The Jelutong Expressway Project has offered the opportunity for the reclamation of approximately 260 acres of land along prime areas on the foreshore of Jelutong, North-East District of Penang.  Being distinctively located, the masterplan recognizes the significance of the site as the Gateway to Penang as well as its immense potential of addressing the natural attributes of water in creating a truly public waterfront.

The main proposal undertakes to develop the reclaimed land in the form of 3 parcels.  Parcel A is an extension of the immediate foreshore along the Penang Bridge.  Due to its prominence, a vibrant mix of international class facilities such as a convention centre, hotel, shopping cum transit centre and Theme Park are proposed.

Parcel B consisting of a mixture of medium low cost residential units, factories, offices, a wholesale market provides the additional variety of industrial mix.

Parcel C is composed of a number of 5-storey low cost housing units.

The overall development will be in line with MPPP’s vision of propelling Penang into the next millennium as the Central District Development for the 21st century (CDD 21).
