Facilities
editThe complex includes twin residential towers named City Residence and a three-storey commercial podium known as City Junction, covering 2.42 acres (0.98 ha) of freehold land at Tanjong Tokong. As of 2016[update], it was estimated that the complex would generate about RM313 million in gross development value.[5]
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). Various recreational and communal amenities are available at the top of the podium, such as a swimming pool, barbecue pit, gymnasium, sauna and playground.[3][4]
Retail outlets
editThe 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.[6]
In 2022, Village Grocer, a Malaysian premium grocery chain, opened its first Penang store at City Junction, becoming the mall's anchor tenant.[7][8] 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.[9][10][11]
