. Between them they are 79% of the building. If your requirement is a 3-bedroom, there are twelve of them in the entire tower; the 1,851 sq ft Type C (PG-L) and the accessible Type C (L-OKU) are one unit each.

The “PG” suffix means private garden. Those units sit on Level 8, alongside the garden retreat deck — 54 homes in total across the five PG variants.

Layout & Floor Plan

All twelve floor plans are on this page, along with the facilities plan for the 38th and 40th floors.

Levels 8 to 25 hold 20 units per floor and Levels 26 to 37 hold 19. The plate is an L-shape, with Type A studios along the short leg, Type B along the long leg, and the 2 and 3 bedroom units at the two ends.

Clear ceiling height is 2.8 m to 3.1 m in the living areas and bedrooms, and 2.35 m in bathrooms — taller than the 2.6 m that is common at this size. The main entrance door is about 2.4 m. Corridor width is roughly 1.6 m at units 1 to 7 and 1.8 m at units 8 to 20.

Walls cannot be hacked. The developer states this explicitly — the structure uses reinforced concrete and masonry walls throughout, and no hackable wall is provided in any unit. Buy the layout you want; you will not be reconfiguring it later.

Flooring is SPC in Type A and 600 mm x 600 mm tiles in Types B, C, C1 and D.

Orientation and Views

The tower is oriented on two faces: north-west toward Santorini and Pearl Hill, and south-east toward the sea. Which face your unit sits on determines whether you get the water or the hill, and it is worth confirming against the floor plate before choosing a unit number rather than assuming a sea view comes with the address.

Parking, Lifts and Building Systems

• Car park — approximately 700 bays across seven floors, Level 1 to Level 7M, including about 12 OKU bays and motorcycle parking. Bays are single (not tandem), allocated per unit as accessory parcels, and cannot be bought separately after vacant possession under the strata management rules. Six visitor bays, no overnight visitor parking.
• Lifts — four passenger lifts plus one BOMBA lift per floor. There is no private lift lobby.
• Access control — residents use card access, limited to their own unit floor, the car park level, the facilities floors and the ground lobby. Visitors are issued QR access. That is four tiers of separation.
• Utilities — single phase 60 amp TNB meter, PBA water meter, fibre wall socket and SMATV point in every unit, intercom, and inverter air-conditioning.
• Tanks — wet riser at Levels 1 and 8; domestic water tank and pump room at Levels 1 and 39.
• Refuse — a chamber on every floor.
• EV and car wash — EV charging spaces and car washing bays are provided.
• Green building — the development will be submitted for green certification.

The Title: Commercial Under HDA

Crown Penang is a serviced apartment on commercial title held under the Housing Development Act. The land itself is freehold. Two consequences worth planning around.

First, the title cannot be converted to residential — that is stated directly by the developer, not left ambiguous. Second, utility and assessment rates follow commercial schedules by default; owners can apply to TNB for a tariff change after vacant possession, but approval is TNB’s to give, not a certainty. Budget on the commercial rate and treat any change as a bonus.

Tanjung Tokong sits between Gurney Drive and Batu Ferringhi on the island’s north-east shoulder, and Seri Tanjung Pinang is the reclaimed waterfront district within it. Main access is the Penang Outer Ring Road, with the North-South Highway connecting onward to the mainland.
