A WATERFRONT HOME TO KEEP
A home for life in Penang,
with the sea close by.
Lightwater Residences is a freehold waterfront residential project in The Light City, Gelugor. Its two towers contain 262 homes, with approximately five homes on a standard residential floor and a Private Lift Lobby for every home.
Its appeal is in coming home each day: sea views, privacy, comfortable interiors, and shopping, dining and waterfront spaces within the same integrated development. For a budget above RM2m, a long-term home or a second residence, these are details worth exploring.

YOUR OWN RHYTHM
Come home
to your own rhythm.
After a busy day, coming home often means wanting somewhere quieter and more comfortable.
From the living room, the sea and bridge become part of the outlook. Living and dining areas make room for time together, while bedrooms and a study accommodate everyone's own routines.
Whether you live here long term, gather with family in Penang or stay for a few months each year, home can have a more relaxed sense of space.
