Aston Minka Residences
Aston Minka Residences is an affordable-housing development in the centre of Bukit Mertajam, Penang, by Jayamas Property Group. It is a single 18-storey block on 1.3 acres holding only 237 homes, with car park on Level G to 4 and residences from Level 5 to 18.
Nearly every unit is the same plan: 950 sq ft with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, laid out as a dual key. The floor area splits behind one entrance into a main home and a self-contained studio with its own door — the arrangement that lets a family house a parent or an adult child without sharing a front door.
The provisioning is unusually generous for this price band: up to two car park bays per unit (322 bays for 237 homes), three lifts for 17 doors a floor, 2.8 m ceilings, and maintenance estimated at RM0.20 psf — roughly RM209 a month. Facilities run to a lap pool, children’s pool, fitness room, kindergarten, playground, BBQ terrace and a community hall. Completion is targeted for Q4 2027 and the APDL has been obtained.

What the numbers actually say
237 homes on 1.3 acres is about 182 units per acre. That is typical for a high-rise site of this size.
Lift provisioning is the number people notice daily and can never change afterwards: 17 units to a floor, with 3. That works out to roughly 79 homes per passenger lift, which is about the industry norm.
Car parking is Up to 2 bays per unit, side by side. 322 bays in total excluding visitor and OKU parking. In a completed development this is one of the few things you cannot renegotiate afterwards, so check it against how many cars you actually run.
Completion is stated as Q4 2027. Ask to see that date on the statutory panel rather than in the brochure headline, and hold the developer to the panel version.
Unit Types
| Type | Size | Bedrooms | Bathrooms | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | 950 sq ft | 3 | 2 | dual-key; 236 of the 237 units |
| B | 900 sq ft | 3 | 2 | a single unit in the development |
Almost the whole development is one plan — 236 of the 237 units are the 950 sq ft dual-key layout with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, and a single 900 sq ft unit rounds it out. Dual-key means the floor area is split behind one entrance door into a main home and a self-contained studio with its own access, which is what lets a household put a parent or an adult child under the same roof without sharing a front door. The developer describes the layout as suiting multi-generational living. Ceiling height is approximately 2.8 m throughout, dropping to about 2.25 m in the toilet of the upgraded units.

Location & Connectivity
Aston Minka sits in the heart of Bukit Mertajam, the main town of central Seberang Perai on the Penang mainland. This is not a new township on the edge of somewhere — the schools, the wet market, the hospital and the KTM station are all part of the existing town grid, and Jit Sin High School, one of the best known independent schools in the north, is in the same neighbourhood.
The connectivity is the other half of it. Bukit Mertajam has both a KTM Komuter and ETS station and an express bus terminal, with the North-South Expressway close by, so getting to the island, to Butterworth or south towards Ipoh does not depend on one road. Summit BM Plaza, AEON Alma and Tesco Alma cover the retail side, and Hospital Bukit Mertajam and Hospital Seberang Jaya are both in the catchment.

Is Aston Minka Residences Right For You?
Why Buy at Aston Minka Residences
Dual key on a 950 sq ft plan. One entrance opens into a main home and a self-contained studio with its own door. For a household with a parent moving in or an adult child who wants their own space, that is a second front door without a second property — and it is designed in, not renovated on.
Up to two car park bays per unit. 322 bays for 237 homes. In this price band a second bay is usually the first thing cut, and on the mainland where nearly every adult drives, it is the difference between workable and not.
237 units in an 18-storey block, three lifts, 17 doors a floor. Low density for the segment, and three lifts on a plate that size is real provisioning. None of it can be added after construction.
2.8 m ceilings and RM0.20 psf maintenance. About RM209 a month for 950 sq ft. Both numbers are better than the segment norm — the ceiling because it is fixed at construction, the maintenance because it stays with you for the life of the building.
It is in the town, not beside it. Jit Sin High School, the wet market, Hospital Bukit Mertajam, the KTM and ETS station and the express bus terminal are all inside the existing Bukit Mertajam grid, with the North-South Expressway close by. Freehold, with the APDL already obtained.
Why Aston Minka Residences May Not Suit You
This is Rumah Mampu Milik — affordable housing with eligibility rules. That is the single most important thing to settle first. Affordable-housing schemes in Penang carry conditions on household income, on how many properties you already own, and often a moratorium on resale for a set number of years. None of that is negotiable and it is set by the state, not the developer. Get the current eligibility criteria and the resale restriction in writing before you pay anything.
Almost every unit is the same plan. 236 of 237 are the 950 sq ft dual key. There is no choice of layout — what you are choosing is the floor and the facing, so ask which stack and which direction before you commit.
Five levels of car park sit below the first home. Residences start on Level 5. The lower floors look out over podium rather than open sky. Check the outlook from the actual level you are offered.
The developer states it sells upgraded units only, and there is an excess payment on handover. Both come from the project summary. Ask exactly what the upgrade covers, what it costs, and what the VP excess payment will be — those are figures you want before booking, not at handover.
Dual key cuts both ways. The layout that houses two households also means thinner walls between them and a shared strata title. If you are buying purely for yourself, a conventional three-bedroom of the same area would give more usable living space.
