They are trying very hard at that...............just wait for the announcement of an "Integrated resort with duty free shopping centre............plus a Casino"
Otherwise, this development will never make it.

It is rather dangerous to be seen brandishing your wealth in JB. The Chinese developer does not understand that.

 

[enjoylife77]

The Chinese understood well and is applying the art mastered over the century.

It is good to see more upmarket retail in JB. On the other hand, shoppers will have to be cautious of being trailed when they step out of the shops. Market forces will decide whether the high-end retail can sustain in JB.

FC is a 20 year project.

FC is a 20 year project.

The developer has sank so much money here already.
They are a listed company and is answerable to all the share holders and they need to make their books look good.
They owns the islands and they can develop the island at any pace they want but ultimately, they will want to recover their money as quickly as possible.
As you can see, the island were just reclaimed last year and they cannot wait for natural settlement which takes at least 15 to 20 years but is rushing to build over it

Land cost RM$4.5 B. One small 850sf apartment cost RM1,300,000. Phase 1 almost sold out. Future looks bright for Country Garden shareholders.

Alarm bells should ring on the safety of such a project, cracked grounds and sinking properties would be a key feature.

Yes only RM 500k in fact.

Agree.. I saw that the main building has split with the external ground level..
Exposing about 10 cm of the base structural, the last time I was there..
If this is not the ground settling then I dunno what is.. But perhaps they are using the sea bed as the foundation.. So that might help.

If it was low rise sprawling island resort development, I'd probably booked and enjoy future retirement on these islands looking at fair syts by the man made beaches... but nooooo... you're talking about building 30-40-50stys high rise condos, packed into a small area, on "land" that will be less than say 5 years old when they complete the first phases?

If this is not a big red flag concern, I don't know what else is. Maybe the technology by the Chinese is really really so advanced that these are sup sup sui for them but to me, I prefer my terra firma to be actual solid, God created land ... and the great irony is, there are plenty of this in Johor!

Next 10 years will be pretty interesting!

You can take reference from CG Danga Bay to get an idea:

Can see how densely packed the residential units are. I wonder if there will be many people staying there when it is completed....on the reclaimed land.

 

[Investor888]

I was speeding down Krangi Dam when I saw the gigantic development of Country Gardens at Danga Bay opp Singapore. Really looked so packed like Sardines. But I heard the amenties are above average

Some owners are not happy with the interior fittings. I was also told by indirect internal sources the foundation on which it is built is questionable. But I won't comment further as I didn't hear it directly myself.

I'd already warned about the high density of this development, the closeness between apartment blocks way before the piling works when it was first launched (see my previous posts).
Not only that, the development is actually built on the side of an extremely filthy river mouth instead of along the Straits as claimed, go goggle the map of JB.
But the apartment blocks are still under construction and not accessible yet, how would these owners "not happy with interior fittings"???

That's what happens when the authorities never put in enough diligent effort to think about the layout and planning. I think they don't bother. Just sell the land, as long as they get the money, the Chinese developer can do whatever they want. The closeness of the condos are not only too tight, they don't look nice when seen from afar.

I am just guessing there will be many vacant units when the whole project is completed.

I think they still have a showflat or something like that. So now and then, some of the owners went back to take a look. The last I heard there are some ugly exposed piping installed outside the wall.

无论国内国外，无论背景如何，“名校情结”都普遍存在。

肯尼迪家族喜欢哈佛，布什家族青睐耶鲁，都证明进入名校不仅是身份、地位的象征，名校背景的最大价值还体现在个人的财富创造力上。

据美国权威网站Wealth-X的统计数据，哈佛大学毕业生中有近3000人的资产净值在3000万美元以上，其总资产净值高达6220亿美元；排名第二的是宾夕法尼亚大学，有1500人其总资产净值为2420亿美元；斯坦福大学排名第三，有近1200人总资产净值为1710亿美元。

那么，进入世界名校有多难？美国教育协会最新报告显示，中国在美留学生近年来同比增长20%-30%，但美国名校录取率却相对稳定，近三年哈佛大学的录取率平均为6.2%，斯坦福大学为7.1%。世界名校申请竞争愈演愈烈。

6月19日，碧桂园森林城市项目与美国名校沙特克圣玛丽学校签约仪式圆满礼成，将打造幼儿园到高中全龄国际教育，并于2018年8月开学。对于深信“学而优则通达天下”的中国人而言，这无疑是一个不可多得的捷径。

作为中国“教育地产”缔造者，碧桂园对于“合作伙伴”的甄别历来严谨。那么，美国沙特克圣玛丽学校到底有何来头？

小班教学：精英教育典范


记者从教育机构了解到，作为美国中西部地区最古老的大学预科学校之一，美国沙特克圣玛丽学校建立于1858年，其学生来自美国34个州以及24个不同国家。

虽然建校历史长达158年，但该校始终采用精英化教育模式，崇尚小班制教学，师生比例则按照1：9配备，即一名教师只分到9名学生，远远小于中国高中的师生比。

也就是说，孩子在这样的班级环境中容易得到更多的关注，拥有更具针对性的培养。

“我们每个学生都必须参与课堂讨论中，老师不会忽略任何一个人。”2016年届毕业生王秋阳表示，“在课堂表述和辩论时，没有标准的对错，每个人都可以各抒己见，跟人辩论，换位思考，只有参与其中才能更好的发展批判性、思考性。”

根据沙特克圣玛丽学校主席NicholasStoneman介绍，森林城市学校将推行小班授课，注重个体发展。尤其是打造适合不同年龄段的学习空间，各年级设有创作中心、表演艺术中心等。
