Abrezza is one of E&O's three Villas By-The-Sea at the top of the Seri Tanjung Pinang landed cluster. Freehold, three storeys, 6+1 bedrooms, from 5,322 sqft built-up. Completed 2013 by E&O Property. Current asking RM6.7M-7.5M, portal-verified September 2026. The buyer walking into an Abrezza viewing is almost always a three-generation family that's decided the next 20 years should feel like living in a large private home rather than managing a landed estate on their own — and Abrezza is one of the very few Penang properties that delivers that at the size band it does on strata-title convenience.

The essentials: E&O's freehold seafront villa cluster inside Seri Tanjung Pinang, completed 2013. Layouts run 5,322 sqft built-up on 4,999-6,840 sqft land plots. 6+1 bedroom configurations. Part of the seafront Villas By-The-Sea enclave rather than the internal streets of the masterplan. Current asking RM6.7M-7.5M. Foreign-buyer eligible with substantial headroom. Rating 4.6/5.

Because listings surface infrequently at this tier, the useful move is to be on my radar rather than force-fit to what's active today — WhatsApp me and I'll flag serious buyers when a unit that fits their brief comes to market.

What "Villas By-The-Sea" means

Seri Tanjung Pinang's landed cluster has eight developments arranged across the reclaimed masterplan. Most of them sit internally to the precinct — you're inside the E&O street network but not on the water. Abrezza is different. It's one of the three designs in E&O's seafront Villas By-The-Sea enclave, with Skye and Martinique, on the seaward side of the reclamation, where the upper floors look toward the strait. That seafront enclave is the value driver here, and it's what puts the three Villas By-The-Sea at the top of STP pricing.

For a buyer who reads "seafront villa" as a specific product, a home in the seafront enclave rather than a walk from the promenade, this is what the Villas By-The-Sea deliver. Check the view from the exact villa, though, as it varies by plot.

What the RM6.7M-7.5M ticket actually buys

A three-storey villa on its own plot of about 5,000 to 6,800 sqft, with six bedrooms plus a staff room. Confirm the exact layout and any shared boundaries on the plan of the villa you're viewing.

Landed-scale interior on strata title. 5,322 sqft built-up across three storeys puts formal living, family living, dining, kitchen, and multiple en-suite bedrooms into a floor plate that Penang's condo market simply doesn't offer at similar ticket. The 6+1 bedroom count includes maid's room, meaning genuine staff accommodation without displacing family space.

A seafront enclave inside a managed E&O precinct. You get the seaside position and the private-plot footprint, while shared security, common landscaping, and the wider masterplan infrastructure (Straits Quay marina, seafront promenade, retail spine) are managed across the estate. This is a specific hybrid — private-plot landed benefits with strata-managed precinct amenity — that neither pure landed nor pure strata offers.

Who this actually fits

The Abrezza buyer profile is narrow but consistent. Three-generation family compounds. Consolidation moves from two or three separate landed homes into one address, with each generation retaining their own space within the villa. Second-home buyers from Hong Kong, Singapore or Taiwan looking at Penang exposure at the area's ceiling product, often as part of a wider Asian portfolio. Malaysia My Second Home applicants at the higher property leg — the RM6.7M+ satisfies the RM1M property requirement with generous overhang, leaving room in the applicant's Malaysian portfolio for another property or two.

Retirees at this price are rarer but real — usually former landed-home owners consolidating to a single private-plot address with strata-managed security so they don't have to run the estate themselves.

Who Abrezza doesn't fit: yield-first investors (yields at this price run 2-3% gross), buyers who need to move in immediately (Abrezza listings are thin — expect 6-18 months from serious search to right-fit unit), and buyers who want the most space for the money (Martinique, at a similar price, is far larger).

The things to check first

Listing frequency is thin. Abrezza is a small handful of villas. Sellers usually list only when they're ready to move, and buyers usually wait for the right unit rather than shopping active inventory. Model your timeline accordingly. If you have a hard move-in date within 6 months, Abrezza may not surface in time; look at Cayman or Skye too.

Landed maintenance is your responsibility. Individual house upkeep — roof, exterior paint, plumbing, gardener — is on the owner rather than the JMC. Budget 1-1.5% of purchase price annually for exterior upkeep on a 13-year-old villa. This is normal for landed but sometimes surprises buyers moving from strata.

Reclaimed-land geotechnical due diligence matters at this price. All STP developments sit on E&O's reclamation. The land is settled and Abrezza has been standing for over a decade, but at RM6.7M+ ticket it's worth asking your solicitor to check the geotechnical report and any settlement history before signing. Standard due diligence, not a warning sign.

Renovation state varies. Thirteen years post-completion, some Abrezza villas have been fully custom-renovated, some are largely original. The RM6.7M-7.5M spread reflects that variance as much as anything else about unit-by-unit positioning. Ask what was upgraded and when — a well-renovated Abrezza saves you RM500K+ of work you'd otherwise do yourself.

Zac’s Take

Zac Ong

Abrezza is one of E&O's three Villas By-The-Sea at Seri Tanjung Pinang — freehold, three storeys, 5,322 sqft built-up, 6+1 bedrooms, completed around 2013. Current asking RM6.7M-7.5M. My view: it suits a large family that wants many bedrooms over three floors in the seafront enclave. Be honest with yourself about value, though: Martinique costs about the same and is far larger. Best-fit alternatives if Abrezza isn't quite right: Martinique for more space at a similar price, Cayman Super Semi-D at RM6.5M if attached-plot semi-D format is acceptable, Andaman @ Quayside strata flagship for the same area at a fraction of the ticket in a completely different product. Listings surface infrequently — be on my radar rather than shop active inventory.

Where to go from here

Send me on WhatsApp your family scale and timeline flexibility. Because Abrezza listings surface infrequently, the sensible model is a private alert when specific villas come to market rather than force-fitting to what's active today.

Broader reads: Seri Tanjung Pinang Landed Villas 2026 is the full ranked cluster read across all 8 STP villas, Martinique review covers the parallel coastal villa, Cayman Super Semi-D review covers the super-semi-D alternative at similar price, Andaman @ Quayside review for the strata flagship in the same precinct. For foreign-buyer costs, see the foreign buyer guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does Abrezza cost in 2026?

+

Current subsale asking is approximately RM6,700,000 to RM7,500,000, portal-verified September 2026. Abrezza sits in the top tier of the Seri Tanjung Pinang landed cluster with Martinique and Skye, E&O's other two Villas By-The-Sea. Listings are infrequent.

Is Abrezza freehold?

+

Yes. Abrezza is freehold on residential land title, developed by E&O Property (Penang) Sdn. Bhd. inside the Seri Tanjung Pinang reclaimed masterplan. Clean legal setup, standard TNB tariff, standard bank loan margins.

How large are Abrezza villas?

+

5,322 sqft built-up on land plots ranging 4,999-6,840 sqft, arranged as 3-storey villas with 6+1 bedrooms, the '+1' being a staff room. Multiple en-suite bedrooms across three levels, generous formal living zones, and family areas that comfortably fit three generations of one household.

Where does Abrezza sit within Seri Tanjung Pinang?

+

Abrezza is one of three designs in E&O's Villas By-The-Sea enclave, alongside Skye and Martinique, on the seaward side of Seri Tanjung Pinang Phase 1. That seafront enclave, rather than the internal streets where most STP villas sit, is a big part of what earns the top-tier price.

Can foreigners buy Abrezza?

+

Yes. Ordinary foreign buyers need RM3,000,000 for landed homes on Penang Island, and Abrezza starts well above that at about RM6.7M. Foreign-buyer costs: 8% flat stamp duty from 1 January 2026, 3% state levy on landed property, the RM10,000 consent fee, 3-4 months for state consent, and usually 70% loan-to-value. On a RM6.7M villa that's about RM2.75M cash to close.

How does Abrezza compare with Martinique and Cayman?

+

Abrezza, Skye and Martinique are E&O's three Villas By-The-Sea and all ask roughly RM6.4M to RM7.5M. Abrezza and Skye are three-storey villas of about 5,200–5,300 sqft; Martinique is much larger, a two-storey courtyard villa of about 9,043 sqft on 11,300–11,900 sqft of land. Cayman at about RM6.5M is a super semi-D with a private lift and pool, outside the seafront enclave.
