Penang is set to unveil its first integrated senior living resort, Eden at Botanica CT, in Balik Pulau, by next year. The development, a joint venture with Eden-On-The-Park, consists of 350 units spread across 16 floors, complemented by a nursing care unit and a Selgate private hospital. With over 7.7% of Penang's population aged 65 and above, and this number projected to reach 26.2% by 2040, the resort aims to address the mental health concerns of senior citizens and their caregivers.
The project, conceptualized in 2020, prioritizes a holistic approach to care, catering to issues ranging from loneliness to limited mobility. Despite its location relatively far from hospitals and the main township, the resort's developers emphasize the tranquil and green surroundings of Botanica CT, offering a much-needed respite for senior residents.
As of now, about 30-40% of the units have already been sold. Completion of the resort is set for 2027, with gradual rollout based on supply and demand.
