TROPICANA 218 MACALISTER
— The luxurious Neo Designer Suite with unobstructed city view
Tropicana 218 Macalister on the renowned Macalister Road
marks something special for Tropicana Corporation Berhad.
Combining contemporary lifestyle living with a central location
just minutes from the Komtar building and some of
Georgetown’s most recognisable heritage sites, Tropicana
218 Macalister has an estimated gross development value of
RM300 million.
Split into four components, the two-block, 33-storey development
will offer 208 hotel rooms under an international
brand name hotel, 211 luxurious Neo Designer Suites, 88 serviced
residences and 20 retail spaces. Residents will enjoy the
benefits of a neighbourhood mall concept afforded by the retail
units as well as the development’s modern features, amenities
and services such as an aqua gym, garden, rock climbing
facilities and a barbecue pit.
The development’s signature Neo Designer Suites will spread
across Tower A and Tower B, ranging in built-up area from
378 – 1,312 square feet, while the serviced residences (683 –
1,299 square feet built up) are set to occupy Tower B. The
hotel will be located in Tower A, which also houses the development’s
impressive sky top lounge overlooking the sea.
Tropicana 218 Macalister, which is primed for completion in
2017, aims to leverage on Penang’s status as the eighth most
liveable city in the world in 2012 as well as the island’s strong
position as a major destination for foreigners under the
MM2H scheme. Additionally, the development will prioritise
security with a 24-hour security infrastructure combining intercom,
three-tiered card access, CCTV and an alarm system.
There will also be dual key optional units (for units above
1,299 square feet) that enhance investment opportunity.
