Nanyang Street (Chinese: 南洋街; pinyin: NányángJiē) represents a fascinating fusion of early Penang Style architecture transitioning into the Southern Eclectic Style, now revamped into modern living shophouses. Situated in the heart of Raja Uda, Butterworth, Penang, Malaysia, this area was formerly part of the George Town UNESCO World Heritage site. It offers a harmonious blend of traditional charm and contemporary convenience, crafting a dynamic commercial streetscape. The development comprises 77 units of Eclectic Style Shophouses spanning three distinct historical periods, ranging from early Penang Style to the late Qing Dynasty era.

Shophouses, also referred to as commercial units, emerged in the 19th century across various Southeast Asian nations such as Singapore, Vietnam, and Malaysia. Initially, these properties were designed as versatile spaces combining commercial storefronts at street level with residential quarters above, catering to the needs of the owners.

You might recognize the iconic Blue Eclectic Style building featured prominently in the internationally acclaimed film “Crazy Rich Asians,” which starred Tan Sri Michelle Yeoh and Henry Golding.

Nanyang Street stands as a new landmark proudly introduced by the Jayamas Property Group, addressing the diverse requirements of businesses, offices, entertainment venues, food and beverage establishments, and local amenities. It represents a promising investment opportunity poised for a prosperous future.
