Why this address
Four things buyers weigh at Gurney Paragon Residences
Large, low-density homes on Persiaran Gurney. Here is the case, and the catch.
Gurney on foot
iProperty puts Gurney Paragon Mall about 100 metres away and Gurney Plaza about 300 metres away.
Few neighbours per floor
The West Tower has four units a floor and the East Tower two, according to PropertyGuru, with two covered parking bays per unit.
Hospitals close by
iProperty gives about 2 km to Gleneagles Hospital Penang and about 3 km to Island Hospital.
What to weigh: a small market
With 264 units, sales are few and EdgeProp shows no current listings; its recorded high was RM1,672 psf in June 2014 against a 48-month median of RM943 psf. A large ticket can take time to resell.
The development
Gurney Paragon Residences, decoded
Two 43-storey towers: the West Tower holds 191 units at four a floor and the East Tower 73 units at two a floor. Wikipedia gives each tower a height of about 155 m.

The recorded numbers
The price numbers
Recorded sales and asking prices are different things. Transacted figures come from deals recorded with the government valuation department; asking figures are what owners or the developer are listing at.
| Measure | Figure | Source and date |
|---|---|---|
| Transacted price median, last 48 months | RM943 psf · typical RM826–1,115 psf | EdgeProp, viewed 5 Oct 2026 |
| Asking price for sale, 2,810–6,792 sq ft | RM2.8m–7.5m · about RM820–1,199 psf | PropertyGuru listings, Oct 2026 |
| Asking rent whole units | From about RM6,500–7,000 a month; a 4+1-bed 4,650 sq ft unit asks RM10,000 | PropertyGuru and iProperty, Sep–Oct 2026 |
The transacted row is EdgeProp’s record of sales, which uses smaller unit areas than the portals. The asking rows are listing prices seen in September and October 2026, not transactions. EdgeProp estimates the gross yield at about 3.1%.

Is it for you?
Which kind of buyer are you?
The same building suits different people for different reasons. Pick the line that sounds like you.
🏠 Living here yourself
Layouts here run from about 2,810 to 10,442 sq ft. Ask me which stacks get the better view and the least afternoon sun; that changes the price more than the floor.
💰 Buying to rent out
Compare the recorded rents in "The price numbers" above with the instalment on your loan. Smaller layouts usually rent faster; larger ones hold tenants longer.
👨👩👧 Family with children
Check the school and clinic distances in the location section, the number of car parks per unit and how busy the lifts are at 7.30 am.
✈️ Buying from overseas
Foreigners can only buy above the state minimum price and pay 8% stamp duty from 2026. Ask me which units here qualify before you shortlist.
Straight talk
What I will not hide from you
Every project has trade-offs. These are the ones I would want to know before paying a deposit.
- ⚠️ More than ten years old. Ask for the last AGM minutes and how much maintenance owners still owe; arrears show up as poor upkeep later.
- ⚠️ Asking prices are not sale prices. Compare any offer with the recorded transacted price per sq ft above before you commit.

What buying here costs in 2026

Frequently asked questions
How many units are there, and how big?

Can a foreigner buy here?
On Penang Island a foreigner can generally buy a strata home priced at RM1 million or more (RM3 million for landed homes), with state consent from the Penang Land and Mines Office. The state charges an approval levy of 3% of the price, reduced to 1.5% for island strata homes priced between RM1 million and RM1.5 million, and a foreign owner may resell only after three years from the SPA date. Stamp duty on the transfer of a home is a flat 8% for foreign buyers from 1 January 2026. Asking prices here start at about RM2.8 million, well above the minimum, so units are generally open to foreign buyers and pay the 3% levy.
How much does it rent for?
Portal building pages give rents from about RM6,500 to RM7,000 a month, and a fully furnished 4+1-bedroom unit of 4,650 sq ft was listed at RM10,000 in September 2026.
