Unwind in the Astral Lagoon sky pool on Level 56, where panoramic views of the Strait of Malacca and Penang Bridge stretch to the horizon. The salt-water pool at The Lighthauz Penang is gentler on skin and one of the most spectacular amenities in the region.
The Penang Waterfront LRT Station (S15) on the upcoming Mutiara Line is directly adjacent โ putting George Town, Komtar, and the airport within effortless reach without a car. Penang's best-connected waterfront address.
The Lighthauz carries a coveted freehold land title โ a rare privilege at Penang's premier waterfront. Freehold ownership means your asset is yours forever, with no lease expiry concerns, making it ideal for both owner-occupation and long-term investment.
Rising 57 storeys above Gelugor's waterfront, The Lighthauz is destined to become one of Penang Island's most recognisable skyline landmarks. Upper-floor units enjoy unobstructed 400-feet panoramic views of the Penang Bridge and Penang Mainland.
Residents enjoy three tiers of premium facilities: a Level 9 podium with gym, multipurpose hall, and landscape deck; plus a jaw-dropping Level 56โ57 sky zone featuring the Astral Lagoon, Mirage Bay wading pool, BBQ area, Sky Lounge, and Games Room.
Nestled within the Penang Waterfront masterplan โ walking distance to a shopping mall, Seaview Convention Centre, promenade, 4&5-star hotels, and the iconic seafront turtle-art landmark. A mature, high-growth neighbourhood unlike any other on the island.

Additionally, all units come with a generous Partially Furnished Package including free legal fees, air-conditioners, kitchen cabinets, water heater, wardrobe, kitchen hood & hob, fridge, microwave, washer dryer, and digital lockset โ saving buyers tens of thousands in renovation costs.
The maintenance fee is RM 0.46 psf including sinking fund. For a 732 sqft Type A unit, that works out to approximately RM 337 per month. For a 1,001 sqft Type B/C unit, approximately RM 461 per month. EXSIM has committed to subsidising maintenance fees by up to RM 0.08 psf for 2 years in the event of any deficit in the maintenance account โ giving buyers additional financial peace of mind.
The Lighthauz offers strong rental yield potential driven by its waterfront location, adjacency to the upcoming Mutiara LRT Station (S15), proximity to USM, walking distance to E-Gate Mall and Lotus’s, and the broader Penang Waterfront masterplan which will drive sustained demand. Comparable waterfront projects in Penang command short-stay rates of RM 250+ per night at 80%+ occupancy. For rental investment advice tailored to your unit selection, WhatsApp our team.
The Lighthauz is located at Gelugor, George Town, Penang Island โ specifically at PT. 224, Seksyen 8, Bandar George Town, Daerah Timur Laut, Pulau Pinang. The development sits directly on the Penang Waterfront, with the Penang Strait just metres away. It is accessible via Jalan Gelugor and sits within the broader Penang Waterfront integrated masterplan, which includes a shopping mall, Seaview Convention Centre, promenade, hotels, and office towers all within walking distance.
Yes โ the Penang Waterfront LRT Station (Station S15) on the upcoming Mutiara Line is directly adjacent to The Lighthauz development. The Mutiara Line is now in its Public Inspection phase (2026), connecting residents to George Town, Komtar, and Penang International Airport without a car. This is a significant value driver โ very few properties in Penang can claim LRT-adjacent positioning.
The Lighthauz is approximately 15โ20 minutes by car from Penang International Airport, via the Penang Bridge or the coastal road. The upcoming Mutiara LRT will also provide a direct rail link to the airport, making The Lighthauz one of Penang’s best-connected residential addresses for frequent travellers and expatriates.
The Lighthauz offers three levels of curated facilities. Level 9 features a Multipurpose Hall (Badminton, Pickleball, 3×3 Basketball Courts), Coastal Gym, Mindspace co-working area, Readery Deck, Serenity Garden, Herbs Haven, and Kid’s Playground. Levels 56 & 57 host the spectacular Sky Facilities zone: Astral Lagoon (Sky Pool), Mirage Bay Wading Pool, Stargaze Soak Jacuzzi, BBQ Area, Horizon Lounge, and Fun Hub Games Room โ all with panoramic sea and Penang Bridge views.
Yes โ The Lighthauz carries a freehold land title, which is rare for a high-rise waterfront development in Penang. Freehold means there is no lease expiry, the title passes in perpetuity to owners and their heirs, and the property typically commands a premium in resale value over leasehold developments. This is one of the most compelling reasons to consider The Lighthauz as a long-term asset.
The expected completion is 60 months after the APDL (Advertising Permit & Developer’s Licence) is obtained. EXSIM has a strong track record of on-time delivery across its portfolio โ having handed over 12,600+ units โ and has won multiple FIABCI Malaysia awards for construction quality and project management excellence.
The Penang Waterfront precinct is undergoing a landmark transformation: the Mutiara LRT is under construction, a new shopping mall, Seaview Convention Centre, 4&5-star hotels, promenade, and office towers are being built within walking distance. Gelugor’s mature infrastructure โ including Lotus’s, E-Gate Mall, USM campus, and established medical facilities โ provides immediate liveability, while future infrastructure investment is expected to significantly lift property values in the medium-to-long term.
Yes, foreigners are eligible to purchase The Lighthauz. As a Commercial title under the Housing Development Act (HDA), the project qualifies under Malaysia’s MM2H and general foreign property ownership rules. The minimum purchase price for foreigners in Penang is RM 1,000,000, which aligns with the Type B and C units. Foreign buyers should engage a Malaysian solicitor to advise on the Memorandum of Transfer and any applicable RPGT. WhatsApp us for a referral to our legal partners.
Yes โ The Lighthauz is eligible for purchase under Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) for qualifying applicants. MM2H holders may purchase Malaysian properties with reduced restrictions, and the Penang Waterfront address is particularly attractive for international retirees and remote workers who value connectivity, lifestyle amenities, and sea views. Our team can connect you with MM2H specialist agents for a full eligibility assessment. Contact us on WhatsApp to get started.
