What Stands Out at Lumina Residence
Three Bedrooms in Every Unit
All six layouts, Types A to D1, have three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Sizes run from 1,206 sq ft for Type D to 1,518 sq ft for Type A, so the choice comes down to floor area and plan shape rather than room count.
Nine Homes, Four Lifts
Each tower floor holds nine units, and four lifts serve each tower. That is two or three homes per lift on a floor, which keeps the lift lobby less busy than in towers that put many more units on one level.
Two or Three Car Bays
Every unit comes with two to three car parks. One bay per unit is wired with a plug point that can take an EV charger, with electricity for charging subject to management. A two-car household should not need to rent an extra bay.
Facilities on Levels 9 and 10
Facilities spread over levels 9 and 10: the Olympic-sized pool with a wading pool and pool lounge, a sky garden, a serenity lawn, maze and spice gardens, a canopy bridge, indoor and outdoor gyms, a multi-purpose hall, a barbeque pavilion and a play area for children. A sky pool is part of the plan as well.
Freehold on a Residential Title
The land is freehold and the homes sit on a residential title. For a foreign buyer in Penang, that title carries the lower state application fee of RM10,000 per title instead of the RM20,000 charged on a commercial title.
Price per Square Foot and Upkeep
Listed prices work out to about RM975 psf. The maintenance estimate, sinking fund included, is RM0.35 psf, so a 1,518 sq ft Type A pays proportionally more each month than a 1,206 sq ft Type D.

How many car parks come with a unit at Lumina Residence?
Each unit comes with two to three car parks. One of them has a plug point that can take an EV charger; electricity for charging is subject to management.
Can foreigners buy at Lumina Residence?
Yes. Penang's minimum price for foreigners buying island strata property is RM1,000,000, and the cheapest unit here is RM1,176,450, so every unit qualifies on price. The purchase still needs approval by the State Authority.
What does a foreign buyer pay the state at Lumina Residence?
Three items. First, the state application fee: RM10,000 per title, as Lumina Residence carries a residential title; a lawyer files the application. Second, the levy, due within 30 days of approval: 1.5% when the unit costs between RM1,000,000 and RM1,500,000, or 3% when it costs more than RM1,500,000. Third, a holding rule rather than a charge: a foreign owner cannot resell within the first 3 years after the SPA. Penang sets RM500,000 for MM2H participants, capped at two units; the MM2H buyer must still reach the higher of this and the programme's own property minimum.
Who is Lumina Residence suited to?
Going by its record, Lumina Residence suits families who need three bedrooms or more (layouts go up to 1,518 sq ft); foreign buyers (it starts above Penang island's RM1,000,000 minimum for a foreign buyer of a strata home); buyers watching monthly costs (maintenance is RM0.35 per sq ft, below the RM0.40 median of the projects we track).
