    [KUALA LUMPUR] When Eastern and Oriental (E&O) – one of Penang’s premier property developers known for its upscale projects – unveiled The Lume in August, it sparked a flurry of interest.

    With price tags starting at RM2.2 million (S$667,385), the luxurious condominium offers expansive layouts of at least 1,722 square feet, breathtaking sea views and an enviable location within the nearly 308-hectare Andaman Island development.

    The hefty selling price did not deter the early birds, with a quarter of the 261 units snapped up within several weeks of the launch.
