The Marin Batu Ferringhi | Completed Corner-Unit Towers
Batu Ferringhi has no shortage of sea-view towers, but few put only four homes on a floor. This one does, across two finished 21-storey blocks on Persiaran Sungai Emas 1, and every apartment is a 3+1 bedroom home of at least 1,750 sq ft.
Below is our read on who it fits, what you trade for the view, and what to check when the unit is a finished one sold in its current state.

Why Choose The Marin Batu Ferringhi?
- Two outside walls for every home — with four units a floor, no apartment sits in the middle of a corridor.
- A view chosen by type — Type A faces the Andaman Sea and Type B the forest, so you know the outlook before the viewing.
- Room to spread out — every plan is above 1,700 sq ft, and the bigger one comes with a store room plus an extra bathroom.
- Two bays side by side — no tandem parking, 344 bays across the site.
- Nothing left to build — complete since 2018, with strata titles in place.
Where The Marin Batu Ferringhi Falls Short
- Bought as it stands — the sale basis is 'as is where is', and repairs cover only cracks, leaks and blockages, once.
- Condition varies by unit — some bare units have stood empty for years; the developer's own notes steer viewers to Levels 7 and 16.
- Half the units look inland — Type B faces the hills; sea-view buyers need a 01 or 02 unit.
- Distance from town — the Gurney Drive malls and the city hospitals are a drive along the coast road.
Who The Marin Batu Ferringhi Suits
Families moving up from a smaller island apartment, retirees and second-home buyers who want a large layout near the beach, and anyone who would rather inspect a finished unit than sign off a drawing. It suits less well if you commute daily to the Bayan Lepas side of the island, or if a long defects warranty matters to you.
Where the Build Stands
Both towers reached completion in October 2018. Tower A has been on sale for some time; Tower B only came to market in 2026, with decorated show units on Level 15 and its remaining units available bare. There is no build schedule to track: handover follows the SPA once you sign.
Location & Connectivity
The towers sit just inland of the Batu Ferringhi beach hotels. Penang National Park, Teluk Bahang and the theme parks are west along the coast; Tanjung Bungah, Gurney Drive and George Town are east.

How the House Is Laid Out
In Type A the foyer leads past the kitchen into a long living and dining room that ends at the balcony, with the master bedroom and its bathtub bathroom beyond it. Bedrooms 2 and 3 share the other wing, and the yard, store room, utility room and a fourth bathroom run along the service side. Type B turns this around: foyer and utility room at one end, a kitchen opening onto the dining area and a wrap-around balcony, and the three bedrooms grouped at the far end.
About the Developer
The project's advertising guideline asks that the developer not be named, so we stick to what a buyer of a finished unit needs: the company belongs to a Malaysian Berhad group as a wholly-owned unit, and its gallery for this project is at Gurney Walk on Gurney Drive.
Tower A viewings begin at that gallery; Tower B's show units are on site on Level 15.
