Gurney Paragon, the retail-cum-residential complex in Gurney Drive, opens to the public on 16 January, 2012 with the launch of St Jo's, the food & beverage hub of the complex.

St Jo's provides an upscale dining experience in Gurney Paragon. It comprises high-end restaurants and eateries housed within the first two levels of the Gurney Paragon tower blocks. Located in their midst is the restored St Joseph's Novitiate, after which St Jo's is named.

Still under construction is the RM400 million Gurney Paragon Mall, an upscale shopping mall. Attached to the mall is Baby G, a hotel of the same management as G Hotel. The RM80 million Baby G will have 200 rooms. Occupying a 0.4 hectare site facing Kelawei Road, it will command panoramic views of the Gurney waterfront and North Channel.
