Jesselton Courtyard redefines upscale landed living in the heart of Penang

George Town has long been a coveted address. As the capital of Penang, it pulses with urban energy, yet is dressed with heritage, rooted in rich culture and draped with pristine greenery and undulating terrain.

Located within this thriving city, tucked at the base of Penang Hill, an oasis of restoration is being crafted. Blending seamlessly into the 130-million-year-old rainforest, which was recently designated as a Unesco Biosphere Reserve, a courtyard-themed development inspired by George Town’s heritage houses is taking shape.

Named Jesselton Courtyard, the exclusive project built by the well-known Berjaya Land Development is a low-density luxury residential development. Sited in Jesselton Selatan at Pulau Tikus, it is among the newest home projects in this sought-after affluent neighbourhood characterised by large and lavish homes, such as Kensington Gardens. 

Featuring biophilic designs, these homes take full advantage of its serene surroundings by drawing in its sunlight and refreshing air.

Ample space, exclusive privacy

Sitting on 11.9 acres of freehold land, Jesselton Courtyard offers 239 residential units catering to different needs and lifestyles.

First up is the 4-storey zero-lot bungalows dubbed Courtyard Homes. With built-ups of 6,649–9,053 sq ft and land sizes up to 6,082 sq ft, units come with six bedrooms, seven bathrooms, two powder rooms, a housekeeper's room and porches that can park up to six or seven cars.

The ample space provides for gatherings of family and friends in style and comfort, as well as individual pods for every member in a multigenerational household. Priced from RM6.47 million, only a limited 32 units are available.

Meanwhile, smaller households looking to enjoy the same opulence can opt for the Courtyard Villas. Comprising only 207 units, they come in 1.5 and 2 storeys, with built-ups ranging from 2,734 sq ft to 5,167 sq ft. Configuration choices range from four to six bedrooms, and five to six bathrooms. All units come with one powder room, a housekeeper's room and an EV charging-ready porch that can fit up to four cars.

Priced from RM2.87 million, the spaciousness inside and outside all the units accord the residents a premium living experience.

As a gated-and-guarded development, both Courtyard Homes and Courtyard Villas are protected by the utmost security level surrounded by an elite community.

In line with Berjaya Land’s commitment to sustainability, Jesselton Courtyard homes are constructed with passive design strategies including energy-efficient fittings, solar glass to reduce heat from the exterior and light-coloured insulated roofing for heat reduction within the units. Three-tier driveways further augment the long-term value of these upscale homes.

Full-fledged resort facilities

Designed as a private retreat, the strata development comes with a host of facilities that let residents of every age enjoy a getaway without leaving their homes.
