Runnymede Group has launched The Fount, a freehold residential condominium and the final residential phase of the 28-acre The Sanctuary masterplan in Batu Uban, Penang Island. The project occupies approximately 2.23 to 2.3 acres and comprises 280 units across two 20-storey residential blocks, with indicative starting prices from RM880,000.

The development is designed around a low-density hillside setting with views towards the Straits of Penang. The North Block has six units per floor while the South Block has eight units per floor, with three lifts serving the residential floors through a central lift core. Each unit is allocated two side-by-side parking bays within a four-storey naturally ventilated car park podium.

The Fount offers four main layouts ranging from three-bedroom configurations to larger four-bedroom-plus units, with sizes from 957 sq ft to 1,436 sq ft. The developer has designed the project to cater primarily to owner-occupiers and families, incorporating cascading greenery, landscaped areas and water features that take advantage of the site's natural slope.

Located close to Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah and the Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway, The Fount is approximately 600m from Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah and about 3km from the coastal expressway. Its position between the First and Second Penang Bridges provides access to both northern and southern parts of the island. Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), Queensbay Mall and the Penang Bridge are within a short drive, while Penang International Airport is approximately 10 minutes away. The developer also highlighted three upcoming stations on the proposed Mutiara LRT Line near the project.

Facilities at The Fount include a cascading infinity pool, pickleball court, gym, jogging trail, children's playground, function and meeting spaces. The project's 280-unit scale differentiates it from larger high-density condominium developments, while the freehold tenure and family-oriented layouts target buyers seeking a long-term home on Penang Island.

As of the latest developer information, The Fount remains open for registration.
