Setia Sky Ville is a freehold condominium in Jelutong, Penang. A sanctuary in the city, this S P Setia Berhad project comprises two 33-storey towers with an abundance of facilities and landscaping to indulge in. It features 5 different layout options ranging from 1,036 sq ft – 1,424 sq ft. All units come with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.

Setia Sky Ville is a resort-style retreat with ample landscaping in the heart of Jelutong. Strategically located just a short drive to vibrant Georgetown, it offers the perfect blend of urban accessibility and serene living. Come home to a tropical paradise featuring bubbling fountains, cascading waterways, a private double-storey clubhouse, and meticulously-crafted gardens.

This development is located along Lorong Slim, which branches off from the major thoroughfare of Jalan Free School. It is also easily accessible via Jelutong’s main arteries of Jalan Masjid Negeri, Jalan Jelutong, and Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway (LCE). Penang Bridge is only 5 km from the residence, while Penang International Airport is just 15 km away.

There are two towers in Setia Sky Ville – Tower A and Tower B. Both stand 33-storeys tall and house 550 units in total. Residents enjoy a low-density layout of only 11 units per floor in Tower A, and 9 units per floor in Tower B. Each floor is conveniently served by 5 lifts.

Targeted at couples and small families in the area looking to upgrade from their family home, all units come standardised with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. There are five layouts to choose from, including selected ground floor units that come with an attached garden and terrace. Each unit is allocated at least 2 parking bays each.

An idyllic tropical landscape is recreated at Setia Sky Ville with a 1-acre cascading Water Garden and 3 acres of lush landscaped gardens. Residents are treated to a vast array of facilities spread between the Ground Floor and Level 7.

On the Ground Floor, a unique 50m saltwater swimming pool invites residents in for a relaxing dip. The cherry on top is the double-storey residents’ clubhouse, which features a fully-equipped fitness centre, games room, children’s play room, guest lounge, and multipurpose hall.

Meanwhile, Level 7 houses a variety of carefully curated thematic gardens. After a long day at work, residents can take a breather in the Citrus Grove, Petunia Courtyard, and Tai-Chi Garden. A full-sized basketball court and herb garden are available as well.

Regarded as the “Silicon Valley of the East”, this high-tech industrial area was the first free trade zone to be established in Penang. It houses major multinational giants and is primarily known for its electronics sector.

One of the forerunners in Malaysia’s property sector, S P Setia was first established in 1974. Today, the group has since grown to become a multiple award-winning public listed developer, with an international presence in countries such as Japan, Australia, China, and the United Kingdom. Developments by S P Setia are guided by their LiveLearnWorkPlay philosophy – emphasising a holistic and enriching lifestyle for residents.

Another similar S P Setia development in Penang is Setia V Residences, a freehold condominium in Georgetown.

This project was launched in 2016 and subsequently completed in 2021.
