What M Amaya costs, when it completes, who is building it, what the package includes, how the building is specified, and what a foreign buyer has to check — answered in one place.
Price & package
What do M Amaya units cost?
Five layouts, five from prices. The 721 sq ft Type A starts from RM489K; the largest layout, the 1,432 sq ft Type D, from RM919K. Every layout, its built-up area and its from price are on the price list, together with what the developer's package includes.

What is in the furnishing package?
Nine items: Kitchen Cabinet (Top & Bottom); Side-by-Side / Domino Hob; Self-Circulate Hood (Non-Ducted); Sink & Tap; Washer & Dryer Combo; Master Bedroom Wardrobe; Bedroom 2 Wardrobe — Type B, C, D & E only; Air Conditioner ×2; Instant Water Heater ×2. The Bedroom 2 wardrobe applies to Types B, C, D and E only — Type A is the one-bedroom-plus-study layout.
Is there a booking fee?
Yes — RM500, stated as refundable in the developer's sales package.
What is the maintenance fee?
RM0.33 psf. That works out at roughly RM238 a month for a Type A and RM473 for a Type D, excluding utilities, quit rent and assessment.
The building
What are the ceiling heights?
Floor height is 3.0 m, with a clear height to soffit of 2,850 mm max.
How many lifts serve each block?
3 passenger + 1 bomba lift, with an estimated waiting time of ~24 s — the developer's estimate, not a measured figure.
What security is provided?
Perimeter fencing with CCTV, a guardhouse with 24-hour monitoring, licence-plate recognition at the boom gate, card access at both the lift lobby and inside the lift car admitting residents to their own floor, and barrier-free access at the facility floor.
Is parking dedicated?
The developer states: 6-storey Dedicated Parking Lots. Bays are not allocated per unit in the developer's material — ask Kevin to confirm it for the unit you are considering.
Are there EV chargers?
Yes — RM0.33 psf.
Is M Amaya a serviced apartment or a condominium?
The developer describes the residential component as serviced apartments within a mixed development. Beyond the stated freehold tenure, this site does not speculate about title classification — a conveyancing lawyer confirms that for a specific unit.
Layouts
What unit types are available?
Five: Type A 721 sq ft (1 bedroom + study), Type B 990 sq ft (3 bedrooms), Type C 1,211 sq ft (4 bedrooms), Type E 1,335 sq ft (4 bedrooms) and Type D 1,432 sq ft (4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms).
How many units are there of each type?
Type A 288, Type B 344, Type C 115, Type D 58, Type E 28 — 833 in total across two towers, plus 11 commercial shop lots.
Which layout has the most bathrooms?
Type D is the only layout with three bathrooms, plus a separate lavatory off the airwell. Every other type has two.
Location
Where exactly is M Amaya?
Southbay, Batu Maung, Penang Island. Coordinates 5.28491 N, 100.28750 E.
How far is the Second Bridge and the airport?
The developer's nearby-amenities sheet gives 900 m to the Penang Second Bridge and 7.3 km to Penang International Airport. Its strategic-location page gives slightly different figures for the airport and Queensbay Mall; the location page shows both.
Will there be a train station?
Yes — the Mutiara Line is under construction, with its nearest station, Permatang Damar Laut (S02), 4.6 km from Southbay. Opening is targeted for December 2031, so plan on a car until then.
Buying & viewing
What is the M Amaya completion date?
The developer states 2030. It is a proposed date for a project under construction, not a contractual delivery promise.
Is M Amaya freehold?
Yes — the developer states freehold tenure on a 4.8-acre site.
Who is the developer?
Vienna View Development Sdn Bhd (728448-H), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mah Sing Group Berhad (230149-P). The architect is East Design Architect Sdn Bhd.
Can I visit or view M Amaya in person?
Viewings are arranged personally by Kevin Lee — message him on WhatsApp with a time that suits you, and he will confirm the meeting details with you privately.
How do I ask about a specific unit?
Message Kevin with the layout and the stack you are considering. He will walk you through the layouts, arrange a viewing, and answer your questions clearly — including which layouts he would not put you in.
Can foreigners buy M Amaya?
Possibly, for selected units — but it is never automatic, and the layout or the price alone does not decide it. Eligibility is a separate, unit-specific test that depends on the individual unit, the current Penang foreign-acquisition rules, developer availability and Penang State Authority approval.
