Fera Courtyard Terraces @ Andaman Island, Penang

The government register lists 101 Fera terraces so far, in four phases of 28, 23, 22 and 28 houses. The same four filings include 36 Senna semi-detached homes, for 137 landed homes in all.

The Edge Malaysia reported in May 2024 that E&O plans 290 Fera terraces in total, released phase by phase, so the count will grow as new phases are registered.

Yes. The advertisements E&O filed with the housing register for all four phases print the tenure as freehold (‘Kekal’, or ‘Bebas’ on the Phase 2 filing), and The Edge Malaysia reported on 6 May 2024 that every house sits on freehold land with an individual title. EdgeProp also described the island’s first-phase residences as freehold.

E&O’s own Fera page does not state the tenure; the filed advertisements do. The Phase 3 and 4 advertisements also note that the land is charged to Public Bank Berhad, which is ordinary project financing, while the Phase 1 and 2 advertisements record no charge. Your solicitor’s title search at signing is the final word.

The developer’s Phase 3 and 4 advertisements filed with the register print four types. Type A, the intermediate house, is 335.89 sq m (3,615 sq ft) with four bedrooms and five bathrooms. Type B, a corner house, is 373.01 sq m (4,015 sq ft) with four bedrooms and five bathrooms. Type C, the large corner house, is 480.56 sq m (5,173 sq ft) with six bedrooms and seven bathrooms. Type D, another corner house, is 364.31 sq m (3,921 sq ft) with four bedrooms and five bathrooms; the filed Phase 3 site plan marks one, on Lot 601. The Edge Malaysia reported the land: 1,798 sq ft on a 24 ft by 75 ft lot for Type A, 2,809 to 3,283 sq ft for Type B and 3,315 to 4,015 sq ft on a 33 ft by 75 ft lot for Type C.

All are three storeys, and every plan shows a lift and a helper’s room. The Phase 1 and 2 advertisements print larger areas for Types A, B and C (395.54, 428.36 and 547.39 sq m) with one more bathroom each, and the register lists four, five or seven bedrooms, so ask me for the measured area of the lot you are considering.

In principle, yes. Penang Island’s minimum for a non-citizen buying landed property is RM3,000,000, and the lowest figure on any of the four permits is RM3,617,000, so the whole band clears the floor.

State consent is still required for each purchase, a 3% state levy is charged on approval, the house cannot be resold for three years, and non-citizens pay a flat 8% stamp duty on residential property. Bumiputera-quota lots, if any are designated, are closed to foreigners. I can walk you through the application before you commit.

Phases 1 and 2 are finished: the register records completion and vacant possession on 27 January 2026.

Phase 3 was 60.91% built and Phase 4 was 42.32% built on the latest returns. Under Schedule G the developer has 24 months from the agreement; the first agreements put the latest dates at 24 September 2027 for Phase 3 and 17 November 2027 for Phase 4. The developer’s advertisements filed for both phases print August 2027 as the expected completion.

If you want keys now, look at Phase 1, where the register showed one terrace unsold, or at resale homes in Phases 1 and 2. If you want choice, Phase 4 had 19 unsold terraces and Phase 3 had nine when I read the register.

On type, the intermediate Type A is the smallest house on the smallest lot; the corner Types B, C and D add land on one side, and Type C has about 1,500 sq ft more built-up area than Type A and two more bedrooms. The two filed site plans on this page show which type sits on which lot: by my count Type A makes up 79 of the 101 houses, with 12 Type B, 9 Type C and a single Type D. Check each lot against the parks, the main road and the next construction parcel.

The only public price information I use is the government permit band: RM3,617,000 to RM6,400,000 for the terraces across the four phases. That is the band on the advertising permit, not the price of any unit, and I do not repeat figures from portals or advertisements.

E&O has not published monthly charges for the landed precinct on its Fera page. Message me and I will send the current price list, the remaining lots and the charges in writing.

They are sister products in the same Shoreline precinct, filed together on the register. Senna is the semi-detached line: 36 homes registered so far, of 70 planned according to The Edge. Its Phase 1 homes were reported at 5,337 sq ft built-up on 3,488 to 3,864 sq ft of land, on 36 ft by 79 ft lots.

On the register 35 of the 36 Senna homes were sold, so the real choice today is among Fera terraces. A Type C corner Fera at 5,173 sq ft comes within about 160 sq ft of a Phase 1 Senna, with a neighbour on one side instead of none.

For daily life, straight-line distances from the pin are 988 m to Straits Quay, 1.3 km to Island 88, 1.6 km to Gurney Plaza, 1.7 km to SJK(C) Hun Bin, 2.6 km to Gleneagles Hospital and 4.0 km to Tenby Schools Penang. Shops on the island itself are still part of the plan, so groceries mean crossing a bridge for now.

For renting, a house of 3,615 sq ft or more is a family or expatriate home, a far smaller tenant pool than apartments draw. I do not quote rental figures. If letting is your main aim, tell me and we can look at whether the island’s apartments suit you better.
