Beacon Executive Suite by Aspen Group
BEACON Executive Suite is a contemporary Small Office/Home Office (SOHO) development designed for the discerning few who are seeking an exclusive high-rise living and working environment. Located on a one-acre plot on Jalan Sungai Pinang, one of the major roads in George Town, Penang, BEACON offers an ideal location for those wishing to seamlessly integrate their work and lifestyle in a vibrant urban setting.
This 29-storey architectural marvel stands as a testament to contemporary design, gracing the skyline with its striking façade, which is crafted from a dynamic combination of concrete, steel, glass, and greenery. The innovative intersection of full and half balcony designs not only creates a pixelated effect on the facade but also provides shade from the sunlight, breaking the monotony of the building’s exterior.
BEACON comprises 227 SOHO units, each offering approximately 980 square feet of space. There are four distinct types of units in total, featuring one- and two-bedroom flats with the option of either a full or half balcony area. These units are ideal for those seeking a combination of living and working environments, providing the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and style.
One of the standout features of BEACON is its thoughtfully designed floor plan, with units facing towards George Town city and Jelutong town. Additionally, the incorporation of open corridors facilitates the maximised flow of natural air and light, enhancing both comfort and sustainability within the living experience.
At the pinnacle of BEACON, a distinctive Sky Podium is located on levels 28 and 29, which elevates the living experience to new heights, along with unobstructed views of the surrounding cityscape and Penang Bridge. This exclusive space offers an array of luxurious amenities, including an infinity pool, a sky bar, a gym, a children’s playground, and gazebos for relaxation. This unique space provides a perfect balance of work and leisure, allowing residents to unwind and enjoy panoramic views of George Town and the iconic Penang Bridge.
At the ground level, BEACON presents a welcoming atmosphere with its thoughtfully designed drop-off area, complete with a water feature in front of its spacious lobby. Moreover, four commercial units are located at this level to cater to modern conveniences, such as shops or cafes, offering additional convenience for the needs of its residents and visitors.
For ease of movement, BEACON features ample parking spaces, including a multi-storey car park and designated motorcycle parking bays on the podium levels. This thoughtful design ensures smooth traffic flow and provides easy accessibility for both residents and guests within the building.
In summary, BEACON is not just an ordinary SOHO development – it is a lifestyle choice. Its cutting-edge design, combined with luxurious amenities and a flexible living model, makes it the perfect development for those who wish to work, live, and play in one of Penang’s most sought-after locations. With its contemporary façade, panoramic views, and premium facilities, BEACON is set to offer an exclusive living experience for modern professionals and families alike.
