    TheLume at Andaman infinity pool tanjung tokong condo luxury development Penang
    Featured Development

    TheLume at Andaman: Tanjung Tokong's Crown Jewel (2026)

    TheLume at Andaman is the newest and most premium condominium in Tanjung Tokong, developed by E&O Berhad on the eastern shore of Andaman Island. At 49 storeys, it is the tallest residential tower in the area, designed to maximise sunrise views over the Straits of Malacca from every unit.

    What Makes TheLume Stand Out

    • Freehold ownership: Perpetual title on Andaman Island, one of the few remaining freehold waterfront locations in Penang.
    • Only 261 units: Among the lowest density of any luxury condo in Tanjung Tokong, ensuring privacy, exclusivity, and minimal queuing at shared facilities.
    • 49th-floor sky deck: Infinity pool, sky lounge, and fitness centre at the building's apex — a dramatic amenity that no other Tanjung Tokong development offers.
    • Smart-home integration: Full app-controlled automation for lighting, climate, security, and entertainment. Motorised blinds, integrated speakers, and pre-wired automation points come standard.
    • EV-ready: Dedicated electric vehicle charging bays in the car park, future-proofing the development for Malaysia's EV transition.
    • E&O developer quality: Over 100 years of heritage, award-winning Andaman masterplan, and zero-delay delivery track record for Penang projects.

    Pricing: RM 2.2M – RM 3.9M | RM 1,100 – 1,400 PSF | 1,600 – 3,200 sq ft | Completion 2028

    The Marin at Andaman 38-storey luxury condominium exterior on Andaman Island north shore Penang

    The Marin at Andaman: The Established Premium Choice

    The Marin holds a special place in Tanjung Tokong's property landscape as the development that proved Andaman Island's viability as a luxury residential address. Completed in 2023 by E&O, this 38-storey freehold tower occupies the island's northern shore with 288 units ranging from 1,200 to 2,800 sq ft.

    The Marin's tropical modern design remains elegant and timeless. Open-plan layouts maximise natural light, while generous balconies frame north-facing sea views. The rooftop pool, landscaped gardens, and fully equipped gym provide comfortable communal amenities. Build quality is consistent with E&O's high standards.

    For buyers who value certainty, The Marin's completed status is a significant advantage. You can walk through actual units, assess the finishes, enjoy the views, and move in or begin renting immediately. Sub-sale opportunities may also offer value below developer pricing. At RM 950–1,250 PSF, The Marin offers freehold Andaman Island living at a lower entry point than TheLume.

    Pricing: RM 1.8M – RM 3.5M | RM 950 – 1,250 PSF | 1,200 – 2,800 sq ft | Completed 2023

    Quayside Condos Andaman Island Tanjung Tokong established waterfront community Penang

    Quayside Condos: Andaman's Pioneer Community

    Quayside Condos is the original residential component of E&O's Andaman Island masterplan, developed across multiple phases from 2010 to 2018. Comprising approximately 990 units across several mid-rise blocks (18–24 storeys), Quayside established the waterfront lifestyle that The Marin and TheLume have since elevated.

    As the most mature development on Andaman Island, Quayside offers a well-established community with proven maintenance standards and a track record of value appreciation. Early buyers have seen 40–60% appreciation since launch, demonstrating the power of the Andaman Island brand. Units range from 1,000 to 2,400 sq ft with freehold tenure.

    Quayside's lower price point (RM 650–950 PSF) makes it the most accessible entry to Andaman Island living. However, the older design, lack of smart-home features, and mid-rise building height mean it does not compete directly with TheLume or The Marin on specifications. It remains an excellent option for buyers who prioritise value and established community over cutting-edge amenities.

    Pricing: RM 900K – RM 2.2M | RM 650 – 950 PSF | 1,000 – 2,400 sq ft | Completed 2010–2018

    Maritime Suites serviced apartments near Straits Quay Tanjung Tokong Penang exterior view

    Maritime Suites: The Entry-Level Option

    Maritime Suites occupies a mainland Tanjung Tokong location near Straits Quay, offering a different proposition: leasehold serviced apartments targeting investors and young professionals seeking Tanjung Tokong's location benefits at a lower price point.

    Developed by Tropicana Corporation, this 32-storey tower houses 306 units ranging from compact 600 sq ft studios to 1,500 sq ft three-bedroom apartments. The serviced apartment format includes a rooftop pool, gym, and lobby reception, with maintenance fees that cover more extensive common-area services.

    Maritime Suites' key advantages are affordability (from RM 650K) and rental yield potential (4.0–5.5% gross). The smaller unit sizes and serviced format appeal to expatriate tenants and short-stay corporate guests. However, the 99-year leasehold tenure, smaller unit sizes, and lack of the waterfront premium that Andaman Island commands limit its capital appreciation compared to freehold alternatives.

    Pricing: RM 650K – RM 1.5M | RM 550 – 800 PSF | 600 – 1,500 sq ft | Completed 2016 | Leasehold 99yr

    Tanjung Tokong Penang condo market luxury property price trends 2026

    Price PSF Trends: Where Is Tanjung Tokong Heading?

    Tanjung Tokong's price per square foot trajectory tells a compelling growth story. Here is how the four developments have performed:

    • Quayside Condos (2010–2026): Launched at approximately RM 400–550 PSF. Now trading at RM 650–950 PSF. That represents 50–70% appreciation over 10–16 years, or approximately 4–5% compound annual growth. Quayside's appreciation demonstrates the long-term value of freehold property on Andaman Island.
    • Maritime Suites (2016–2026): Launched at approximately RM 450–600 PSF. Now trading at RM 550–800 PSF. Appreciation of 20–35% over 10 years reflects the leasehold discount and slower capital growth typical of serviced apartments.
    • The Marin (2020–2026): Launched at approximately RM 800–1,050 PSF. Now at RM 950–1,250 PSF. Approximately 18–20% appreciation in three years since completion, accelerating as Andaman Island's profile grows.
    • TheLume (2025 launch): Current launch pricing at RM 1,100–1,400 PSF. Based on E&O's track record, expected to appreciate 15–25% from launch to completion in 2028, with steady-state growth of 5–8% annually thereafter.

    The trend is clear: Tanjung Tokong property values have risen consistently across all segments, with freehold Andaman Island developments significantly outperforming leasehold mainland alternatives. Each new E&O launch has established a higher PSF benchmark, and the market has validated these prices through absorption and appreciation. For investors, the data supports entering at the newest launch pricing (TheLume) to capture the full appreciation cycle.

    Which Tanjung Tokong Condo Is Right for You?

    Here is a quick decision framework based on your priorities:

    For Maximum Investment Growth: TheLume

    New-launch pricing captures the full appreciation curve. Freehold, E&O pedigree, 49 storeys, smart home, and sky-level amenities position TheLume as Tanjung Tokong's flagship for the next decade. Budget: RM 2.2M+.

    For Immediate Move-In Luxury: The Marin

    Completed freehold luxury on Andaman Island. Walk-through units, proven finishes, immediate occupancy or rental income. A perfect choice for buyers who want Andaman living without the wait. Budget: RM 1.8M+.

    For Value-Conscious Andaman Entry: Quayside Condos

    The most affordable entry to freehold Andaman Island living. Established community, proven value appreciation, and access to all island amenities. Best for buyers who prioritise location and tenure over cutting-edge specifications. Budget: RM 900K+.

    For Rental Yield Focus: Maritime Suites

    Compact serviced apartments with strong rental demand from expatriates and corporate tenants. The lowest entry point in Tanjung Tokong's premium segment. Best for pure yield investors who prioritise cash flow over capital growth. Budget: RM 650K+.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Common questions about condominiums in Tanjung Tokong, Penang.

    Tanjung Tokong is emerging as Penang's fastest-growing premium residential area thanks to E&O's Andaman Island masterplan, excellent expressway connectivity (10 minutes to Gurney Drive, 15 minutes to George Town), the Straits Quay commercial waterfront, proximity to international schools, and a concentration of new luxury developments. The area offers the rare combination of waterfront living, modern infrastructure, and urban accessibility that older premium areas like Gurney Drive cannot match due to their built-up density.

    Tanjung Tokong condo prices range widely based on development quality and era. Entry-level condos start around RM 500K–650K for older developments. Mid-range options like Quayside Condos and Maritime Suites range from RM 650K to RM 2.2M. Premium new developments like The Marin (RM 1.8M–3.5M) and TheLume (RM 2.2M–3.9M) represent the top tier. Price per square foot ranges from RM 500 PSF for older stock to RM 1,400 PSF for TheLume's newest units.

    TheLume at Andaman offers the strongest investment potential in Tanjung Tokong for 2026. As a new launch by E&O with freehold tenure, it captures the full appreciation curve from launch to completion (historically 15–25% for E&O Andaman projects). The combination of freehold ownership, 49-storey premium specifications, and Andaman Island's development pipeline makes it the top investment pick. For investors seeking immediate rental income, The Marin (completed) or Maritime Suites (smaller units, higher yield) are alternatives.

    It depends on the development. All E&O developments on Andaman Island (TheLume, The Marin, Quayside Condos) are freehold, which is increasingly rare in Penang. Developments on the mainland side of Tanjung Tokong, such as Maritime Suites and some older condos, are typically leasehold (99 years). Buyers seeking freehold tenure should focus on Andaman Island's E&O developments for the best selection of new luxury freehold units.

    Tanjung Tokong offers several advantages over Gurney Drive: more freehold options (Andaman Island), newer developments with modern specifications, lower density, better traffic conditions, and stronger capital growth potential. Gurney Drive offers established urban convenience, walkable retail, and the prestige of a famous address. Price PSF is generally 20–40% lower in Tanjung Tokong for equivalent quality.
