Balik Pulau’s Eden at Botanica CT: Penang’s first integrated senior living resort

Developed by Eden at Botanica CT Sdn Bhd, this upcoming freehold project in Balik Pulau reimagines retirement living through its integrated care model, blending an Active Living Resort with a full-fledged Nursing Care Residence.

Targeted for completion in 2026, Eden at Botanica CT aims to provide seniors with comfort, independence and security in a purpose-built environment designed around wellness and community.  The average transacted price in the area rose from RM154,000 in 2023 to RM187,000 in 2024, considering most high-rises in Balik Pulau are older, low-cost apartments. Eden at Botanica CT stands out as a rare new wellness-focused development in this segment.

The Active Living Resort caters to independent seniors seeking privacy and lifestyle engagement, while the adjacent Nursing Care Residence offers licensed, professional care based on a model inspired by Australia and localised to meet Malaysia’s Ministry of Health and Social Welfare standards.
