Located of the eastern coastline of Penang, the venue, spanning 25,000 metre², will be a multi-purpose integrated venue featuring a 7,000 metre² exhibition hall and plenary seating options of 700, 1,200 and 4,500. The facility will also offer banqueting capacity for 4,000 people and a grand ballroom of 800 seats and there will also be a further 15 smaller meeting rooms, VIP lounges and other ancillary spaces.

The wider mixed development project has retail, dining and parking and will be connected to two on-site international standard hotels offering 745 rooms.

IJM Perennial Development expects the project to be completed by 2021.
