Quick answer: The Pier is a Freehold High Rise Condominium development by Asia Green in Gelugor, Penang. It offers 934 units with 2+Studio to 4 bedroom layouts, from 1,044 to 1,227 sq ft, with completion targeted for Q1 2028.

Three Layouts, and Only One of Them Is Common

The unit mix here is unusually lopsided, and that is the first thing to understand before you shortlist.

Type A and Type A1 share the same 1,044 sq ft envelope and together account for the overwhelming majority of the building. Type B, the 4-bedroom, is only 72 units out of 934 — every one of them a corner unit with a full sea view. If a 4-bedroom corner is what you want, you are competing for under 8% of the development.

Layout & Floor Plan

Type A — 1,044 sq ft, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms. The standard family plan and the most common unit here. Living and dining run along one side with the balcony off the living area; master bedroom with ensuite, two further bedrooms sharing the second bathroom, and a kitchen with a separate A/C ledge. Straightforward, and the one most people will end up looking at.

Type A1 — 1,044 sq ft, 2 bedrooms plus studio, 2 bathrooms, dual key. Same floor area as Type A, split into two lockable homes under one title. The main side has the living, dining, kitchen, master bedroom and a second bedroom with its own bathroom. The studio side has its own entrance, its own living space and its own bathroom.

That is the layout worth understanding properly. One title, two independent front doors — you can live in the main home and let the studio to a tenant, put a parent or an adult child in it without anyone sharing a kitchen, or run it as a home office with clients coming in and out without walking through your living room. Very few 1,044 sq ft plans in Penang do this.

Type B — 1,227 sq ft, 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms. All 72 units are corner positions with full sea view. Master bedroom and three further bedrooms, two bathrooms, a dry yard off the kitchen and a broader living and dining span than the Type A plate. This is the only plan in the development that gives you four bedrooms.

All three floor plans are on this page, along with the typical floor layout plan showing where each type sits in Tower A and Tower B.

Location & Connectivity

Penang World City sits on reclaimed waterfront off Jalan Bayan Mutiara, on the eastern edge of the island between Gelugor and Bayan Lepas. The practical effect is that you are on the sea but still inside the built-up belt — the expressway network out to the Penang Bridge, the Second Bridge and the airport runs past the door.

Queensbay Mall is 3 km away, which is the closest full-size mall. Lotus’s Sungai Dua is 5 km, Sunshine Square and Giant 6 km, Lotus E-Gate 7 km.

For schools, Universiti Sains Malaysia is 4 km, INTI International College 6 km, and Fairview International School Penang and SJK(C) Chong Cheng both 7 km. Medically, Pantai Hospital is 6 km and Lam Wah Ee Hospital 9 km.

Sungai Nibong bus terminal is 4 km for intercity coaches, Penang International Airport is 9 km, and Penang Golf Club and the SPICE convention centre are both 7 km. There is a cluster of hotels within 5 km — Eastin at 2 km, then AC Hotel by Marriott, Alora, Amari SPICE and Olive Tree.
