Island Glades, Penang (3 July 2017)
Island Glades (GPS: 5.38392, 100.30517) is a residential neighbourhood within the suburb of
Jelutong, in
George Town, Penang. When the entire
Green Lane was developed, it became a new suburb detached from Jelutong, and Island Glades became a neighbourhood within Green Lane. Although today it is one of the older housing estates, until the beginning of 1960, Island Glades was still countryside. Before Island Glades was developed, Green Lane was just a single country road leading south.
Island Glades developed rapidly between 1960 and 1975. New houses filled up the former plantation land (hence "glades"). When they were brand new, every row had a different colour roof. So it was quite a vibrant sight. In the early 1980's there was an attempt to rename it Taman Mutiara, but that never really catch on. Today, new high rise residential housing continues to be constructed at the edges of Island Glades, as far as there were still land to build.
