Zac’s Take
Zac Ong
Ninety-four units. That is the entire development, and on an island where the default answer is a four-hundred-unit tower, it is the reason to look at Celesta Residency at all. Red Blue Development completed it on Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah in 2022, freehold, with 2026 listings from about RM850,000 to RM1.03M across layouts from 850 sq ft up to 2,100 sq ft penthouses; a 1,250 sq ft three-bedroom starts around RM876,000. At roughly RM700 psf you are paying up against the bigger blocks nearby, and the amenity provision is deliberately spare — a swimming pool, a children's playground, adult fitness stations, car park, and that is the complete list. If shared facilities are the thing you are buying, this is not a fit.

Immediate occupancy
Move in within months, not years. Most resales complete in four to six months, a little longer if you need state consent as a foreign buyer.
Verified surroundings
Sungai Nibong's noise levels, traffic, neighbour mix, and JMC quality are known quantities at Celesta Residency.
Established maintenance
The building has a track record. Ask for the management accounts, sinking fund balance and recent meeting minutes before you commit.
How Celesta Residency is priced within Sungai Nibong
At roughly RM1000 psf, Celesta Residency prices toward the upper end of Sungai Nibong's condo band (RM560–1000 psf). Expect to justify that with something concrete: sea view, low density, branded management, or a genuinely superior position within the area.

What to inspect before you commit at Celesta Residency
- 1.Internal pipes and electrical — For buildings past the ten-year mark, ask for a recent plumbing inspection. Full repiping is a five-figure cost you do not want to discover after VP.
- 2.Waterproofing and ceiling stains — Check bathroom floors, balcony thresholds and the ceiling directly under any upstairs wet area. Old stains that were painted over will reappear.
- 3.Lift modernisation status — Lifts have a service life. Ask whether modernisation has been done or is being planned — it is one of the largest special assessments a JMB can raise.
- 4.Original vs renovated layout — Confirm any structural alteration by a previous owner was approved. Unapproved hacking can complicate financing and your own future resale.
- 5.Actual unit orientation — Visit at the time of day you would normally be home. Afternoon west sun in Penang changes both comfort and your electricity bill.

Recent prices. Listings about RM850,000–1.03M; layouts 850–2,100 sq ft (1,250 sq ft homes from about RM876,000). Completed January 2022, six homes per floor.
The building is 4 years old. Still young. The defects liability period has long expired, so anything outstanding is now the management corporation’s problem and, through the sinking fund, partly yours. Check what was actually rectified.
A foreign buyer can purchase here — the RM1M minimum is cleared by the larger units, though not at the entry price. Add the state levy, a flat 8% stamp duty and 3–4 months for state consent.
Selling rather than buying? The RPGT rates and the 21B retention decide what you keep — and if you are near the five-to-six-year line, the date matters more than the price.

Celesta Residency subsale — common questions
What is the price of Celesta Residency?

Is Celesta Residency freehold or leasehold?
Celesta Residency is freehold. I have not been able to confirm the land title class — check it with the developer, because a commercial title changes your utility tariffs and loan margin.
Can a foreigner buy at Celesta Residency?
Yes, on the larger units. Penang Island sets a RM1,000,000 minimum for foreign buyers of strata property, which the entry price does not clear. MM2H participants have a lower minimum of RM500,000 (residential, up to two homes), which opens the cheaper units too. Add the state levy, a flat 8% stamp duty, and 3–4 months for state consent.
When was Celesta Residency completed?
Celesta Residency was completed in 2022 by Red Blue Development (TGB Group), so homes here are bought from existing owners.
How big are the homes at Celesta Residency?
Homes range from about 850 to 2,100 sq ft. There are 94 homes in total.
Is Celesta Residency a new launch or subsale?
It's a subsale. Celesta Residency was completed in 2022, so you buy from an existing owner rather than the developer.
Who developed Celesta Residency?
Red Blue Development (TGB Group).
