The Retreat Bukit Mertajam | Freehold Condo, 5 Units a Floor
The Retreat Condominium is a single freehold tower in Taman Seri Bukit Indah, Bukit Mertajam, finished by Techware in April 2022. It has 110 homes, all with three bedrooms, spread five to a floor between levels 5 and 26.
Is a unit here worth buying? The positives are low density, two parking bays per home, a full podium of facilities and a building you can inspect today. The negatives are that no layout goes beyond three bedrooms, the handover is bare, and the largest units come with a tandem bay.

Why Choose The Retreat Bukit Mertajam?
- Low density — only five homes share each corridor, with two lifts for the whole tower.
- No construction risk — the tower was finished in April 2022, and the developer opens show units as well as unrenovated ones for viewing.
- Parking for two cars — every unit has two bays; Types A and C park side by side.
- Podium facilities — a pool, wading pool, gym, community hall, playground, barbecue corner and reflexology path on level 3A.
- Freehold — residential freehold land, with 10-foot ceilings inside the units.
Where The Retreat Bukit Mertajam Falls Short
- Three bedrooms is the ceiling — the largest, 1,475 sq ft corner layout still has three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
- Bare units — apart from the air-conditioning holes, fittings, cabinets and air-conditioners are the buyer's job.
- Tandem bay on Type B — the corner units pair a single bay with a tandem one.
- Car-dependent — there is no rail service, and shops and schools are a drive across town.
Who The Retreat Bukit Mertajam Suits
Couples and small families who want a finished, quiet building in Bukit Mertajam, and parents buying a home near the town's schools. It suits owner-occupiers more than buyers hoping for a fourth bedroom, or anyone who wants a renovated unit ready to move into.
Where the Build Stands
The building is complete: Techware finished it in April 2022, and the developer's January 2026 summary lists remaining units for sale. Viewings must be booked a day ahead; weekend slots need notice by Friday afternoon, and keys are collected from the management office during working hours.

In a Type A unit, the entrance foyer opens onto the dry kitchen and dining area, with the wet kitchen and yard behind. The living room leads to the balcony.
