Property developer Eastern & Oriental Bhd (E&O) has announced that all units at The Meg, its maiden project on Andaman Island launched in 2021, have been taken up.
On the heels of this success, E&O is set to launch Arica – a 380-unit freehold development nestled in the heart of the Gurney Green district.
“We are truly encouraged by the support we received for The Meg despite the uncertainties surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic at that time, which we humbly attribute to our track record in Seri Tanjung Pinang over the last 20 years,” said E&O Group projects and property investments director Emily Teh.
“We are excited to build a pioneering and dynamic community here on Andaman.
“It is E&O’s ethos to elevate life at every address, and we invite all to come to make the most of it,” she added.
Arica is conceptualised as a serene, well-rounded sanctuary to appeal to young couples, small families and empty nesters.
A low-density dwelling with a gross development value of RM400mil, Arica’s fitted and furnished units range from 947sq ft to 1,259sq ft, with two- and three- bedroom units.
Designed to meet Green Building Certification standards, Arica prioritises active and communal living with personal and professional spaces carefully crafted in the common areas.
“Arica is not only strategically located within the exciting commercial precinct of Gurney Green, it is sited right next door to The Meg.
“With aesthetically aligned architectural language between The Meg and Arica, the two developments complement each other in more ways than one, the most meaningful being the retail conveniences of Temu at The Meg being able to serve the needs of Arica residents as well,” said Teh.
Andaman’s master plan embraces green living and community building at the heart of its design with more than 36.4ha of green spaces devoted to parks, playgrounds and public realms.
Wide seafront promenades for pedestrians and cyclists will encourage island-wide accessibility, including across the two bridges linking Andaman to Gurney Wharf and Seri Tanjung Pinang.
“Having been awarded the provisional GreenRE Platinum Certification and with Penang’s position as a prominent urban location in Malaysia, we are confident that Andaman’s vision of a 15-minute city will continue to attract a sophisticated community looking for exciting urban island living,” Teh added.
Arica is scheduled to be completed in 2027. For an appointment to view show units, call 013-408 8999.
