Real Estate Review: 1 Persiaran Gurney

1 Persiaran Gurney are two blocks of luxury condominiums along Gurney Drive. It comprises two blocks which are 27 and 31 storeys in height, totalling 198 units on freehold tenure. The condominium was built in 1984, making them one of the earliest luxury high rise in George Town. The units range in size from 1,270 to 1,818 square feet. The estimated selling price is from RM460,000 to RM550,000 while the estimated monthly rental is from RM2,000 to RM5,800. Maintenance fee is RM0.15 per square foot.

They are among the earliest luxury skyscrapers in George Town, and they occupy an equally historic site: 1 Persiaran Gurney condominiums stand on the site that was once occupied by the fabulous bungalow of Kapitan Cina Chung Thye Pin, the last Kapitan Cina of Perak, and son of the equally imminent Kapitan Cina Chung Keng Kwee, who built Hai Kee Chan.

There are a total of 192 units at 1 Persiaran Gurney, with about 4 units to a floor. Each unit occupies an area of between 1,400 to 1,900 square feet. There are also 6 penthouse units with sizes ranging between 5,000 to 6,000 square feet.
