History

Diwali festivities at The Maritime Piazza

Built by IJM Corporation, a Malaysian property conglomerate, The Maritime formed part of the development of the IJM Promenade, which was subsequently renamed after Karpal Singh, a prominent local DAP politician who was killed in a road accident in 2014.[7][9] The completion of The Maritime, also in 2014, has also helped to elevate Karpal Singh Drive into a vibrant waterfront destination on Penang Island.[8][9]
