Green City Residence Review: Pros, Cons and Who Should Buy

Green City Residence suits buyers who want a completed home in central George Town with hotel-managed facilities, at 137 Macalister Road, from RM1,529,398. It is a weaker fit for buyers who want a self-park bay or a residential-only building, and the prices are from an August 2025 chart.

The project is by Green City Garden Development. Its 29-level block has a 100-room hotel on levels 3 to 12 and 52 residences on levels 17 to 29, four per floor, in layouts of 809 to 1,439 sq ft with two or three bedrooms.
