Location is key for commercial units. The 7.5% is quite fair, but the fact that the unit is 'not even hotter' means you should consider the traffic flow etc carefully before making a decision.

Normally, bumi lots have better position.

After reading about the flash flood news in sg yesterday, I am a bit concerned. Does anyone know if there any area in Johor that is more prone to flash floods?

Avoid near rivers, ponds, lakes and such. Go for near highway such as N.S. highway which the Japanese Engineers have already dug out long historical data to decide the route. One such safe location in my mind is Setia Tropika 31.362 meters above sea level (ASL).
Moreover, during flooding in low lying areas, one can still travel the highway to reach Home. This point is very important.

Yes, agree with you. It is ponding only at the road as you can see in the photo, cars going to and from their houses. You can still go Home and not stuck on the road.

This is one of the game-changer of PH and Medini side. First 3 years will not have much crowd as basically no one is staying in Medini or PH yet. I hope they substain and stay on for 3 years to be rewarded

The ferry trip seems long and expensive at S$50 per person per trip.......

Perhaps they can be sustained for the time being by the tourists from Sentosa as the new theme parks slowly open one after another.

 

[PuteriWorld]

Yeah in a way yes. I have seen so many foreign visitors thronging VivoCity and Harbourfront. I am sure this will bring more crowd to PH

Not so bad if ponding in the surrounding only. What I really afraid is the ponding inside the house, that's really gone case liao.

Try a 30-storey condo.on a hill. Chances of ponding is very slim.
