The Brezza Review 2026 — Tanjung Tokong Family Homes Priced About Where They Sold at Completion

The Brezza is one of the cheaper ways to live in Tanjung Tokong: a three-bedroom of about 1,250 sq ft from roughly RM567,000, five minutes from Straits Quay. Here's the number that explains why. Its earliest recorded transactions, at completion in late 2011 and early 2012, were about RM560,000 to RM675,000. Fourteen years later, entry asking prices sit at about the same level. My read: leasehold is most of the reason, and more recently, new supply next door.

Key takeaways:

• 312 leasehold homes in two 23-storey towers by UDA, completed 2011, on Jalan Desiran Tanjung.
• Three-bedrooms of about 1,250–1,450 sq ft; entry asking around RM567,000.
• Recorded at about RM560,000–675,000 at completion: typical units have barely moved in price.
• Furnished rents about RM2,300–3,000 a month; about 5% gross at the entry price.
• Leasehold is the catch: check the remaining term.

What you get

Practical family homes: three bedrooms and two bathrooms, about 1,250 to 1,450 sq ft, roughly seven per floor. Facilities include a pool and wading pool, gym, sauna, jacuzzi, jogging track, barbecue area, clubhouse, playground and covered parking with 24-hour security. The last quoted service charge was about RM0.22 per sq ft; confirm the current rate with the management.

Why prices have stood still

My read is two reasons. Leasehold: many buyers in Tanjung Tokong want freehold, so leasehold stock resells to a smaller pool and banks lend less as the lease shortens. And, more recently, supply: new launches nearby, from Eight & Eight next door to Crown Penang, compete for the same family buyer.

For a buyer, that's the opportunity. You get a Tanjung Tokong address and a proper three-bedroom for well under RM700,000 at the entry level. For an investor hoping for growth, the last 14 years are the honest guide.

Prices and rents in 2026

Asking prices started from about RM567,000. Furnished rents in the listings I tracked ran about RM2,300–3,000 a month. On RM620,000 at RM2,600, that's about 5% gross before costs, above the area's typical range because the price is low.

Getting around

Measured road distances at free-flow speeds:

• Straits Quay: about 2.7 km, 5 minutes.
• Gurney Plaza: about 3.7 km, 6 minutes.
• Tenby International School: about 4.9 km, 8 minutes.
• Dalat International School: about 5.2 km, 8 minutes.
• Gleneagles: about 5.4 km, 8 minutes.
• Komtar: about 7.4 km, 10 minutes.

The catches

Leasehold first. Get the remaining lease term from the title before you discuss price, and ask your bank what it will lend on it.

At 15 years old, check the management accounts and sinking fund, and with 312 similar homes, buy a unit with a floor and outlook you can sell.

Few units reach the RM1M foreign-buyer minimum.

How it compares

Eight & Eight, UDA's newer leasehold project next door, is the new-build alternative from about RM691,000. Crown Penang is freehold (commercial title) from about RM704,000 at around RM1,000 per sq ft. The Brezza is the finished, cheaper option of the three, and the only one you can let out today.
