BUTTERWORTH’s skyline is set to be transformed with the RM700mil Harbour Place project that will also include a hotel and a college.

Touted as the town’s first Metrocity, the development will see the opening of Swiss Garden Harbour Place next year as well as an educational institution right at the residents’ doorsteps.

Harbour Place is made up of three distinct components, namely The Urban residential zone, The Metro commercial and education zone, and The Retro entertainment and F&B zone.

PJD Group’s senior sales and marketing executive Nicholas Ng said the integration of a ‘live, work, play’ lifestyle had made the project a much sought after address not only among locals but also foreigners.

He said the residential component comprising two luxury condominiums (Phase I and II) — Park View Tower and Sea View Tower — were fully sold out while Ocean View Residences (Phase III) was now open for booking.

“Response to the 386 units in the 30-storey block has been great with about 65% sold to date.

“Targeting the younger market, architectural designs are based on our ‘Chic Urban Living’ concept with the creation of an environment that is both stylish and dynamic,” he said.

PJD Group will promote Ocean View Residences at the Star Property Fair 2010 which will be held at the G Hotel and Gurney Plaza in Penang from July 23 to July 25.

And in conjunction with Harbour Place’s 8th anniversary, purchasers who sign up from now until the fair ends are entitled to a free fully furnished kitchen system and three air-conditioning units worth RM30,000 in total.

With a targeted completion date of mid-2012, the units have three designs with built-up areas of 938 sq ft and 1,100 sq ft. Each unit boasts its own unique features and comes with three bedrooms and two bathrooms as well as a sun deck.
