The median sale at Batu Kawan, Penang, Malaysia is RM 525,000
Overview
From its humble origins of a fishing village and estates on the mainland in Seberang Perai Selatan, Batu Kawan has now become Penang's third satellite town and is earmarked to be the state's major industrial area, like the island's Bayan Lepas.
The area has also been in the limelight after the Penang state government proclaimed that the RM2.7 billion Bandar Cassia would offer up to 11,800 medium-cost housing units modelled after Singapore's Housing and Development Board schemes.
In 2014, the Penang Second Bridge was opened to facilitate an alternative route to the island. The 24km Sultan Abdul Halim Muadzam Shah Bridge connects Batu Kawan to Batu Maung, on the island which is nearby the Bayan Lepas Industrial area.

Also famed for its seafood offerings, Batu Kawan is also going to house popular furnishing store IKEA in 2020 and a Penang Designer Village development besides being an industrial and education hub.
