Maris and The Lume spell the Andaman standard in luxury high-rise coastal living in Penang

The beckoning of the sea is somehow irresistible. We are naturally drawn to seek a life where the gentle rhythm of the waves sets our pace—a home where lush greenery is our immediate neighbour, and where every detail around us is curated for our well-being.

This is the promise of the visionary Andaman development in Penang. And within it are two exceptional residences, Maris and The Lume. Both developed by the well-known Eastern & Oriental Bhd (E&O), they represent the pinnacle of waterfront living.

Each residence offers its own distinct interpretation of coastal luxury, while sharing a common dedication to an elevated lifestyle where nature’s beauty, architectural finesse, and everyday convenience converge. Whether it’s the marina-edge vibrancy of Maris, where panoramic sea views meet urban ease; or the resort-style tranquillity of The Lume, where space, privacy, and timeless design reign, these developments reflect the highest standards of craftsmanship and liveability.

Maris—Penang’s first marina-edge residence

Set within the vibrant enclave of Gurney Green, Maris is Penang’s first marina-edge residence, a RM690 million development where the serenity of the coastline meets the energy of the city. Launched in January, Maris spans 3.2 acres of freehold land and rises as a singular 49-storey block housing 516 fully-furnished serviced apartments.

Designed by GDP Architects, each home ranges from 979 to 1,356 sq ft, offering practical layouts, elegant interiors, and wide openings that usher in natural light and sea breeze.

Envisioned as a self-contained ecosystem, Maris is curated with a suite of amenities: from concierge services and business lounges to rooftop viewing decks, a forest garden, and recreational courts. On the ground floor, a lively retail promenade brings everyday convenience to your doorstep, enhancing the live-work-play dynamics.

Maris is ready for occupancy in 2029. Priced from RM950,000 to RM2 million, the units have already been 50% taken up; so, really, don’t wait. 

The Lume redefines the art of space on island living

Next, within Andaman’s exclusive Shoreline precinct, where the tranquillity of waterfront living harmoniously intertwines with a nature-integrated lifestyle, the developer has curated a diverse selection of landed homes, each thoughtfully designed to offer a refined and luxurious waterfront living experience. Here, The Lume stands as the first residential condominium setting a new standard for island living that prioritises space, serenity, and privacy. Officially launched in July 2024 with a gross development value of RM650 million, this freehold development spans 3.16 acres and rises 49 storeys, exclusively offering only 261 units—a truly rare low-density living experience. On top of that, The Lume also stands out for its expansiveness, with homes ranging from 1,722 to 2,874 sq ft, making it ideal for multigenerational families.

Under the skilled hands of GDP Architects and landscape designer SD2, The Lume brings the sophistication of a five-star resort into everyday life. Residents are greeted by a stylish lobby, while a concierge, and business lounge add convenience and character. A beautifully designed podium hosts multiple pools, a co-working lounge, gym, forest pavilion, and playgrounds, while the rooftop crowns the opulence with a function room, viewing lounge, and garden terrace, all overlooking the island’s stunning coastline.

Recognising the value of its prestige, panorama, and permanence, discerning buyers have already taken up 60% of the units, which are tagged from RM2.2 million to RM3.8 million.

Sustainability and community at their cores

Built by a developer deeply rooted in sustainability, both Maris and The Lume adhere to stringent green building standards. Marked by their GreenRE Platinum certifications, both developments are designed with energy efficiency, natural ventilation, and water-saving initiatives. Even from its blueprint, the developments incorporate eco-friendly materials and passive design strategies that reduce carbon footprint while enhancing liveability.

Beyond its environment mindfulness, E&O has envisioned a community-oriented lifestyle, with shared spaces thoughtfully crafted to foster connection, interaction, and a sense of belonging among its residents, who can now actively participate in a future-focused, greener way of life.

Perfectly positioned for urban convenience

Strategically located in Andaman, Maris offers exclusive marina-edge waterfront living in vibrant Gurney Green, while The Lume sets the standard for serene, low-density resort-style living in the tranquil Shoreline enclave. Both offer seamless connectivity via the Andaman and Gurney Bridges, placing residents just minutes away from Penang’s most vital lifestyle and infrastructure amenities. Residents can conveniently access international schools, universities, hospitals, shopping malls, and recreational hot spots.

Whether it’s a morning commute or a sunset stroll along the promenade, both developments are thoughtfully placed within a thriving coastal masterplan, promising a lifestyle that flows effortlessly between serenity and city vibrancy.
