History
The residential complex sits at a 1.8 acre site of the former campus of Tenby School (Sri Inai School), a private school based in Penang, founded in the 1980s. This site, under the acquirement of S P Setia, a Malaysian property development firm, was redeveloped in 2011. The original campus of Tenby School was subsequently demolished later that year. Both Tower A and B topped out in 2016 while the complex was fully completed in late-2017.
