One Imperial offers an attractive package of resort-living in a vacation backdrop, for a rather fair price of RM380. With the recent rise of property prices in Penang, the launch price is relatively low considering the amount of facilities available. However, although there are seven to eight units per floor; there are actually 768 units in the five blocks, which translates to a rather high people density. It remains to be seen whether there will be overcrowding in the usage of the facilities.
