Versa, Batu Kawan, Penang

Versa is a freehold serviced apartment in Aspen Vision City, Batu Kawan, Penang. Developed by Aspen Group and conveniently located right next to the exit of Penang Second Bridge, this project features 980 units within two 37-storey towers. These 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom units come with built-ups of either 703 sq ft or 868 sq ft – with the option for spacious private terraces and balconies.

While its neighbour, Vivo Executive Apartment, is tailored for single working adults, Versa is thoughtfully designed for families who appreciate the comfort of a landed-home experience. The larger units feature a private patio that extends the living space outdoors, ideal for gardening or outdoor family time – all within a convenient 1 km walking distance to IKEA and the Central Island Park.

Dubbed as having ‘the best address in the North’, this project is located at the exit of Sultan Abdul Halim Muadzam Shah Bridge (Second Penang Bridge), just three minutes from the Second Penang Bridge toll gates.

Both come with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a functional yard area.
