If you have read our previous article on The Lighthauz, we are also covering our review on Keeperz Suites, a freehold service apartment developed by Exsim, comprising of 493 apartment units (Type A – 484 sq ft and Type B – 581 sq ft Dual Key Layout) across two 21-storey towers with retail lots on first 2 levels. Prices start from RM820K to RM1.05 Million. Similar to its sister development, The Lighthauz, it sits on an adjacent plot of land that enjoys direct access to Tun Dr. Lim Chong Eu Expressway, Penang Bridge and the upcoming Mutiara LRT Line (the Penang Waterfront Station). Keeperz Suites is a compact, lifestyle-focused seafront address for long-term holders and investors, as it is positioned as short term rentals.
If you are comparing locations, budgets, and long-term suitability before making a commitment, this is how this article is intended to help – by laying out facts clearly so that you can make informed decisions. We will be covering where Keeperz Suites sits in the broader Penang property landscape, its location in Gelugor, its price positioning, unit layouts, and who it is realistically suited for. These factors matter far more than marketing visuals, especially if you are planning a purchase that you intend to live in or hold for many years.

Where is Keeperz Suites Located and Why It Matters
Keeperz Suites is in Gelugor, a less-talked-about area compared to popular spots like George Town, Gurney Drive, or Tanjung Tokong. Gelugor is considered a practical and central area of Penang Island, especially for buyers who value connectivity over lifestyle branding. Below is a location map of the waterfront Gelugor area for easier visualization.
Here are key reasons why the location of Keeperz Suites is a key winner:
- Central but Often Overlooked Location
Keeperz Suites is located in Gelugor, an area that is less talked about compared to places like George Town or Tanjung Tokong, but has long been regarded as a practical and central part of Penang Island. - Strong Connectivity Across Penang
Gelugor sits between George Town and the Penang Bridge, making daily travel to the mainland, Bayan Lepas, and the city centre relatively straightforward. - Practical for Daily Living and Commuting
This central location is ideal for buyers who commute around the island or frequently travel to the mainland, as accessibility is more important than lifestyle branding. - Waterfront Location with Long-Term Considerations
The project’s waterfront site adds long-term appeal due to limited coastal land availability on Penang Island, especially for new freehold developments. - Surrounded by Established Neighbourhoods
Gelugor is surrounded by mature residential areas, schools, and established commercial amenities, creating a more complete urban environment from the early years of occupancy. - Vicinity of New Neighbourhoods, Amenities & Attractions
Keeperz Suites is a stone’s throw away from the Penang Waterfront Convention Centre (PWCC), the shopping mall (called The Waterfront Shoppes) and its corresponding waterfront promenade; and of course the latest iconic attraction, the Lin Xiang Xiong Art Gallery.
Who Keeperz Suites is Designed For
- Investors Targeting Short-term Rental
Keeperz Suites is well suited to buyers who are looking to invest in short-term rental strategies such as Airbnb. The project is positioned with rental flexibility in mind, incorporating features and support structures that cater to short-stay operations, including the provision for a hospitality management arrangement to streamline day-to-day management. - Buyers Seeking Entry-Level Seafront Property
For buyers who want a freehold seafront address without committing to a large unit size, Keeperz Suites offers a relatively accessible entry point into Penang’s waterfront segment. The smaller built-ups help keep total purchase prices lower compared to larger luxury projects, while still offering sea-facing potential on selected stacks. - Young Professionals Preferring Compact City Living
Young professionals who prioritise convenience, lifestyle facilities and manageable space may find Keeperz Suites suitable. The studio and dual-key layouts cater to individuals or couples, while the co-working space, sky gym and pool facilities support a modern, urban living experience close to George Town and major connectivity routes. - Foreign Investors
Selected Type B units above the required minimum threshold are eligible for foreign purchase, making Keeperz Suites an option for overseas buyers seeking a Penang foothold. The freehold tenure and waterfront positioning add long-term appeal, although additional levies and state consent fees should be factored into the total acquisition cost. For more information on purchasing this property as a foreigner, drop an enquiry below and we will provide you with the necessary information.
In conclusion, this project is likely suited for those who:
- Prefer freehold properties on Penang Island
- Value waterfront positioning with practical layouts
- Planning to invest in short-term rental apartment units
- Prioritize accessibility and daily convenience
Floorplan and Layout
Below is the floor plan of Keeperz Suites which shows you the orientation of each unit and its exact location in the building block. On a typical floor plate, there are 21 units serviced by 3 passenger lifts and 1 service lift (per tower).
Our thoughts: The studio unit sized as 484 sq ft can be partitioned to have a bedroom and a study. With the right partitioning, the bath and toilet is not confined to the bedroom, hence makes it convenient for those with visitors.
Our thoughts: Slightly larger than Type A, Type B1 is 581 sq ft in size with potential to be a dual key unit with the right partitioning and restructuring. It has two bathrooms which are mirror image of each other.
