SEBERANG JAYA, July 19, 2025 — In a groundbreaking ceremony officiated by the Prime Minister, YAB Dato’ Seri Utama Anwar Ibrahim, the highly anticipated SkyWorld Development Bhd officially launched its first phase — a landmark moment not only for Penang, but also for the future of affordable housing in Malaysia.

Witnessed by Housing and Local Government Minister YB (KPKT) Nga Kor Ming and Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow, the event signals SkyWorld Development Berhad’s debut in Penang — just eight months after signing a Joint Development Agreement (JDA) with Penang Development Corporation (PDC) and PDC Properties.

Redefining Affordable Living in Penang

Set on 31.2 acres of prime freehold land along Jalan Todak in Seberang Jaya, SkyWorld Pearlmont is a key component of the national Rumah Bakat Baru (RBB) MADANI initiative — one of Malaysia’s largest government-led affordable housing efforts to date.

The first phase (Phase 1A) features three residential towers comprising 1,846 units, each with 900 sqft layouts, three bedrooms, and two bathrooms — tailored for families, young professionals, and middle-income Malaysians seeking quality homes at accessible prices.

Priced between RM323,000 and RM390,000, each unit offers one or two car park lots and is designed around SkyWorld’s "Healthy Home Design" concept, which prioritizes:

• Natural cross-ventilation
• Ample daylighting
• Passive cooling
• Energy-efficient living

Smart Construction, Fast Delivery

SkyWorld Pearlmont is also the first project in Penang to adopt Prefabricated Prefinished Volumetric Construction (PPVC) — a cutting-edge building method where housing modules are fully constructed off-site (with tiling, painting, and fittings), then assembled on-site.

This innovative method delivers multiple advantages:

• Faster build times
• Higher construction precision
• Better safety and quality control
• Less disruption to surrounding areas

“This is a product built with premium quality, but priced affordably — a breakthrough made possible by our PPVC innovation,” said SkyWorld CEO Lee Chee Seng.

Government-Endorsed and Future-Ready

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim praised the development as “a modular, fast, and technologically advanced housing model,” positioning it as a national benchmark for future affordable projects.

He emphasized the importance of building not just houses, but sustainable communities with integrated amenities such as preschools, daycares, and schools — all of which are part of Pearlmont’s long-term master plan.

Housing Minister Nga Kor Ming added that SkyWorld will deliver over 37,000 affordable units across Penang — including 6,368 in Seberang Jaya and 31,000 more in Batu Kawan, aligning with government efforts to ensure housing access for the younger generation and the growing workforce.

Live Better, Smarter, and More Affordably

As the cost of living continues to rise and affordability becomes a growing concern, SkyWorld Pearlmont introduces a smarter, future-ready housing solution for Malaysian homebuyers. This development blends quality living, lifestyle convenience, and long-term value—perfect for first-time buyers, young families, and working professionals.

With its strategic location in Seberang Jaya, premium construction technology, integrated lifestyle amenities, and strong government backing, SkyWorld Pearlmont is set to be one of the most desirable affordable freehold addresses in northern Malaysia.
