Zac’s Take
Zac Ong
With roughly 1,280 homes, Vertu Resort is one of the biggest condominiums in Aspen Vision City, Aspen Group's township in Batu Kawan next to IKEA and the second Penang bridge.
It's freehold, and resale prices are moderate: about RM450,000 to RM730,000, with typical homes around RM470–550 per sq ft. A 1,030 sq ft three-bedroom has been listed around RM500,000, and a 1,180 sq ft home around RM598,000. Rents run about RM1,800–2,200 a month.
It suits families working in Batu Kawan and the southern mainland who want resort-style facilities at a sensible price. The scale cuts both ways: plenty of buyers and tenants, but plenty of competing listings too.

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
Batu Kawan's noise levels, traffic, neighbour mix, and JMC quality are known quantities at Vertu Resort.
Established maintenance
The building has a track record. Ask for the management accounts, sinking fund balance and recent meeting minutes before you commit.
How Vertu Resort is priced within Batu Kawan
At roughly RM350 psf, Vertu Resort sits toward the value end of Batu Kawan's condo band (RM450–620 psf). That usually reflects building age, floor level, or distance from the area's prime frontage — worth checking which, because the first two are negotiable and the third is not.

5 things to check before signing the Vertu Resort SPA
- 1.Sinking fund health — Confirm the current balance and whether any special assessment is pending in the next 12 months. A thin sinking fund on an ageing building means you inherit the bill.
- 2.Last 3 maintenance billings — Verify payment is up to date and no dues are outstanding from the seller — arrears transfer with the unit, not the person.
- 3.JMC minutes (last 12 months) — Look for recurring complaints, structural concerns, or planned major works. This is the single most revealing document most buyers never ask for.
- 4.Common-area condition — Physically walk the pool deck, lifts, lobbies, gym and parking ramps. Photograph anything concerning — it is negotiation leverage.
- 5.Management track record — Ask who manages the building and how long they have held the contract. Frequent turnover of managing agents usually signals a difficult JMB.
Vertu Resort price 2026
What Vertu Resort trades at on the sub-sale market, last checked 2026-10-05.

Post-completion transacted range. Asking is not transacted — expect movement between the two.
The building is 5 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 RM500,000 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.

Vertu Resort subsale — common questions
What is the price of Vertu Resort?
Vertu Resort runs RM450,000 to RM730,000. That is the post-completion transacted range. That works out to about RM350–380 per square foot. Checked 2026-10-05.
Is Vertu Resort freehold or leasehold?
Vertu Resort 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 Vertu Resort?
Yes, on the larger units. Seberang Perai sets a RM500,000 minimum for foreign buyers of strata property, which the entry price does not clear. Add the state levy, a flat 8% stamp duty, and 3–4 months for state consent.
How much is the rent at Vertu Resort?
Asking rents ran from RM1,800 to RM2,200 a month in 2026, for three- and four-bedroom homes of about 1,000–1,290 sq ft. These are asking rents on the main property portals, not signed leases. Short-term holiday letting isn't allowed in condos on Penang Island, so think in one- or two-year tenancies.
When was Vertu Resort completed?
Vertu Resort was completed in 2021 by Aspen Group, so homes here are bought from existing owners.
How many homes are there at Vertu Resort?
1,282 in total. With that many, expect plenty of similar units on the market when you come to sell.
What is Vertu Resort?
A freehold, resort-themed condominium by Aspen Group in Batu Kawan — 1,282 units, completed in 2021.
