Project review
The Lighthauz is a 56-storey EXSIM development at Gelugor with 732 – 1,001 sq ft layouts (2 – 3 bedroom). Its strongest point is moderate density; the main thing to weigh up is no rail station on the developer map.
This is our independent review of The Lighthauz: what works, what to weigh up, and who it suits. Every number below comes from the developer’s published material on the project page. We do not list prices — they change by floor and release, so ask us for the current figures.

The Lighthauz pros: what we like
- Moderate density. About 336 units per acre (671 units on 2.0 acres) — busier than a low-rise, calmer than the densest towers in the same area.
- Family-size built-ups. Layouts go up to 1,001 sq ft, which leaves room for a proper third bedroom, storage and a dining area.
- Height and views. The tower reaches 56 storeys, so upper floors get open views — pick the facing carefully, the outlook differs a lot by stack.
The Lighthauz cons: what to weigh up
- No rail station on the developer map. EXSIM’s published location map lists landmarks but no rail station, so test the commute by car and public transport at rush hour before you decide.
- The wait for completion. As with any new project, the keys come years after you sign. Confirm the completion date on the sales documents and keep a buffer in your plans.
Who should buy The Lighthauz?
Good fit
- Families who need three bedrooms without moving to a landed house
Look elsewhere if you are
- Buyers who do not drive and want to walk to a train station
