THE SHORTLIST TEST
Where Lumina Residence @ Penang may fit—and where it may not.
Why it could work
Lumina may suit owner-occupiers who value proper bedroom sizes, a residential title and a quieter floor plate over compact city units.
What could change the answer
The six plans overlap closely in size. Compare the actual room widths, balcony position and tower orientation instead of assuming the largest plan is automatically best.

Does the wait for Lumina Residence @ Penang suit your plan?
For a home that is not yet completed, the timeline and selected plan should be tested together.
Choose a usable plan
3 published layout groups are shown here. Compare room dimensions, circulation and parking before choosing a package.
Keep the quotation specific
SPA prices from: Ask for current range. Ask for the exact home, floor, facing, parking and package in one quotation.
LAYOUTS THAT SOLVE DIFFERENT NEEDS
Start with how you live.
Ask for the complete tower and stack plan together with the unit layout. Nine homes per floor sounds simple, but orientation and neighbouring walls change privacy and daylight.
Types C / D
1,206–1,216 sq ft
3 bedrooms · 2 bathroomsThe compact end of the range and a useful baseline for testing room sizes.

Ask about this layoutTypes B1 / A

Larger family plansMore space on paper, but the value depends on where the extra area is placed.

About 3.4 acres · 596 homes
Nine homes per floor
Each typical floor is served by three passenger lifts and one service lift in the project details.
Family-sized throughout
The range starts above 1,200 sq ft, so the decision is about proportions and position rather than choosing between a studio and a family home.
AROUND THE PROJECT
Test the location your way.
Test the Pykett and Gurney approaches during school and evening peaks, then walk the immediate streets to decide whether the setting feels convenient for your routine.
