Do not forget Double Tree by Hilton coming in 2016.

The 30-story DoubleTree by Hilton, Johor Bahru features 350 guest rooms and 15 service apartment units, and will have an all-day dining restaurant, a specialty restaurant, a deli café, a lounge and two bars. The hotel will also offer a business center, a fitness center, an outdoor pool, a 400-square meter ballroom, three meeting rooms and car parking facilities.

Situated just across JB Sentral Train Station and the Immigration Checkpoint, DoubleTree by Hilton, Johor Bahru sits within the CBD of Johor Bahru, where numerous multi-national and domestic companies are located. The Johor Bahru International Convention Center and various municipal bureaus are within a kilometer away. Guests will also enjoy convenient access to attractions including Sultan Ibrahim Building, Chinese temples and Little India. The Senai International Airport is located 25 kilometers north of the hotel, which can also be easily accessed via Jalan Tun Abdul Razak or Jalan Abdul Rahman Andak.

Johor Bahru is the capital city of the State of Johor and located on the southern tip of Malaysia. The second largest urban area in Malaysia after Kuala Lumpur, it is Southern Malaysia's main industrial and commercial hub and home to major industries such as electronics, petrochemical refining and shipping. Being close to Singapore, Johor Bahru welcomes 49.9 percent of Malaysia's 22.5 million foreign tourists via the Singapore causeway links and presents an economically viable alternative as a wedding/ MICE destination.

"We believe that the DoubleTree by Hilton, Johor Bahru will benefit from the ideal business combination of Hilton Worldwide's global legacy of hospitality with our strong local market knowledge. The hotel will form part of a mixed-used development comprising an office tower, car park, podium and a hotel tower with guest rooms located between levels 14 and 30 and the lobby located on the first floor of the podium. Given the hotel's strategic location, we are confident that it will set a new benchmark for quality hospitality experiences in Johor Bahru," said Tay Tian Liang, Director, Daiman Landmark Hotel Sdn Bhd. Daiman Landmark Hotel Sdn Bhd is wholly owned by Daiman Development Berhad, a company listed on the Main Board of Bursa Malaysia.

Would preferred Nusajaya near legoland less traffic and crowd, more space

 

[OracleMasia]

We have all different requirements of living.

Some prefer noisy, some prefer quiet.

One patterns I observed. People always want to crowd/stay in a prime location(for business/entertainment) within that country. For e.g Mattanhan in New York, Orchid Road/Marina Bay in Singapore, CBD in Beijing/Shanghai, the list go on. If you can spot that early, you can make a lot of money as these places will fetch the highest prices.

For JB, I will go for JBCBD/Tanjung Puteri areas where re-development is promising/likely with MRT.

Areas close to Second link is quite good also well like landed in Leisure Farm, East Ledang but it is pricey/overvalued at the moment.

Depend on your requirement. There are no right or wrong.

But some prefer crowded. Traffic jam area.

Some prefer to live in the middle of no where.

-Feb-2013: Nanyang Siang Pau reported that both Malaysia and Singapore governments are expected to reach consensus on Malaysia-Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link between Johor Bahru and Woodlands after the completion of the feasibility study during the bilateral meetings set to take place in Feb 18-19.

In May 2012, a consortium leads by Aecom Technology Corp was awarded a US$42 million (RM131.88 million) contract to conduct an architectural and engineering study for the proposed Malaysia-Singapore rapid transit system (RTS) link.

The contract was awarded by the Malaysia’s Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD) and Singapore’s Land Transport Authority.

The architectural and engineering consultancy study tender went to the consortium of AECOM Singapore, AECOM Perunding and SA Architects.

The study will be done in two phases.

In Phase 1, which is expected to be completed by end-2012, the consultant will look into technical parameters and propose options for the Link.

In Phase 2, the Malaysia-Singapore Joint Ministerial Committee (JMC) for Iskandar Malaysia will decide on the option that will be studied further.

The terminating stations of the RTS link, which is targeted to be in operation by 2019, will be in the vicinity of JB Sentral, Johor Bahru and in the vicinity of Republic Polytechnic, Singapore. The RTS link is planned to integrate with Singapore’s Thomson Line at its northernmost terminal station, i.e. Woodlands North Station. Thomson Line is set to cater for 400,000 commuters daily.

I wonder how far will the RTS from GIC's City Square?

I will try to locate RTS as close to City Square as possible to have win-win situation.

1) There were a lot of talks that it will be at vantage bay. If that happens, for sure there will be link stations to Persada convention or CS vicinity.

2) The Government of Singapore Investment Corporation owns 70% of City Squares shares, which they bought in June 2009. The remaining shares are divided between the Johor Bahru City Council and MBJBT. With the GIC vested interest, think they will make sure it's right next to CS!

With Capitaland now in Zone A, I dun see why RTS cannot materialise.

 

[OracleMasia]

RTS and High Speed Rail both agreed today. Another boost to JB and KL property market.

Got RTS map?

 

[OracleMasia]

Got RTS map?

Nothing published regaring to location.

My guess is JB High Speed Rail Station is at Senai Airport. From there, RTS to Tanjung Puteri and then to Woodland MRT. Another RTS to Nusajaya/ZOne B and link to Tuas.

The High Speed Station Stop at Spore might be at Changi Airport. This will link up the air and rail both at Iskandar and Singapore to comment itself as a transport hub.

In this way, north, west and east of Spore is all linked up with Iskandar. Make sense?

My guess is the KL HSR stop is at KL Sentral, integrating with their MRT system.

The slower they launched be an advantage to buyers whom already booked a unit.

Let other launch go first. Like Sky88 tower 3.

If Sky88 sold at high price successfully, the greedy developer of Matex will keep their price high too.
