AS the fully integrated mixed development in the Ayer Itam, Penang, Sunshine Central is heralding a new dawn of lifestyle experiences in Penang and is slated to complete by Q12023.
The development is a maiden real estate project by Suiwah Corporation Bhd, a retail group best known for its Sunshine chain of supermarkets and departmental stores.
Spanning some 3.64217ha, Sunshine Central features a retail mall, office tower, wellness centre, academic institution, hotel, and a luxury serviced apartment.
Touted to be Penang’s pulsating heart, the development serves a growing population of over 430,000 in the mature neighbourhoods of Ayer Itam and Paya Terubong situated within the island’s central valleys.
One of the components of Sunshine Central is the nine-storey podium of Sunshine Mall which is set to be one of the largest, one-stop “lifestyle shopping malls” in the state.
Patrons can expect an 11-screen GSC cinema, over 412 retail lots and eateries, plus a 142,000sqft Sunshine Hypermarket as anchor tenant.
Sunshine Central will also host attraction and entertainment venues with popular tourist destinations like the Kek Lok Si Temple and Penang Hill are close by.
Besides that, Sunshine Central comprises three towers sitting on top of the mall – the 30-level Sunshine Residence, an 18-level office block, and an 18-level hotel with 320 rooms that will cater to business, leisure, medical, wedding and MICE travellers.
The office tower will be equipped with an IoT 5G data centre and crowned with a private helipad. It is also designed with unique and flexible layouts plus a state-of-the-art infrastructure that will appeal to a wide range of tenants from high-tech IT firms to outsourced service desks. This is expected to create thousands of jobs for the local community.
Located below the office and hotel is a banquet hall that can host concerts, exhibitions, events, conferences and seminars, and a wellness centre featuring consultation clinics, specialist centres, laboratories and other medical providers.
The 30-storey Sunshine Residence with 270-units of optional dual-key concept serviced apartments offers a complete urban living lifestyle with its impressive range of amenities.
What’s more, it is also in close proximity to prestigious schools and colleges, banking institutions, hospitals, famous local food stalls and vibrant market places – bringing convenience to residents.
Thoughtfully designed, it will also have 24-hour security and auxiliary policing, and be run by a professional and efficient management team that ensures a healthy, comfortable and safe environment for all who call it home.
With road networks in Penang drastically expanded and improved by various ongoing infrastructure projects (such as road-widening in the vicinity of the development, the Ayer Itam – LCE Bypass, the Pan Island Link 1 and Pan Island Link 2), Sunshine Central is strategically poised within Penang and will enjoy great accessibility from all directions.
With over 3,500 parking bays from the basement level up to the 8th floor, Sunshine Central is gearing up to be a sanctuary to live, shop, work and play.
