City Residence is a mixed-use complex within George Town in the Malaysian state of Penang. Located at the suburb of Tanjong Tokong, the development consists of twin residential towers and a three-storey shopping mall named City Junction that forms the podium. Built by local developer Ivory Properties Group, each tower is designed as a low-density residence comprising only 101 units spread across 39 storeys, integrated with recreational and communal amenities.[3][4]

Facilities

The twin towers have a total of 202 residential units, ranging from 460 sq ft (43 m2) sf for the smallest unit to the largest penthouse unit measuring 5,600 sq ft (520 m2).[3][4] A variety of recreational and communal amenities are available at the top of the podium, such as a swimming pool, barbecue pit, gymnasium, sauna and playground.

Retail outlets

The three-storey commercial segment, City Junction, consists of 23 units ranging from 3,750 sq ft (348 m2) to 14,200 sq ft (1,320 m2). The interior features a tropical-style interior design that combines plants and water features, while allowing natural light and ventilation.[5]

In 2022, Village Grocer, a Malaysian premium grocery chain, opened its first Penang store at City Junction, becoming the mall's anchor tenant.[6][7] Since then, the 217,000 sq ft (20,200 m2) retail centre has attracted a range of lifestyle, and food and beverage (F&B) tenants, including CU Mart, Guardian, MR.DIY and Taco Bell.[8][9][10]

Location

City Residence is situated opposite the Island 88 shopping mall, just off Jalan Tanjong Tokong, the main thoroughfare running through Tanjong Tokong.[4] A RM2 million pedestrian bridge that connects both malls was completed in 2023.[11]
