Andaman Island is a 760-acre (3.1 km2) man-made islet off the northeastern coast of Penang Island in the Malaysian state of Penang.[1][2] Located just 760 m (2,490 ft) off the shoreline of Tanjong Pinang within the city of George Town, it is being reclaimed by local developer Eastern and Oriental Berhad as an integrated mixed-use precinct with a gross development value of RM17 billion.[3]
Phase 1 of the reclamation project was completed in 2019, paving the way for the construction of The Meg and Arica, the first residential properties on the islet.[1] As of 2023[update], the islet is connected to Tanjong Pinang via a road bridge, while a second bridge between the islet and Gurney Drive is under construction.[5]
