Investment Entry Option
As an investor I looked at Sea View Tower because recent sales show PSF around RM 300-450, and median price around RM 400k for decent size (~1,100-1,300 sq ft) units. The freehold status also appeals. But the yield is moderate — given size and price, rental returns may not be high unless you pick a smaller good-lot unit. Plus, location being a little off the island means growth may be slower than Penang Island properties. -

Resort Facilities & Solid Location
What we like about Sea View Tower is the amenities: infinity pool, Jacuzzi, sauna, gym and sky lounge. For a Mainland Penang development, that's more than many comparable blocks. The supermarket and shopping are a short drive, and the Butterworth area is maturing. That said, the building is from 2008 so common areas show age, lifts are slower than new-blocks, and units facing the ferry terminal side get more dust and noise. If you choose a higher floor and face away from the terminal you’ll get the better experience. -

Large Freehold Units on the Mainland
We moved into Sea View Tower about five years ago. The freehold tenure and unit size (ours is ~1,800 sq ft) are big draws for us — you don’t often find such ‘space’ on the mainland side. Also, the location near the ferry terminal and Penang Bridge means connectivity is OK for us. On the flip side: the “sea view” partly includes large container/lorry yards from the neighbouring terminal, and occasional truck noise does drift through — so if you buy here, check your orientation and view carefully. -
