Coastal roots
Pekan Batu Maung, the fishing jetty and the established kampungs remain part of the district—not a footnote to Southbay.

The island’s south-eastern edge—coastal, connected to the mainland and changing. Understand the place first, then the property being built here.

Start with the place
A headland with more than one story.
Batu Maung is not shorthand for a condo cluster. It spans an established fishing-town centre, kampung neighbourhoods, the Southbay development area and the island end of the Penang Second Bridge.
Batu Maung is a coastal district at the south-eastern tip of Penang Island. It sits between the Bayan Lepas industrial corridor, Southbay and the reclamation off its eastern shore.
- Position
- South-eastern tip of Penang Island

Four forces
What defines Batu Maung now.
The useful picture is not “near everything”. It is a specific mix of coast, industry, road infrastructure and long-term change.
02
Industrial corridor
Bayan Lepas shapes commuting patterns and the character of the roads inland. Proximity is both an advantage and a trade-off.
03
Bridge connection
The Penang Second Bridge changed the district’s relationship with Batu Kawan and the mainland when it opened in 2014.
04
Active change
The Mutiara Line and Silicon Island are still lifecycle-sensitive stories—not finished benefits to price in today.
LRT Mutiara Line. 29.5 km, 21 stations, Komtar to Permatang Damar Laut; construction began January 2026; operations targeted December 2031. Proposed — verify current status
Silicon Island. Reclamation under way, about 133.5 ha as at March 2026; Phase One 513.95 ha targeted 2031. As at March 2026; may have changed
