Zac’s Take
Zac Ong
By The Sea is Selangor Dredging Berhad's beachfront development at Batu Ferringhi — three low-rise blocks (5–11 storeys), 138 units, freehold, completed in 2015. It sits right on Penang's traditional resort-beach stretch.
Subsale asking runs a wide RM1,200–1,704 psf, from about RM1.25M. The appeal is direct beach-corridor living and holiday/short-stay rental demand that this stretch generates — a different investment thesis from a Gurney city condo.
My honest take: this is a resort-lifestyle asset. If you want a beach base with rental upside, it fits — but confirm the building's short-stay stance with the JMC before you assume Airbnb income, since rules vary by management. Ask me which units sit closest to the water.
