AN UPCOMING market and hawker complex, costing RM46mil, will become a new landmark in Bandar Cassia, Batu Kawan, Penang.

Featuring 82 market stalls, 32 hawker lots, 20 enclosed stalls and 86 trader lots, it will include amenities such as a multipurpose hall, surau, toilets, waste depot and recycling area,

There will also be 449 parking bays when the project, on a 3.1ha land with a built-up area of 64,908 sq ft, is completed in mid-2027.

Speaking at the ground- breaking ceremony, Penang Chief Minis­ter Chow Kon Yeow said the project was to meet the needs of residents, especially in the rapidly developing Bandar Cassia area.

Since the opening of the Sultan Abdul Halim Mu'ad­zam Shah Bridge and the development of the Batu Kawan In­­­dus­­trial Park, he said the area was now a key hub for strategic investments in the state.

"The state, through Penang Development Corporation (PDC), remains committed to ensuring balanced and inclusive development.

“This market and haw­ker complex will serve not only as a local economic centre supporting small and medium enterprises (SMEs), but also as a core component of community well-being.
