If you get screwed by Royalty, you can only keep quiet and suffer internally... Or cry to heaven.

With such Royal involvement, I'm pretty sure this will get built

In terms of height, it's gonna be taller than even Setia Sky's Altus tower by as much as 30m+ although both are ~70 storeys. Given that the JB skyline has not seen any iconic change over the decades, i hope the 2 towers of Astaka could do to JB in some way what petronas' twin towers did to KL in terms of giving the city a whole new image, if skyline views can indeed make a difference.

Looking forward to this development transforming the JB skyline in the coming years.

I notice however that the private underground road link to the CIQ is no longer mentioned as part of the project's amenities - has it been dropped?

Lets all huat together!

I bought a low floor stack 3 facing permas in tower B due to my limited budget. Hopefully all goes well and wants to rent it out so I can get passive income.

This project once completed and cash out, will be hard to buy back due to $$$$, unless market crash lol

The tunnel wont come up until maybe 2018-2020, when the rest of the development comes up. They gonna use it mostly to cater for phase 2 users.

With the MRT so far away, the only selling point now likely gonna be the CIQ tunnel.

 

[shctaw]

From what I understand; the tunnel is not direct from custom to Astaka. It will be build near a Petrol Station near CIQ.
