S P Setia steps up northern Penang push with 40.5ha Heritage Park
KUALA LUMPUR: S P Setia Bhd is stepping up its presence in northern Penang, almost a decade after acquiring more than 684 hectares in Bertam, Kepala Batas, with the launch of a new public park aimed at strengthening the appeal of its Setia Fontaines township.
SP Setia is expanding its northern Penang presence with the opening of the 40.5-hectare Setia Fontaines Heritage Park. The developer, which acquired over 684 hectares in Bertam, Kepala Batas a decade ago, is using the park to enhance the appeal of its Setia Fontaines township. The park, part of SP Setia's placemaking strategy, includes a 25.5-hectare man-made lake and musical fountain.
Penang State Executive Councillor Wong Hon Wai emphasized the potential socio-economic benefits for Kepala Batas and the northern Seberang Perai region. The park's launch was attended by high-profile figures, including Tun Ramli Ngah Talib and Toh Puan Noora Ashikin Raja Abdullah. SP Setia's CEO Datuk Zaini Yusoff highlighted the company's commitment to developing townships around community spaces and shared experiences, turning the park into an integrated township that contributes to Penang's growth while providing long-term value.
The event also featured the Jom Mai Setia Fontaines Carnival, a carnival of family and community activities, Malaysia Day programs, cultural and entertainment performances, and tourism-related activations.
