Tropicana Cenang marks 100 per cent take-up for final phase
The ceremony also marked the official launch of the final phase, Clarissa Serviced Suites, alongside the unveiling of its show unit.
Located on 2.13 hectares of freehold land at Pantai Cenang, the integrated, green-certified project is set for completion next year.
The first two phases, Assana and Merissa, offer 831 and 60 fully furnished serviced suites, respectively, designed for resort-style living. Assana units range from 380 to 1,310 sq ft, while Merissa features duplex layouts between 1,066 and 1,303 sq ft. Each phase is positioned for premium beachfront access and comes with concierge services.
"With such strong demand, we are rolling out our phase three, Clarissa Serviced Suites, together with a brand-new show unit. Our audience is largely savvy homebuyers, business owners, and families looking for holiday homes," said project managing director Allan Wong and managing director for marketing, sales and business development, Ixora Ang.
"Tropicana has expanded its foothold to Langkawi for more than a decade now. Langkawi is known for its duty-free status, cultural heritage, and its rich geological history dating back half a billion years, including mountains, islands, and beaches.
"We see the huge growth potential and over the years, we have engaged with various stakeholders, showing our support to the community and authority with R&R upgrade, infrastructure enhancement and charity initiatives," they added.
FEATURES AND FUTURE PLANS
At 40 storeys, Clarissa Serviced Suites comprises 806 fully furnished units and seven Beachwalk Shoppes. Units range from 536 to 1,356 sq ft, including studio to four-bedroom configurations.
Designed with a 'tropical elegance' concept, each unit features integrated kitchen and sanitary fittings, smart storage and minimalist resort-style interiors inspired by Langkawi's coastal setting.
Key amenities include a seafront infinity pool, rooftop viewing deck, concierge services and direct access to the beach. The development will be managed by T-Journey and aims for GreenRE certification and QLASSIC workmanship assessment.
Tropicana Cenang offers a number of key selling points across all three phases: a freehold title, strategic location just nine kilometres from Langkawi International Airport, premium seafront living and proximity to retail, food and leisure offerings.
It is set to be the tallest building in Langkawi and aims to serve a growing market of holidaymakers, retirees and investment buyers.
As part of its CSR programme, Tropicana has pledged RM200 for every Clarissa unit sold, targeting RM160,000 in donations over three years. Funds will support local schools, families, elderly care and medical initiatives through its Cenang CSR programme.
Tropicana also plans to continue its expansion in Langkawi with future developments including Tropicana Lagoon and Tropicana Shores, in line with its mission of building community-focused, sustainable developments.

Spear AI raises first round of funding to apply AI to submarine data
John McGunnigle, co-founder of Spear AI, stands aboard the U.S. Navy nuclear submarine USS New Hampshire, which he commanded before retiring and entering the private sector, in this undated handout image. Spear AI/Handout via REUTERS SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) -A startup founded by U.S. Navy veterans aiming to help the U.S. military use artificial intelligence to decipher data gathered by submarines has raised its first round of outside capital. Washington-based Spear AI specializes in working with what is known as passive acoustic data, which is gathered by listening devices underwater. Its long-term aim is to use AI to help submarine operators understand whether an object heard could be a rain squall, a whale, or a vessel that could be a threat, and to detect where it is and how fast it is moving. The challenge isthat most existing AI tools are trained on data such as words or images that have been painstakingly labeled and organized over years or decades by companies such as Scale AI, which recently signed a $14.8-billion deal with Meta Platforms. Data from acoustic sensors is different. Spear AI co-founders Michael Hunter, a former U.S. Navy SEAL analyst, and John McGunnigle, a former nuclear submarine commander for the U.S. Navy, are building a hardware and software platform that aims to prepare that data for AI algorithms. The company sells sensors that can be attached to buoys or vessels and a software tool to help label and sort the data gathered by the sensors to make it ready to be put into AI systems. The U.S. Navy this month awarded Spear AI a $6-million contract for its data-labeling tool. Spear AI, founded in 2021, has been self-funded and has about 40 employees. Hunter, the CEO, said it raised $2.3 million from AI-focused venture firm Cortical Ventures and private equity firm Scare the Bear. The funding will be used to double the company's headcount to support its government contracts and commercial business prospects, such as monitoring underwater pipelines and cables. Hunter said Spear AI also aims to sell consulting services, a model similar to defense tech firm Palantir. "We wanted to build the product and actually get it out the door before the contract came in to get it," Hunter told Reuters. "The only way you can do that is with private capital."

Beyond ONE acquired Virgin Mobile Latin America, a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) with clients in Mexico and Colombia, in 2023 for an undisclosed amount.

Telefonica has said it want to focus on the four core markets of Brazil, Britain, Germany and Spain, with Murtra planning to unveil a new strategy for the company in the second half of this year.
