THE developer of Harbour Place, a new township project in Butterworth, has launched the fourth phase of its trendy condominiums known as ‘Wellesley Residences.’ The project undertaken by PJD Eastern Land Sdn Bhd is located on a 12.1ha site in the heart of town. Currently, the township has three existing luxury condominiums and a hypermarket. A total of 401 new units will be built in a 27-storey and 30-storey blocks. The project will have a signature chic urban living concept with nine units per floor in a semi-detached setting.

PJD's Chief Operating Officer Lim Lian Seng is confident of luring investors to their properties here due to their proven track record. The company is a subsidiary of a Kuala Lumpur-based developer, PJ Development Holdings Berhad. The parent company has developed highly integrated development projects in various parts of the country. Lim said the name Wellesley Residences was derived from Seberang Prai’s former name of Province Wellesley.

He added that the units were designed to complement and enhance the requirements of modern urban living. They were designed to re- energise, rejuvenate and revitalise modern living concepts as the residents would enjoy a sky gymnasium, yoga, aerobic, recreational games, sauna and steam rooms, Jacuzzi, massage facilities, a sky lounge and a viewing deck on the rooftop.

Lim said a 26,666sq meter supermarket had been planned nearby to provide the convenience of shopping for residents at their doorsteps. Besides that, an educational institution and a 30-storey Swiss-Garden Hotel and Residences hospitality property, are additional facilities for the folks in Butter-worth. He said the hotel chain owned by the company would start construction at the end of the year.
