1-World

1 World Condominium, Bayan Baru (10 July 2015)


1-World (GPS: 5.32878, 100.28483) is a 26-storey condominium at The One Penang Cyber City in Bayan Baru, Penang. Developed by Ideal, it is located between Lorong Mahsuri 3 and Lorong Mahsuri 4. Originally described as a 23-storey intelligent office building, 1-World has somewhere along the way morphed into a residential project. It has also spewed an additional block, originally called 1-World II, and then renamed 1-Sky.

It was completed at the end of 2012 on 99-year leasehold land. The condominiums have two unit types. Type A has a built-up area of 1,380 sqft while Type B a built-up area of 1,650 sqft.

My opinion of 1-World

This is a leasehold property in the heart of Bayan Baru. Living here means you are near to most of the amenities of the township. If you choose the units facing south, you can nice views of Bayan Baru, all the way to the Second Penang Bridge, as there are no tall buildings in front. On the other hand, if you choose the units facing north, we are face-to-face with 1-Sky.

Should buying leasehold be a concern? Yes and no. If you are staying there long term, it shouldn't be a problem, and you are unlikely to outlive the lease. Moreover, leasehold properties usually sell at a more attractive price than freehold ones. On the other hand, and for the same reason, leasehold properties might not appreciate as much as freehold ones.

Facilities at 1-World

Facilities include 24-hour security, multi-storey car-park (2 car park bays per unit), gymnasium and barbecue area, among others.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
