RECOGNISED as a ‘Total Property Solutions Partner’, PDC Setia Urus Sdn Bhd provides comprehensive property management and engineering services tailored to both commercial and residential buildings.
The company also offers event management services and facilitates space rentals for events held within PDC-owned properties.
Over the years, PDC Setia Urus has played a pivotal role in managing several high-profile projects across Penang, including iconic landmarks such as Komtar, Sia Boey Urban Archaeological Park, SP Arena, as well as facilities like Kompleks Rasa Tropika Bukit Tengah food court, Lorong Kulit Industrial shop lot, and residential high-rises like Jiran Residensi, Dua Residensi, and Krystal Idaman.
The Komtar project stands out as particularly significant, involving a comprehensive refurbishment of one of Penang’s most celebrated landmarks.
Standing tall since 1985, Komtar required a facility upgrade to meet modern standards for cost and energy efficiency, safety, and comfort.
Penang Development Corporation chief executive officer Datuk Aziz Bakar said PDC Setia Urus spearheaded the transformation, overseeing extensive updates to the building’s infrastructure, including toilets, glass panels, electrical systems, air conditioning and mechanical ventilation, lifts and escalators, security systems, fire alarms and protection systems, and advertisement spaces.
“Additionally, the building’s functionality was enhanced by transforming it into a UTC (Urban Transformation Centre) that now houses key government services under one roof, alongside the addition of Komtar Walk – a vibrant, sheltered hub with pedestrian walkways and casual dining areas,” he told Buletin Mutiara recently.
Another notable project is the Sia Boey Urban Archaeological Park, a former trading area in central George Town, revitalised into an open-air heritage park that celebrates Penang’s rich cultural tapestry.
Visitors can enjoy strolls while exploring the state’s early urban settlements and admiring the natural beauty along the meandering Prangin Canal.
“PDC Setia Urus is responsible for the space rental and maintenance of the park, applying the concept of placemaking to infuse life and vibrancy into the area.
“Collaborating with various agencies, PDC Setia Urus hosts activities such as art markets and mini-concerts, enhancing the park’s appeal to families and visitors. Additionally, PDC Setia Urus led a major clean-up of the canal and its filtration system, along with improvements to playground facilities to ensure public safety,” Aziz added.
PDC Setia Urus also manages the space rental and maintenance of SP Arena, a multi-purpose hall in Seberang Perai, launched in 2015.
This versatile facility is designed for a wide range of community and commercial events, including exhibitions, conventions, weddings, celebrations, markets, and more, providing a first-rate setting that fosters economic opportunities and lifestyle enhancements.
