Lighthauz Phase 2
Lighthauz Phase 2 is the next EXSIM waterfront-area release in Gelugor. Its published plans show 700 sq ft with one bedroom plus a study, or 947 sq ft with two bedrooms plus a study. Compare the exact view, price and plan with the first Lighthauz tower before choosing.

- Buyer fit
- The strongest reason to shortlist Lighthauz Phase 2 is the choice of freehold waterfront-area layouts at 700 and 947 sq ft. The biggest compromise is uncertainty around the selected unit's view and full ownership cost. It suits a buyer who checks the actual stack and compares it with the first Lighthauz tower, not one buying solely from the waterfront image.
- Key consideration
- A one-bedroom-plus-study unit is not the same as a conventional two-bedroom home; the 947 sq ft plans have two dedicated bedrooms, not three.

Project overview
Is Lighthauz Phase 2 worth considering?
The strongest reason to shortlist Lighthauz Phase 2 is the choice of freehold waterfront-area layouts at 700 and 947 sq ft. The biggest compromise is uncertainty around the selected unit's view and full ownership cost. It suits a buyer who checks the actual stack and compares it with the first Lighthauz tower, not one buying solely from the waterfront image.
Lighthauz Phase 2 is the next EXSIM waterfront-area tower in Gelugor. Its published reference lists 596 homes, 700 and 947 sq ft plans and a provisional 2031 target. The RM859,000 starting figure is dated indicative guidance, not a current selected-unit offer. Compare the exact stack and costs with the first Lighthauz tower.
Space and configuration
Lighthauz Phase 2 floor plans
The 700 sq ft A1/A2 plans show one dedicated bedroom plus a study; the 947 sq ft B1/B2/C1/C2 plans show two dedicated bedrooms plus a study. The study may be useful as a workspace, but do not budget it as an extra permanent bedroom without checking the approved plan. Enlarge each drawing to compare balcony, furniture placement and bathroom access.
700 sq ft · A1 or A2
Shortlist if one bedroom plus a separate study meets your needs. A1 shows a balcony; A2 does not. Confirm the exact quotation and parking for the chosen stack.
947 sq ft · B or C
Shortlist if you need two dedicated bedrooms plus a study. B and C share a headline size, not an identical internal arrangement or facing; compare the actual plans.
Price and ownership budget
What is the Lighthauz Phase 2 price?
The existing published reference starts from RM859,000 indicative, with a quoted project range up to approximately RM1.42 million, reviewed 9 October 2026. This is not a Phase 2 launch price list or a selected-unit quotation. Ask for the current SPA price basis, type, floor, facing, parking and all recurring charges together.
Location and real journey
Where is Lighthauz Phase 2 and what can you actually see?
Lighthauz Phase 2 sits in the Gelugor waterfront corridor near Penang Bridge. That position may suit buyers who regularly travel between George Town, Gelugor and the island's southern employment areas, but test the actual route at your commuting time. A sea or bridge view depends on the selected stack, floor and future obstructions; the proposed Mutiara Line is not an operating rail connection today.
Location
- The Light City waterfront corridor
- Gelugor, Penang
Transport
- Penang Bridge
- LRT Mutiara Line — future infrastructure, not operational access
The proposed Mutiara Line must not be treated as an existing station. Confirm the actual entrance, route, parking allocation and selected-unit view in the latest approved documents.

Five questions to settle before booking Lighthauz Phase 2
Ask for one dated, written unit quotation and the selected plan. Then use these five checks to see whether the waterfront premium buys something useful for you.
02 · What view are you paying for?
Check the exact stack, floor and facing, possible future obstruction and written price difference for the view.
03 · What is the full cost?
Request the SPA price basis, parking, maintenance and sinking fund, furnishing terms and any floor or view premium together.
04 · When can you use it?
Treat 2031 as a provisional target until the selected unit's contractual handover date and approved documents are available.
05 · Own stay or letting?
Test the real commute for own stay. For investment, check actual comparable rents, house rules and whether the intended letting model is allowed; no rental return is established by the waterfront address.
Jack's review
Who should shortlist Lighthauz Phase 2—and who should compare first?
Reasons to shortlist
- The 700 and 947 sq ft plans offer two different space commitments in the Gelugor waterfront corridor.
- Balcony and non-balcony variants let buyers compare outdoor space against the actual internal arrangement.
- Freehold tenure and proximity to the Penang Bridge corridor are meaningful if the daily route fits.
Compromises and checks
- A one-bedroom-plus-study unit is not the same as a conventional two-bedroom home; the 947 sq ft plans have two dedicated bedrooms, not three.
- Waterfront context does not guarantee a sea view, and the proposed LRT is not an operating service.
- The 2031 delivery target and indicative price need written reconfirmation for the chosen unit.
For your own home
Consider the 700 sq ft plan for a couple needing a study, or 947 sq ft if two dedicated bedrooms matter. Check storage, balcony preference, parking and daily travel before paying for a view premium.
For an investment
Do not assume Phase 1's rental demand, short-stay rules or facilities transfer to Lighthauz Phase 2. Match a current unit quotation with comparable long-term rents, recurring charges and management rules before calculating yield.
Ask Jack which waterfront plan fitsPrice and practical alternatives
Lighthauz Phase 2 or the first Lighthauz tower: which fits you?
Compare Lighthauz Phase 2 with the first Lighthauz tower on permanent bedrooms, actual floor plan, facing, price basis and contractual delivery. Keeperz Suites is a smaller suite/dual-key brief; Lightwater Residences is a larger, higher-budget waterfront option.
Which waterfront option matches your priorities?
The first Lighthauz tower and Lighthauz Phase 2 are not interchangeable phases. Choose by the actual room count and written unit quotation, then test the view and completion terms.
Lighthauz Phase 2 700 sq ft
Consider it if one bedroom plus a study is enough and the selected price, parking and view justify the smaller footprint.
Lighthauz Phase 2 947 sq ft
Consider it if two dedicated bedrooms plus a study better fit your household; compare B and C plans, not only their equal built-up.
The first Lighthauz tower
Open it if you want to compare its 732 and 1,001 sq ft plans, existing release status and a different completion reference. Obtain current unit quotations on both sides.
- Lighthauz Phase 2 plan basis
- 700 sq ft: 1 bedroom + study; 947 sq ft: 2 bedrooms + study in the published drawings.
- First-tower plan basis
- 732 and 1,001 sq ft published references; do not reuse first-tower prices or facilities as Lighthauz Phase 2 terms.
A view premium, better room fit or earlier handover may change the recommendation. Compare the exact selected units, not two headline starting prices.

Buyer-fit analysis
Before shortlisting Lighthauz Phase 2
How do I estimate the monthly commitment?
Start with the selected home's price, not a different type's entry price. At an illustrative 4% annual interest over 35 years, each RM100,000 borrowed costs about RM443 per month. At 90% financing, each RM100,000 of purchase price therefore adds about RM398 to the monthly mortgage.
Add the actual maintenance, sinking fund, insurance, applicable ownership charges and repair provision. These are not included in that calculation. The rate and financing margin are assumptions, not bank terms or approval. Use the repayment calculator with your quotation.
Which layout should I compare?
Choose a named type in the published floor plans that meets your permanent bedroom requirement. Keep its size, parking and quoted price together. Compare storage, shared living space and bathroom access; a study label or larger total built-up does not establish an extra usable bedroom.
What needs written confirmation before booking?
- The exact type, floor, facing, parking, price and inclusions.
- The selected phase's contractual timing and actual handover position, rather than assuming an old target proves completion.
- Recurring charges and the approved use and management rules relevant to your household or letting plan.
What should an investor check separately?
A price and floor plan cannot establish achievable rent or operating permission. Match dated rental evidence to the same size and furnishing, allow for vacancy and running costs, and separate operating yield from cash left after financing. See the worked rental-cost example.
Lighthauz Phase 2: buyer questions
What is Lighthauz Phase 2?
Lighthauz Phase 2 is the next EXSIM waterfront-area tower in Gelugor. The site's published reference lists freehold tenure, 596 homes and 700 or 947 sq ft plans. Confirm final approved specifications in the current developer documents.
What is the starting price?
The site's published indicative reference starts from RM859,000, reviewed 9 October 2026; it is not a current unit quotation or confirmed launch price list. Request the dated SPA price for your selected type, floor and view.
What facilities are available?
Published Lighthauz Phase 2 marketing references list pools, a gym, games room and lounge spaces. Ask for the current Phase 2 facility schedule; do not assume every first-tower Lighthauz facility is included.
When is completion expected?
The current Lighthauz Phase 2 project reference gives 2031 as a provisional target. The selected unit's SPA and approved project documents determine contractual delivery.
Does Lighthauz Phase 2 have two- and three-bedroom homes?
No. The available Type A drawings label one dedicated bedroom plus a study, while Type B and C label two dedicated bedrooms plus a study. The first Lighthauz tower and some marketing summaries use different 2/3-bedroom shorthand; compare the actual room labels before booking.
Which types have a balcony?
The illustrated A1, B1 and C1 plans have a balcony; A2, B2 and C2 are non-balcony variants. Confirm the exact plan and mirrored variant with the selected unit.
Is the project picture a photograph of a finished home?
No. The hero shows the wider waterfront development in an artist impression. It is context imagery, not a completed Lighthauz Phase 2 photograph or a promise of your unit's view.
Is Lighthauz Phase 2 the same as the first Lighthauz tower?
No. This is a separate waterfront release with different plans and a provisional delivery target. The first tower's prices, facilities and unit quotations should not be treated as Phase 2 terms.
Does every Lighthauz Phase 2 unit have a sea or Penang Bridge view?
No view is guaranteed by the waterfront address or project rendering. Ask for the actual floor and stack plan, facing, possible obstruction and written price difference for your selected unit.
Is the future Penang LRT already usable from Lighthauz Phase 2?
No. The Mutiara Line is future infrastructure, not an operating rail service at the project today. Check official delivery updates and the eventual walk from the actual entrance rather than paying for an assumed current connection.
Is Lighthauz Phase 2 better for own stay or investment?
The answer depends on the selected unit. For own stay, test the room layout, parking and commute. For investment, obtain comparable rent evidence, recurring charges and management rules; neither a sea view nor a future station establishes an achievable return.
Can I use Lighthauz Phase 2 for Airbnb or other short stays?
Short-stay permission has not been established for the selected Lighthauz Phase 2 unit. Do not apply Maba Suitez's short-stay arrangement or another EXSIM project's rules here; request the approved use and management by-laws in writing.

Evidence and limitations
Sources and verification
Lighthauz Phase 2 project figures are the site's dated 9 October 2026 published marketing reference, not an official Phase 2 SPA quotation. EXSIM's official Lighthauz website describes the first tower but does not establish Lighthauz Phase 2's current package. The supplied Lighthauz review mixes first-tower information with Phase 2 preview claims. Exact unit price, approved specifications, view and handover date need written confirmation.
Evidence reviewed: . Current price, availability and contractual terms should still be reconfirmed for the selected unit.
