Y Cantonments - 20 Exclusive 4 Storey Boutique Townhouses for the Deserving Few

This exclusive 20-unit townhouse development concept is the first of its kind in Penang and seeks to break away from the over saturated luxury condo market by marrying the convenience and security of a lock-and-leave home with the luxury of owning a landed property. 

Sited along Cantonment Road in a low-density upmarket neighbourhood, this one of a kind building will showcase Dato' Dr Ken Yeang's signature ultramodern deep green design. This targeted GBI Platinum project features niche and bespoke residential properties ranging between 4,200 sqft and 6,500 sqft units, each with its own private lift and in-house carpark, a master bedroom on 1 full level that opens out into an outdoor plunge pool on the 4th floor, 5+1 bedrooms, each with its own en suite bathroom, Smarthome features and a Roof Garden, all surrounded by lush horizontal and vertical greenery in an exclusive locality. 

This project is expected to launch in August 2012.


Strategic, Blue-Ribbon Location
Located down the road from the Famous Pulau Tikus Markets and a mere 5 minute walk away from Gurney drive, Cantonment Road is a quiet gem of a location in the heart of Penang. Originally home to the Island's most affluent families, the sheer convenience of its location and beauty of its natural setting still make it one of the most sought after addresses in Penang today.




Unique Typology (Exclusive luxury product)
The contemporary design of these cutting edge luxury townhouses blend modern construction technology, high quality materials and innovative architecture with the lush tropical greenery of this quiet, low density neighbourhood. 



Each of these 20 exclusive units designed by renowned Malaysian architect Dato' Dr Ken Yeang comes with its own parcel of land, a private roof garden and a plunge pool on the master bedroom floor.




Sustainable Design (Green Features)
Aligned with Dr Yeang's architectural philosophy of living sustainably and as one with nature, the building contains the following Green Features: 
                               - Building Orientation 
                               - Vertical Planting (Green wall) 

                               - Rainwater Harvesting 

                               - Bio Swale 

                               - Passive Cooling (Cross Ventilation) 

                               - Natural Lighting 

                               - Roof Garden



5+1 Private bedroom sanctuaries
The 5 uniquely designed bedrooms of this Townhouse are completed with 7 spa-inspired private ensuite bathrooms. Bedroom spaces are naturally lit and ventilated and finished with high quality materials. The ground floor rooms of these townhouses open up into a private landscaped garden.



Master Bedroom with Private Plunge Pool
The master bedroom is located over an entire floor and features an exclusive living space complete with a modern bathroom and built in wardrobe. The indoor area opens out onto a deck with an outdoor shower and an infinity plunge pool overlooking the lush green surrounds of Cantonment Road



Private Lift in Every Unit
Each unit comes with the option of either the convenience of an Elevator, or, following the typology of the Penang-style shop house, an internal courtyard that enable natural light and ventilation to permeate the internal spaces.



Dining Space with Modern Kitchen

The outdoor wet kitchen is complemented by a modern dry kitchen with a breakfast counter that connect to an exclusive dining space. Across the hall are the bespoke Lounge and Living spaces designed for conversation and entertainment.





Private Parking Spaces
Every Townhouse comes with 2 private parking spaces located in front of the main entrance door to each unit. 2 additional mechanical car parking lots may be installed at additional cost.
Lock & Leave Secured Homes
The Townhouses are guarded by a 24 Hour security centre that monitor the premises around the clock and operate the main entrance gate. Each unit comes with 2 IP CCTVs in locations which the purchaser may choose, with the option of more which may be installed at additional cost.
