The flagship Penang Sentral development project was modelled around the success of Kuala Lumpur Sentral by the Malaysian Resources Corporation Berhad (MRCB).

Opened for operation on 22 November 2019, Penang Sentral is an integrated transportation hub in Butterworth, connecting buses, taxis, ferries and trains in a transit building equipped with shopping malls, hotels, offices and serviced apartments.

With an estimated Gross Development Value (GDV) of RM2.6 billion, Penang Sentral is expected to gradually grow into a central business district, positively contributing to the state’s socioeconomic infrastructure improvement and modern continuity-based transportation system.

NCIA has facilitated the land matters for the development of Penang Sentral, considered one of Pulau Pinang’s high impact projects.
