It's good that we have people here who help all of us differentiate the real buyers from those paid by R&F to hype it up. Cslongs shall be contained.

Perhaps, but they did mention they are targeting Singaporeans and SPRs. Also, the Chinese government are curbing corruption and have an extradition agreement with Malaysia. While the Malaysia Second Home scheme is attractive to many Chinese, they don't have a good feeling about Malaysia after...

Singapore took 30 years to double our population. Our foreign direct investments during this time total more than 768 billion SGD. In 30 years, most of us here are old enough to withdraw our minimum sum from CPF. Please let us know what is your projection for JB in catching up with Singapore's...

The above point is actually quite skewed because food scandal, exploitation of workers, bullying practices are also common in the West. Walmart, Starbucks, Kraft, Yum Foods etc have all been exposed of bad practices. The problem is we are predominantly an English speaking community with a...

I would rather say that their market research is weak. They apply what they do in China to other parts of the world. They did not realize that building entire towns is not the way to go, even if they are welcome by the monarch. Johor Bahru does not even have the population of a third tier city...

This company has not even started selling. The supply CG and RF currently put up is too much for the market to absorb. With their debt situation deteriorating, let's see how long they can hold out.

According to Straits Times, Chinese developer Sichuan Sanjia is in talks to sell their land in Iskandar. Good luck to Country Garden and R&F.

I am not surprised at all. The R&F properties got it all wrong. Why would Singaporeans want to live in Jb as if they are in Singapore? Small condo units in buildings that are so close to one another that you can literally stare into your neighbour's home. They did not do their research. If...

The worry of oversupply is definitely felt by the developers too. However, I thought the Capitaland project is already launched?

Construction through seawater adds to the cost. The coastal land soil is soft too. Foundation work is more expensive.

I hope they build an underpass from Lion Hotel :P

Wow... I hope this is true! I wonder how R&F feels now...

There is a progress update on their facebook page. The link is here. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.332558143572327.1073741825.132878243540319&type=1 I guess this is the good news.

How near is Paragon Suites from the proposed RTS station at Bukit Chagar?

The issue is that the state government has no control over the Sultan. So, they cannot plan as they wish. The sultan is smart. He is reaping a windfall from the gullible Chinese developers.

Seems like a long way away....

In other words, it is investing in JB as if one is investing in Singapore. I am not sure if that will work out well. The most popular form of housing in sprawling cities in the world, like Los Angeles and San Francisco, are not apartments but houses in suburbs... Just saying.

I understand the psf part. So, I am asking why not get bigger units or even landed property? Why pay to squeeze like you are in Singapore? I thought the resason to move is because they wanted to get away from a hectic lifestyle?

I find it fascinating when there are Singaporeans and SPRs who would be interested to buy units here that are not much bigger than those offered in Singapore... If you wanna buy in Malaysia, why not buy a bigger place? Why live in an apartment as small as Singapore in JB???

Where will you go? Do you know they are making their presence felt all over the world? Including Australia, Europe and US.
