Against the backdrop of crystalline waters and clear skies, something special is unfolding in Penang Island. Brought to life by Eastern & Oriental (E&O) Berhad, the country’s leading lifestyle developer, Andaman Island is the exquisite dream between urban and island.
In Penang, E&O has become a beacon of hospitality and premier lifestyle living as the masterminds behind the iconic E&O Hotel and the much-coveted landed residentials of Seri Tanjung Pinang. Now, the lifestyle developer has opened an exciting new chapter, continuing its legacy of creating timeless living experiences.
Introducing Andaman Island: a 760-acre eco-conscious island township which promises a future-ready urban design that balances community, accessibility, and quality of life. This project is currently in Phase 1, which spans 253 acres and consists of three key districts of Shoreline, Gurney Green, and Canalside; whilst Phase 2 is set to complete the reclamation of the remaining 507 acres by December 2028.
Conceptualised and designed for discerning homeowners who desire a curated living address whilst still being close to the vibrancy of Penang’s dynamic pace, discover how Andaman offers the best of both worlds ahead.
THE FOUR PILLARS OF ANDAMAN
As a reclaimed island township, Andaman is designed to be easily accessible from the main island for both homeowners and visitors. It is linked by two strategically located bridges, which offer connectivity to Penang’s most notable locations: Andaman Bridge, which is now open, and Gurney Bridge near Gurney Drive, which will open sometime in 2025.
The former connects Andaman to Seri Tanjung Pinang, providing easy access to the residential enclaves of Tanjung Tokong and the beaches of the famed Batu Ferringhi. Meanwhile, Gurney Bridge leads directly to the new Gurney Bay, a reformed public park at George Town’s famous Gurney Drive as well as the gastronomical paradise of Pulau Tikus, and various commercial, manufacturing, and tech business districts.
This promise of accessibility is also reflected in Andaman’s meticulously planned infrastructure which embodies the 15-minute city philosophy. By promoting non-carbon emitting commutes on its 2 to 4-kilometre network of pathways, this fully integrated walkable township offers city conveniences to dining, shopping, wellness, and recreational spaces within just 15 minutes, minimising the environmental impact of the community in Andaman.
Andaman is also committed to its mission of sustainability. The township’s masterplan prioritises energy efficiency and renewable energy, setting new standards for premium eco-living in Malaysia. This includes significant reductions in energy and water usage, biodiversity conservation, and the use of sustainable materials such as green cement and low-VOC paints.
Further, Andaman is a harmonious oasis with over 35 acres of landscaped green space, consisting of 200,000 plants, green buffer zones, and indigenous flora. As a result, the entire island masterplan has received Platinum GreenRE Certification.
Moreover, Andaman is an island that thrives on community. With ample social and communal spaces around the township, residents will be able to foster social connections in an inclusive and dynamic atmosphere. Here, life, work, play, and sail all wonderfully coalesce. At the same time, residents can also expect blissful respite as Andaman’s timeless and elegant homes offer the tranquillity of an island retreat.
THE MOST LIVEABLE CURATED ISLAND IN PENANG
As what is to be one of E&O’s most iconic addresses, Andaman Island has earned its reputation as the most livable curated island in Penang due to its thoughtfully designed districts that are interconnected. Consisting of Gurney Green, Shoreline, and Canalside, each distinct district offers unique and varied lifestyle experiences to meet the needs of residents and visitors.
Step into Shoreline, a premium family-oriented residential area distinguished by its waterfront homes and nature-integrated living. Inspired by the design principles of colonial homes, residences feature high ceilings, large windows, courtyards bathed in natural sunlight, and extensive landscapes.
The inclusion of ample attic space and lifts also make it ideal for multi-generational families. Neighbours and residents can gather at Shoreline’s various recreational spaces such as linear children and pocket parks, communal back gardens, and green corridors to connect and lead a healthy lifestyle.
Over on Gurney Green, expect a lively precinct offering a mix of residential, commercial, business, retail, and entertainment hubs with scenic marina access. Residents and visitors can enjoy a wide range of amenities, from retail establishments and educational institutions to hospitality services and specialised wellness centres. As part of the new commercial hub in Penang, this multifaceted precinct will offer various services and facilities to all segments of society, from cradle to care.
At Canalside, this vibrant public space featuring promenades along the canal comes to life with year-round activities and events to bring the community together. As a dynamic district within Andaman’s development, Canalside is poised to become another key commercial hub in Penang, drawing both visitors and residents alike.
ANDAMAN’S LATEST RESIDENTIAL OFFERINGS
Building on the success of E&O’s previous launches such as its high-rise developments, The Meg and Arica, and the initial phases of landed properties of Fera and Senna (all of which are fully sold out), discerning homeowners can look to Andaman’s latest residential offerings: The Lume and Maris.
Launched in August 2024, The Lume has quickly become another sought-after property on the island township as it garnered significant attention and interest for its elegant design and premium facilities. With its “pavilion in the sky” design, the high-rise development offers breathtaking 180-degree views of the island.
Units here range from 1,722 square feet to 2,874 square feet. Each floor only features six apartments, making The Lume ideal for homeowners seeking peace, privacy, and serenity—the epitome of quiet luxury.
Maris is Andaman’s most recent launch unveiled in January this year. The development is characterised by its vibrant lifestyle that redefines waterfront living with its promenade and alfresco concept. Located in the vibrant Gurney Green district, Maris is the first marina-inspired development in Andaman. It features practical two-bedroom layouts at 979 square feet and spacious three-bedroom units at 1,356 square feet.
