Bandar Sri Pinang is a residential neighbourhood within the city of George Town in the Malaysian state of Penang.
Situated within the city centre, it is bounded by the Pinang River to its north and the Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway to its west.
Comprising a mix of low-cost and luxury residential, commercial and light industrial developments, the neighbourhood was formed in 2014 through land reclamation by Malaysian conglomerate IJM Corporation.
[1][2] The highway was intended to serve as the main thoroughfare connecting the city centre and the Penang Bridge, thus alleviating traffic congestion at Jelutong.
In exchange for the expressway, JDSB was granted exclusive development rights for 368 acres (149 ha) of adjacent land, much of which would be reclaimed from the Penang Strait.
