'This distinctive development fuses rich cultural tapestry with urban convenience right in the heart of Penang's capital. The Sky Infinity Pool offers panoramic views of the city, including the iconic Komtar (background). 'It is uniquely merged with a heritage landmark and features many thoughtful touches that pay tribute to the city's timeless character as a Unesco World Heritage Site. 'I'm also proud to announce that it has been accorded silver certification by GreenRE for sustainability features and achieved a Qlassic score of 83%, a testament to quality workmanship.' Siew said this during the Appreciation Day where vacant possession of units were handed over to buyers. The event also featured insightful hospitality and property talks by industry experts, networking session and buffet lunch for the several hundred guests. Mana Mana Hospitality – a brand owned by subsidiary Exsim Hospitality Bhd – also received Malaysia Book of Records certification for being the 'Largest Short-Stay Management Company Chain'. Just like at its other properties in Kuala Lumpur, Selangor and Ipoh in Perak, Mana Mana Hospitality will furnish end-to-end management services. This hands-off investment model allows owners to generate passive income while ensuring the property is well-maintained. 'It ensures that purchasers' assets are protected. 'We expect to welcome our first guests next month,' said Siew. Since its inception in 2008, Exsim has unveiled 56 developments in the Klang Valley, Penang, Perak, Johor, Kelantan, Terengganu, Pahang and Sabah. Of the 56 projects, 16 incorporate hospitality elements. 'We will expand this specific segment with new project launches in prime locations, aimed at investors seeking short-term rental income opportunities,' Siew said. 'By offering affordable entry points, we aim to make hospitality investment more accessible to a broader audience,' she added. Looking ahead, the group will further strengthen its presence in Penang with Noordinz Suites @ George Town which similarly blends historical charm with modern design. There is also The Lighthauz, a waterfront-inspired architectural landmark near Penang Bridge.
