Development at a Glance
Everything below comes from the developer’s own material. These are the figures that are fixed at construction — renovation changes none of them, so they are worth checking before anything else.
- Developer — GSD Land
- Property type — Landed Property
- Tenure — Freehold
- Land title — Residential
- Land area — 63.06 acres (whole township)
- Storeys — 1
- Total units — 413
- Ceiling height — About 13.7 ft in the living area
- Security — Not gated or guarded
- Completion — November 2026
A Single-Storey Township, Not a Single Row
Ara Damai is planned as a whole township rather than a row of houses: 63 acres laid out with a park and lake along one edge, a central roundabout, a playing field, 77 shop offices along the main road and several hundred one-level houses in between.
The two layouts suit different habits. Type A gives the dining area its own space beside the kitchen and groups Bedrooms 2 and 3 along one side towards the back, which works for parents who want the children’s rooms together. Type B/C runs living and dining as one long room down one side, with Bedrooms 1 and 2 on the other, and keeps Bedroom 3 at the rear by the kitchen.
Two practical notes from the developer’s Summary are worth knowing. Internal walls are non-load-bearing, which makes later rearranging simpler, and the kitchen comes with a plaster ceiling. The green side and back areas drawn on the plans, however, are cement on handover; anyone who wants a garden has to break it out themselves.
The estate is not gated or guarded. Tasek Gelugor town centre is about 5 km away by the developer’s figures, Bukit Mertajam 13 km and Butterworth 17 km, with the Butterworth-Kulim Expressway reached along Jalan Ara Kuda.
Unit Types
| Type | Size | Bedrooms | Bathrooms | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | 20′ x 70′ | 3 | 2 | single storey, 20′ x 45′ built-up; bedrooms 2 and 3 grouped along one side towards the rear, separate dining area, 188 units |
| B/C | 20′ x 70′ | 3 | 2 | single storey, 20′ x 45′ built-up; one long living and dining room down one side; Types B (184) and C (41) share this plan, 225 units |
Sizes are the lot. Both layouts are single-storey houses of about 20 by 45 feet on lots of about 20 by 70 feet, with three bedrooms and two bathrooms; the developer lists Types B and C separately but describes them as the same plan. The difference between A and B/C is how the rooms are arranged, not how much space there is.

Is Taman Ara Damai Right For You?
Why Buy at Taman Ara Damai
No stairs, high ceilings. Every house is single storey, with the living area ceiling at about 13.7 feet. It is a house you can grow old in without ever adding a lift or moving a bedroom downstairs.
A planned township around you. The 63-acre master plan sets aside a lake park, a playing field, an outdoor gym, a bicycle track, a multipurpose hall and a surau, with shop offices along the main road.
Walls you can move. The Summary notes that internal walls are non-load-bearing, so merging two rooms or reworking the kitchen later is a renovation job rather than a structural one.
Why Taman Ara Damai May Not Suit You
Not for buyers who want a guardhouse. The township is open, with no gate or guards. Security is down to each household.
The garden is concrete at handover. The green side and rear yards on the plans are cement when you collect the keys. Budget time and money to break it out if you want to plant anything.
A long way from the island. George Town is 37 km and the airport 40 km away. This suits buyers who work on the mainland, not daily commuters to Bayan Lepas.
Our Take
Which home should you choose at Taman Ara Damai?
Taman Ara Damai in Tasek Gelugor, Penang suits most buyers best as a Type B/C: the same 20' x 45' three-bedroom house as Type A, with living and dining as one long room. It is the plan of 225 of the 413 houses, and the show unit is a Type B. Choose Type A for a separate kitchen-dining room.
- Why Type B/C
- The long living-dining room runs down one side to Bedroom 3, which takes the back corner beside Bath 2, apart from Bedrooms 1 and 2. That suits a parent or a helper.
- Pick differently if
- Type A (188 houses) if you want the living room kept apart from the kitchen-dining side, with Bedrooms 2 and 3 grouped together towards the back.
- Check before you book
- The developer's papers list the permit's 413 houses and, separately, a Phase 7 of 157 Type B houses with its own target date. Ask which your lot belongs to, and its completion date.
