Straits Quay - Penang's 1st Retail Marina to re-define entertainment experience

2 new malls opened in Penang this week! The First Avenue Mall at Georgetown city centre and Straits Quay at Seri Tanjung Pinang, Tanjung Tokong.

1st Avenue Mall, opens progressively since 26 November and official launch on 3Q 2011

Although both are just soft launching with few of the tenants opened, but in the near future, latest by 3rd Quarter in 2011, the retail landscape in Penang will be changed! Not to mention the coming Gurney Paragon and Penang Timesquares 2nd Phase. Penang-lang will have more choices rather than the current Gurney Plaza and Queensbay Mall.

This post is about Straits Quay. I had passed through there few times but it was not opened to public then.

So, I got the pictures from Straits Quay Facebook page and few other blogs. And I believe the pics will tell the stories =)

British style, classy. A touch of elegance
Imagine the new year countdown here with the fireworks

It's a multi-billions project by E&O Groups. This is just the 1st Phase.

Water Taxi to carry visitors from E&O Hotel, but strictly for hotel customers


Romantic Penang when night falls


A lot of branded tenants will move in soon, the best of the best is the Royal Selangor Visitor Centre, which is 3rd in the world.

Beautiful



The very first marina retail in Malaysia



DOME is already opened. Expect many more fine dining restaurants here.
i-Dragon is investing RM 5M here, 小笼包 facing the sea soon?

I wish to have my b'day here XD
The entrance




A different feel.


Christmas light up is ready! Let's count down for Christmas there!
Another great thing about Strait Quay - there'll be the 1st ever Performing Art Centre (PAC) in Penang! PenangPAC will adopt the successful KLPac model featuring all genres of the performing arts, exhibitions, opera and theatre.

Good you can watch orchestra here! Besides it offers another options for stage event rather than the fully-booked Dewan Sri Pinang or Komtar Dome.

Excited for the official launch of Straits Quay on July 2011 (if not mistaken)! By then 1st Avenue Mall will have above 80% tenants in and these will bring more colors to Penang lifestyle.
