Jesselton Villas (GPS: 5.42023, 100.2961) is an upscale gated and guarded housing estate being planned in George Town, Penang. To be developed by Berjaya Land Developer Sdn Bhd, Jesselton Villas will offer 208 freehold bungalow lots to prospective buyers on a 58-acre plot. These plots are located at the end of Jalan Batu Gantung, to the west of the Penang Turf Club, and immediately adjacent to the affluent neighbourhood of Jesselton Heights.
Properties at Jesselton Villas are being offered at RM552 per square food upwards. Being a serviced community, there is a planned maintenance charge of RM0.08 per square foot. The property will only be expected to be completed in February 2018.
Jesselton Villas is the result of the purchase of Penang Turf Club land by Berjaya Land Bhd (BLand), as reported in The Star Biz Week on 17 August, 2011. This follows the failure to develop the area by Abad Naluri due to public opposition to the Penang Global Centre (PGCC) project. As a result, Berjaya Land through its founder and chairman Tan Sri Vincent Tan came in to purchase 22.8 hectares of the freehold land within the Penang Turb Club for RM459 million cash. Apart from this gated and guarded community, the company is also expected to build affordable housing units in the same area, though a distance from the high-end properties.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
