Pinnacle Bukit Gambier @ Gelugor

The first thing that jumped out of the Pinnacle Bukit Gambier pack was not a floor plan — it was the "56% green lung" figure. With land on the island getting pricier every year, setting aside more than half of an almost 8-acre site for greenery says a lot on its own. The project sits at the foot of Bukit Gambier in Gelugor, just 2.4 km from USM, and it is the first Penang launch by a Kuala Lumpur developer whose parent group also runs five-star hotels. Here is a closer look at this high-rise and its back-to-nature theme.
