Location of Southbay Plaza

Southbay Plaza is 17.1 km from Komtar. A single round trip to downtown totals over 30 km, so for residential owners, it is more suitable for those who work or own businesses in the Bayan Lepas area. The same consideration does not apply to commercial owners, as the Batu Maung area will become more densely populated in the coming future, offering improved catchment of traffic to the plaza.

Traffic situation at Southbay Plaza

Traffic along Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway is increasing rapidly. The widening of the expressway to six lanes the whole way improves the traffic flow significantly.
