If you are a property agent from Penang,
you would know where is Batu Kawan.
But if you are from other states of Malaysia,
then you may have passed through Batu Kawan
without you even realizing it ....
For those from out-station and going to the
beautiful island of Pulau Pinang or Penang,
once you exit out from the North-South Highway
onto the Penang Second Bridge ( officially known
as Jambatan Sultan Abdul Halim Muadzam Shah )
then travel for another 5 minutes .... you would
have entered into the territory of Batu Kawan.
Batu Kawan is a hugh place and is the 3rd Township
masterplanned by the Penang Development Corporation .
The major developers here are Ecoworld, Paramount Property
and Aspen.
Today it is also the home to many industries catering to
the Electronics & Electrical sectors, plus Industrial
Automation.
The PDC land available in the areas mentioned is
Batu Kawan (2,946.7 acres for mixed development,
industrial park and affordable housing), East Batu Kawan
(622.6 acres for mixed development, various industries),
South Penang Science Park (173.7 acres for various
industries) and Byram (782.7 acres for various industries).
And recently, Lam Research ( the US-based global supplier
of innovative wafer fabrication equipment and services
to the semiconductor industry ) is investing close
to RM1 billion to build a factory, including offices
and a warehouse on a 138ha site.
The new factory will be the group's
largest manufacturing facility, among its other facilities
in the US, Austria, South Korea and Taiwan.
Apart from residential, commercial and industrial
components, Batu Kawan is also the home for IKEA,
KDU University College, The Ship Campus, Peninsula
College, and Walta Centre of Excellence.
With so much going on here, Batu Kawan is
without doubt the next hotspot for Penang !!
