THE SHORTLIST TEST
Where Merione Residence @ The Light Penang may fit—and where it may not.
Why it could work
Merione may suit a household that wants a manageable family layout near the waterfront precinct without moving into a very large residential community.
What could change the answer
All three plans have three bedrooms, so the real differences are room proportions, entrance position and how the yard, kitchen and balcony work together.

145 homes changes the feel of Merione Residence @ The Light Penang.
A smaller resident population may feel more private, but the management and shared facilities still need to work for you.
Shared costs
Ask for the current maintenance basis and understand which facilities the smaller resident base supports.
Choose the position
Completion is recorded as Q1 2030. Compare the chosen floor, orientation and nearby shared spaces on the plan.
LAYOUTS THAT SOLVE DIFFERENT NEEDS
Start with how you live.
Put Types A and C side by side before paying for the extra area. Their ten-square-foot difference matters less than furniture walls, kitchen circulation and the preferred stack.
Type B
1,055 sq ft
3 bedrooms · 2 bathroomsThe most compact and most numerous plan; test dining circulation and bedroom furniture.
Ask about this layoutType A
1,195 sq ft
3 bedrooms · 2 bathroomsA wider family option with balcony and yard; compare its entrance and living frontage.
Ask about this layoutType C
1,206 sq ft
3 bedrooms · 2 bathroomsThe largest published plan, but only slightly larger than Type A, so plan shape matters.
Ask about this layoutWHAT CHANGES THE DECISION
Look beyond the unit.
Developer: Jelutong Development Sdn Bhd (IJM Land)
2.87 acres · 145 homes
Only three main layouts
The simple plan range makes shortlisting easier, while the tower position and outlook still need a unit-level comparison.
Balcony and yard in every type
Both spaces appear across the published plans. Check depth, sun direction and the relationship between wet work and living space.
AROUND THE PROJECT
Test the location your way.
Walk the waterfront precinct and test the roads you would use towards George Town, Bayan Lepas or the bridges. The wider masterplan should fit your daily route, not only weekend use.
