TWO MAJOR LANDMARKS have sprouted up on Penang Island in the last quarter of 2025—the Penang Waterfront Convention Centre (PWCC) and the Lin Xiang Xiong Art Gallery. Surrounding them are various housing schemes and commercial spaces, which will eventually house international hotels, a shopping mall and retail chains— all developed by IJM Land Berhad, the same builder who constructed the Tun Dr. Lim Chong Eu Expressway.
PWCC, measuring 10,433ft² contains an exhibition hall and conference rooms with a waterfront view of the Penang channel, bridge and Seberang Perai on the mainland. It seats up to 10,000 visitors with 10 function rooms and a parking bay for 2,900 vehicles.
