Where comfort meets elegance: Arica's inviting living room retreat.
EASTERN and Oriental (E&O) Bhd unveils "Arica," its latest lifestyle venture, following the success of "The Meg" on Andaman Island.
Situated strategically within the Gurney Green commercial precinct on the island, this freehold development will comprise 380 units of thoughtfully designed and fully furnished residences.

The sizes vary between 947 sqft and 1,259 sqft, featuring two and three-bedroom layouts thoughtfully designed to cater to contemporary lifestyles.
Yet, what truly captivates is Arica's dedication to embracing eco-conscious living and promoting sustainability.
The multitude of eco-friendly attributes has led to both this property and its neighbouring sister, The Meg, receiving GreenRE Platinum Provisional Certification in the Residential category.
Indeed, Andaman Island itself has obtained the same recognition in the Township category, underscoring E&O's dedication to establishing a thriving green community.
According to the company's development and construction management director Michael Tan, the incorporation of vertical gardens and outdoor spaces within the structure not only elevates its aesthetic appeal but also fosters a feeling of serenity and overall well-being.

"Within Arica's units are high ceilings for optimum natural lighting and ample windows to aid ventilation. This reduces the need for artificial lighting and air conditioning,” shared Tan.
Everything across Andaman Island would also utilise high-efficiency external lighting that requires less energy and reduces the community's carbon footprint.
As the island is pedestrian and cyclist-friendly with wide promenades and full accessibility, one has the flexibility of getting around in other modes of transportation than a car.
"All these will significantly enhance residents' overall living lifestyle," Tan said.
He believes this makes Arica appealing to buyers from various demographics - from young families just starting out to career builders seeking to move up in life, investors after steady returns, as well as downsizers and empty-nesters looking to acquire a more manageable property.
A thoughtfully curated selection of amenities will cater to these target audiences - there will be everything from business lounges to daycare services, rooftop gardens, fitness spaces, barbeque pits, a jacuzzi, lap pool and more.
"Our vision is to create a neighbourhood that offers a superior lifestyle for residents at every stage of their journey.
"There will be over 36.42ha of green lungs on the island, allowing one to enjoy the outdoors with loved ones in parks, playgrounds and pocket gardens with fresh sea breeze and landscaping.
"Connectivity and accessibility are also a feature of the development as there will be two bridges to connect Andaman Island and Penang Island to facilitate daily commutes.
"Moreover, Arica's apartments come fully furnished with essential fittings such as built-in cabinets, appliances and furniture.”
Tan explained: “This turnkey approach makes moving-in simpler. For investors, it means they can quickly tap into rental opportunities and start generating income.”
Those who choose to call Arica home would also enjoy the convenience offered by The Meg's front retail space, Temu.
There would also be commercial amenities from workplaces to education, hospitality, health and wellness, retail, cafes and restaurants in future phases.
"Andaman Island will be a meticulously designed, master-planned island that strikes the perfect harmony between serene island living and all the vibrancy of urban life.
"Guided by a vision for future generations to thrive, we uphold the principles of green living and community building, underscoring our commitment of creating a lifetime of exceptional living experiences," Tan added.
