Lovely!! so the barriers are taken down already??
great great, can't wait to drive thru the entire stretch from custom and view the scenery with smooth traffic.
I just went there yesterday to get some reno ideas for my new Straits View house that will be ready next year. There are 2 levels of exhibition - level 3 and level 1. Level 3 is more on electronics and some ID design. I prefer level 1 where there are some nice marble tables direct from the factory suppliers (which means much cheaper lor). Not excellent, but all in all not bad lah... I would visit again next year just before my Straits View Residences completion
Thanks bro Aragorn. I did not go eventually. Saw in net, there will be a 'mega' one in Nov. Will make a weekend stayover outing trip with my family. Will you be taking ID? Am thinking for my HH house to do myself but not sure.....
Hi horizonhills as someone who has many units, did you do ID or self? If latter, where did you find the contractors ?
Hi euphony, from your posts, you seem to have done yourself? what was the experience like?

Yes, the barriers are down but they are up again at night as the lights are not switched on yet!
I have gone from Danga Bay all the way to East Ledang and the main roads are ready. Very nice stretch to drive on I must say!
Went to Puteri Harbour too to have a look see and the place is nice although not much things to do yet except walk and take photos

lastresort, euphony, vincent, jasonjst,
to share my opinion on this subject.. Iskandar is a natural progression of geography and common sense for both sides for mutual gain. It is really taking off now that the politicians have settled the nonsensical fake cross-border spat. See HK & Shenzhen. After so many years Hong Kong is still resided by many locals while indeed more rich Chinese & foreigners have invested in HK property. Both sides have benefited tremendously. Also many manufacturers ('ex-made in hong kong') moved to Shenzhen, Dongguan, Guangzhou, Zhuhai etc... but residing in HK still. In the meantime HK has become even more prosperous and a key global financial centre. Singapore & Iskandar will follow this with Singapore achieving its aspiration to be high tech high R&D design manufacturing and focus on financial services - and of course some casinos for rich people playground. Iskandar does not seek to compete - thus you see the recent Iskandar repositioning as complementary economy. JB benefit from the spillover of lower-end manufacturing but also relieve population pressure on the island. I cannot imagine Singapore having the super high condos common in HK. But seeing mickey mouse condo trend, maybe it will... along with all said above positives..

aiyah wasted! I thought tonight I'll use that route as I head home to look see.
Hi Contra, may I know which precinct is your unit in? Can you share with us the price, type and size of your HH house(that's if you don't mind, no obligation)?
contra, let's hope so. when that day comes in the near future all of us who's committed to our property/businesses will be laughing at the naysayers. In the heart of Shen Zhen some of the condos are very well built and can fetch even higher prices that the HK outskirts (e.g. Yuen long/元朗 etc). The malls are just as good on my last visit yet about half priced vs. HKG. as for now I am more than contented where I am thankfully having an opportunity to buy a humble home with a good environment and neighbors. if it gets better that will be icing to an already delicious cake.
Having said that SZ have the support of the chinese government. when they put their mind to it even miracles can happen (beijing olympics). As for JB corp, the determination may not be as steadfast but the heads seems to want to wrest off JB=backwater story once and for all. Even the most negative person cannot deny that JB is generally in high gear in transformation for the past few years. The projects whether they take off or not is secondary, the roads and traffic management is already a very big leap forward!
Hi Sanur,
Thanks for the prompt response.
I've just PM you and hope to find out more about the agent.
Hopefully you could help. Cheers...
hi Investor, i was surprised to be reminded that you have not invested in HH. In my mind you are invested in EL, HH, Setia Tropika, etc... Then I recall you are the special EL guy. When I first looked in 2010, EL was very very seductive (and very much still is, can't go by EL without resisting the urge to drop by the showhouses of the houses, as opposed to the apts) but I settled for HH Hills terrace instead as is big enough for me, being wide and large and long 26x80 plus low density. The overall HH concept, experience, logic and chi is just right for me... now worth close to RM800k.... Is ready mid next year only. But got to plan ahead . . . . . thus seeking experiences of you guys who have taken ownership and doing furnishings etc already. Would really appreciate any advice and experiences in the getting-house-ready-for-live-in.
Confirm. Agent can go to KL on behalf of the applicant.
I checked a few IDs in JB... Didn't find one that gives me comfort in their commitment and work attitude. I found one in SG that is not bad.
Anyone knows a good ID in JB?
Haha yes I'm the EL guy, hoping to get a unit in The Hills and be neighbour to you and Lastresort
Thanks for sharing. What was your price in terms of psf last year? My units are not ready yet so I can't help you on the reno part.

Sellers will definitely use whichever is bigger(either land or built-up) to show the psf as it'll appear cheaper.
However, it's up to the buyer to judge whether or not the selling price is reasonable.
Let's say both examples below are based on $1000psf;
1) Someone wants to sell his unit at $4.5 mil based on built-up. The land is smaller(say 3000sf) and built-up is bigger(4500sf), then it's quite reasonable to use built-up for psf.
2) If another one wants to sell his unit at $4.5 mil based on land size. The land is much bigger(4500sf) then the built-up which is really small(say 1500sf), then it's not reasonable to use land for psf.
If you like the 2nd unit, a more reasonable price would be for example, $1000psf for his built-up of 1500sf($1.5 mil) plus $500psf for his extra land of 3000sf($1.5 mil) which equals to a total of $3 mil.

Hi
No worries hv PM u the details. Let me know if u need further info.
Hv PM u the details.
Let me guess. First, it's s resale so you need to pay stamp duty , legal, loan fees, etc.
Owner probably bought at a low price so 488k is a good profit for him already.
And I think its a bumiputra unit. If not, they will price it at 500k so that foreigners can buy.
