Triuni Residences

Triuni Residences is a completed freehold condominium of three towers inside The Sanctuary, a gated hillside enclave at Batu Uban between the two Penang bridges. Runnymede, through B.U. Developments, built 552 homes across Towers A, B and C, and all three now hold their CCC.

Typical layouts run from an 840 sq ft three-bedroom in Tower B to a 1,949 sq ft dual-key four-bedroom in Tower C, with a handful of duplex penthouses and roof terraces at the top of Towers A and C.

One Address, Three Different Towers

The three towers were launched separately and each has its own character. Towers A and C are the larger-unit blocks, eight homes to a floor, built around the same four plans (A to D) in slightly different sizes. Tower B, at ten homes a floor, has its own set of compact plans from 840 to 1,302 sq ft and a sky garden on Level 20.

The convertible plan is what sets Triuni apart. In Tower A each typical plan can be bought as one home or as a dual-key unit: a self-contained studio of 272 to 365 sq ft with its own pantry and bathroom, next to the main apartment. Tower C sells its Type D in that dual-key form. For a household with a grown-up child, a live-in parent or a practice that needs its own door, that is a real difference from a standard layout.

The setting is the other reason to look. The Sanctuary is a 27.8-acre gated and guarded estate on the hill above Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah. Triuni’s own site is 5.36 acres, and about three of those acres form the landscaped facilities podium designed by the Australian practice Plan E. The site plan marks sea views towards both Penang bridges on one side and a hill view on the other.

Because the towers were finished at different times, their defect periods differ: Tower A’s has ended, Tower B’s ran to 31 March 2026 and Tower C’s runs to 31 March 2027. Which tower a unit sits in therefore changes the protection a buyer gets.

Unit Types

Towers A and C share the A to D plans, with Tower C’s versions 16 to 33 sq ft bigger, so the table gives both sizes and the drawings are Tower C’s sheets. Tower A’s own sheets count Type C as 4+1 and Type D as having five bathrooms, because they treat the study as a fourth bedroom and include the maid’s bathroom. A1, B1, F1 and H1 repeat their parent plans in other positions on the floor. A few duplex penthouses with roof terraces sit on the top floors of Towers A and C and are sold unit by unit: B4, B5 and C3 in Tower A at 2,594 and 3,293 sq ft including terraces, and B2, B3, C2 and D2 in Tower C at 3,556 to 4,875 sq ft.

Location & Connectivity

Triuni’s address is The Sanctuary, a hillside estate in Batu Uban reached from Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah, on the part of the island between the Penang Bridge and the Second Penang Bridge. By the developer’s distances, Universiti Sains Malaysia is about 2.4 km away and Queensbay Mall about 2.8 km.

The brochure also marks three proposed LRT stations nearby, at Batu Uban, Pesta and USM. They remain proposals in the state transport plan, so for now the Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway and Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah are the routes north to George Town and south to Bayan Lepas.
