Spanish-inspired scenic spaces
Third phase of Queens Waterfront residences in Penang ready by 2027
LIFE by the sea can be breezily blissful. Just ask those living it up at Penang’s prestigious Queens Waterfront enclave.
With several phases already completed, the visionary master-planned development by Ideal Property Group has created a vibrant, connected and serene community.
Queens Residences Q1 and Q2 now stand as impressive landmarks in Queensbay, Bayan Lepas, on the island’s southeastern coastline, mixing residential dwellings with an array of alfresco lifestyle retail and dining experiences along a landscaped seafront promenade.
Still to come is a marina bay, world-class sports centre and international school. Once all elements are complete, they will form the backdrop of a distinctive island lifestyle that blends luxury with comfort, convenience and beauty.
If you missed out on the earlier residential phases, another opportunity beckons as the third chapter of Queens Waterfront has just been unveiled.
Like its predecessors, Queens Residences Q3 continues the vision of creating a vibrant and harmonious living environment, all seamlessly integrated into the surrounding nautical landscape.
It would similarly offer a blend of residential, commercial and recreational spaces, but notably, incorporate Spanish design elements as part of its unique architectural design.
The 532 residential units come in sizes of 950sq ft, 1,000sq ft, 1,280sq ft and 1,400sq ft to cater to a wide spectrum of buyers, from aspiring singles, to couples, young families, established professionals, retirees and even investors.
Indicative prices range between RM900,000 and Rm2mil. When complete in 2027, Q3’s inhabitants will enjoy the best of both worlds, as Penang offers a laid-back lifestyle much like that seen in the coastal regions of Spain, but with all the modern conveniences of a cosmopolitan city.
This makes each day a story of captivating sceneries, inspirational moments, surprising discoveries and a joyful celebration of life.
A Spanish serenade
Differentiating itself from other residential developments, Q3’s exterior and interior design draws inspiration from Spain’s art, culture and traditions.
Everything from the architecture to choice of finishings across common areas are meant to be visually striking, further enlivening what is already a vibrant seafront haven.
A captivating facade –The exterior will be a testament to opulence thanks to its pristine white hue complemented by a meticulously crafted, curvy feature wall that is reminiscent of renowned Catalan modernist architect and designer Antoni Gaudi’s iconic creations. This is a nod to Spain’s rich tapestry of art and culture, creating a luxurious backdrop that you would feel proud to call home.
Artful pavilions – Each pavilion within Q3 will be a living masterpiece that further brings the aforementioned artistry to life. From the BBQ Garden Pavilion to the enticing Pool Bar Pavilion, these will be canvases that honour the Mediterranean nation’s artistic expression, inviting residents to revel in the majestic beauty of form and function.
Vibrant community spaces Embrace the time-honoured Spanish tradition of communal joy with carefully curated, gathering spaces. The outdoor sand oasis play area, co-working lounge and residents’ lounge all echo the ethos of sharing happiness. Carefully chosen materials and colours further reflect the warmth and vibrancy of the European country.
The crafty design choices extend to common areas. Thoughtful selections of materials and decorative items ignite vivid palettes of colours and textures to transform normally ordinary spaces.
This includes intricate mosaic tiles, expertly curated to weave intricate patterns and forms. Each step one takes could evoke a stroll through the historic streets of Madrid or Barcelona.
Intricately crafted furniture and curated artworks further embellish this cultural heritage, while vibrant colour schemes bring its vitality, warmth and dynamism to every corner.
Q3 will be the epitome of Spanish-inspired luxury living where architecture, art and lifestyle all converge to create a captivating haven overlooking the sea.
Fancy facilities
Besides its unique design, Q3 will also feature a collection of exclusive and thoughtfully designed spaces that encapsulate the very spirit of Spanish passion and creativity.
These are unlike anything seen in other residential developments and reflect that nation’s deep-rooted appreciation for craftsmanship, music, dance and freedom of the open road.
DIY workshop – Embrace the joy of creation at this tailor-made space dedicated to the art of handiwork. Residents will get to unleash their artistic flair in crafting unique pieces of all kinds, which can also be immensely fulfilling and therapeutic.
Primavera Sound Studio Immerse yourself in the world of music. Drawing inspiration from Spain’s deep musical roots, this studio is designed for residents to compose, record and appreciate the transformative power of sound. Echoes of joyous melodies will resonate all around.
Flamenco Dance Studio – Feel the rhythm and grace of the age-old Andalusian dance form in this special space. Expect lively moments where expression, movement and tradition converge.
Bike station – The scenic beauty surrounding Q3 can be experienced with pedal power. Reflecting the Spanish love for outdoor activities and exploration, this station provides residents with a convenient starting point from which they can embark on cycling adventures along the island’s southeastern coast and beyond.
Scenic homes
Q3’s prime location fronting the Penang Channel which connects to the Andaman Sea to the north and Straits of Malacca to the south, ensures stunning views every single day.
The panoramic vistas include both the first and second Penang bridges, often accompanied by vibrant sunrises. Such serene seascapes not only provide rejuvenating visual interest and enhance the living experience, but also add significant value to the property.
As such, living in or owning property along this part of Penang Island is a mark of luxury and sophistication – something that discerning buyers and tenants alike would appreciate.
Some units at Q3 offer a dual key concept which may prove attractive and beneficial to both investors and occupants alike.
It provides flexibility in living arrangements. Dual key properties are essentially two separate living spaces within a single unit, each with its own entrance. This setup allows for various living arrangements such as accommodating extended family members, hosting friends or guests, or renting out one part while occupying the other.
The latter is perhaps the most significant benefit, as it gives owners the potential to generate additional income. They can rent out one of the units while residing in the other.
This rental income can help offset mortgage payments or maintenance costs. It can even allow one to generate a profit and enhance the property’s overall financial performance.
Additionally, dual key properties offer enhanced privacy compared to traditional setups like shared apartments or condominiums. Each unit has its own private space, entrance and amenities, providing occupants with a sense of autonomy and privacy within the same property.
Such a concept offers great
value appreciation, as it appeals to a broader range of potential buyers or renters, including families, professionals and investors, thereby increasing demand.
This increased demand in turn contributes to higher resale values and rental yields over time, which is why the dual key concept has become increasingly popular in recent times.
Excellent investment opportunity
Regardless of the type of unit chosen, Q3’s seafront location automatically gives it a unique selling point and premium value.
Experienced buyers and investors would know that rental yields tend to be higher for projects in close proximity to the sea.
Besides the unbeatable views, there is also the allure and prestige of being at such an address.
There is good potential for capital appreciation over time, as seafront properties tend to retain or increase in value. Globally, there is much interest in properties in this category, as rising wealth makes luxury living an increasingly popular and desirable experience for many.
The dual key units in particular make excellent long-term investment assets. Their versatility and income-generating potential can provide stable revenue streams, making them valuable additions to any investment portfolio.
Q3’s proximity to the Bayan Lepas Free Trade Zone, a mere few minutes’ drive away, also enhances its appeal for business travellers and expatriates.
With numerous global multinational firms established here and more coming in every year, there is constant demand for short and long-term rentals for its employees and senior personnel.
For those buying for their own stay, there is also the factor of convenience. There are a plethora of grocery, shopping and F&B options directly downstairs along the Queens Waterfront commercial lots, with more within walking distance at a nearby shopping mall and its surrounding commercial blocks.
There are schools, kindergartens, daycare centres, banks, health and wellness facilities and more. Combined with the promenade, wide pedestrian walkways and nearby infrastructure, it makes the Queensbay area highly walkable, thus allowing for a low-carbon lifestyle for those so inclined.
Besides the Bayan Lepas Free Trade Zone, the Penang International Airport and both Penang bridges are just a short drive away thanks to Q3’s convenient link to the Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway – the island’s major traffic artery.
Queens Waterfront was built on a visionary masterplan and as it takes shape with each successive phase, the notion of seafront living in Penang has truly been redefined.
