Kingfisher Series is a condominium sitting on a plot of 4.2 acres freehold land at Green Lane. It is the final project of the Green Lane Height development by Hunza Properties, a well-established property developer focusing in the northern region of Malaysia. Officially, Green Lane is called Jalan Masjid Negeri but hardly anyone knows this name. Green Lane has grown from a small road 20 years ago to triple lanes nowadays. Today, it is one of the busiest roads in Penang, connecting the south and the Georgetown. As like other similar projects, the name of Kingfisher Series is named after a bird with a name starting with K. This is how the name Kingfisher Series is selected. The nearby residential projects include Jay Series, Flamingo Series and Greenlane Heights.There are a total of 3 blocks in Kingfisher Series. The first 2 blocks have 21 stories while the third is higher with 29 stories. For all the 406 units, there is only one size of 700 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Each floor has only 6 units and is reached by 2 to 3 passenger lifts.Kingfisher Series is surrounded by cool green hills offering a picturesque scenery and clean air. Every unit can enjoy a good view of the sea, hill or city from the living room or the bedroom. Apart from the nice environment, the condo is also located in a prime residential area with good access to Bayan Baru Industrial Zones, Georgetown and Mainland. Driving from Kingfisher Series to the main road only takes at most 5 minutes. Public transport is also available. With one kilometer away, there is a bus stop. Rapid Penang Bus 11, 206 and 304 all drive through this stop.A lot of fundamental amenities are provided in the neighborhood of Kingfisher Series.

Kingfisher Series is developed by Hunza Property, which is a well-established developer having good track records from its other projects such as Marina Bay, Bandar Putra Bertam and Seri Bayu II. A good developer gives people a peace of mind to purchase the property. The Kingfisher Series condominium has been over 10 years and it is reasonable to expect considerable level of depreciation. If the property is of good quality, one can expect lower cost and lesser effort to maintain the building.Although Kingfisher Series is actually at the deep-end of Green Lane, it only requires mostly 5 minutes during rush hour to drive to the main road. Actually the Green Lane road is not really that jam until you get towards Jalan Tembaga and Jalan Besi, heading towards the Green Lane traffic lights. Kingfisher Series has good access road to Bayan Baru Industrial Zones, George Town and Mainland, plus the nearby amenities like supermarket, patrol stations, schools and hospitals. This condominium can be a good choice for those who work in the city.Being right in the city center, Kingfisher Series is a nice surprise to be surrounded by hill and greenery. A breathe of fresh comfort air can make a difference when you are home from a long day work.There is only one layout of 700 square feet being available in Kingfisher Series. Unless this is the size being searched for, otherwise no other choices are available. It is relatively more suitable for single or a couple. If size is not the concern, the three bedrooms can still be good for a small family.Each floor at Kingfisher Series has only 6 households and is served by 2-3 passenger lifts. The waiting time should not be too long. However, it is important to take note that each unit only has one car park.Being the latest project of the Green Lane Height, it is logical for Kingfisher Series to demand the highest rental and subsale prices, as compared to other blocks of the same project having similar size. If the location and neighborhood are what you consider and if budget is a concern, some other blocks of the same development area such as A, B or E can also be of choices.
