Setia V Residences @ Gurney Drive

Penang is often called the Pearl of the Orient for good reason. Situated just off the west coast of Malaysia, the island not only boasts some of the country most scenic views but is also unique in the way it has blended heritage and progress.S P Setia recognises that Penang has become a draw card for homeowners looking to relocate, or acquire a second home under the government Malaysia My Second Home initiative. The developer has consequently launched a new high-rise project that redefines urban luxury.Setia V Residences, a new residential development in Gurney Drive, raises the benchmark for high-end living. The project is not being built at the expense of Penang heritage, however. Two heritage houses on the site are being incorporated into the design.Lush landscaping over the 0.9ha site complements the contemporary architecture. But S P Setia says it is the six-star waterfront location that ensures the location is in a class of its own. All residences will have panoramic views of the Indian Ocean or city views. In addition, the development is close to schools, medical centres, Gurney Plaza, the Botanical Gardens and two of the island famed Buddhist temples.Luxury is also defined by space. Residences range in size from 128m2 to duplex penthouses of 661m2. Units are fitted and finished to a high standard of specification, and interiors flow seamless to the outdoors. There is a large balcony with a dip pool for residences in Tower A.For peace of mind, Setia V Residences have a comprehensive 24-hour security system. The infrastructure includes an intercom, card access at the lift lobby and lift, CCTV and an alarm system. Not surprisingly, there is an extensive range of facilities spread over 11 levels, to cater to the most discerning lifestyle.These include a sky deck with a 41m infinity pool and barbecue area, a dedicated children floor with an indoor playroom, outdoor playroom and wading pool, a sky lounge, gymnasium, sky garden, glass-walled badminton court, games room, dance studio, community seminar and reading room, sauna and steam room.
