Meridin at Medini and Astaka Project in Iskandar - any good?

If you buy a condo at Permas Jaya, it would only takes 2 junctions and you are on the EDL direct to the CIQ in 8 minutes. Provided of course the traffic at Johor CIQ and Woodlands CIQ is a breeze, then it is still a queue to get into Singapore.
But then the most important difference is the neighbourhood and the crowds.
It takes only 4 min to get to Custom via direct EDL for Southkey Moasic (1st service apt in Southkey) although it is a LH project (88 years). It is less than a min away from EDL and will sit along Jalan Bakar Batu which will be expanded into a new 6 carriage-way road by 2014. Southkey is a pure 330 acres of green field land and will house the largest mall (KL's mid-valley equivalent) in Johor which is projected for completion by 2015- 1.5x the size of Vivocity, Singapore. An additional EDL exit/entrance is expected to be built to divert cars to the mall.
Commercial Taman under KL's mid-valley developer-Good Project?
Perhaps the transport limitation IS a strategy to rein in prices for now? imo, Upmarket condo (new ones) in JB city will match average condo prices in Woodland when transport between two countries become seamless in the future ( and when other good work is completed in tandem within JB city). Zone A is a gem- it is THE gateway.
Market is/ will be overheating soon- Just look at the 1000+ who failed to get Afiniti. where else will the hungry herd go to?
I do not know the art of scrying but the connections seems to suggest that (at least to me). Demand seems to outstrip supply at this junction of time (in perceived good areas).

i would like to state that these are personal opinions. Searchers tend to place higher price/value on things (that we looked at/felt emotionally connected- esp since we are vested) than observers 
. Just like buying an antique watch......haha.
Not old but I personally would like to retire early in JB. I am looking forward to the city transformation so as to enjoy the benefits of transversing between two great cities.

Ultimately it is about perception. A private tunnel that promises 60 seconds to CIQ is just different from 8 minutes on the EDL to the CIQ. Marketing gimmick? Perhaps but this difference will make the whole world of difference to the eventual buyer in the event of resale.
I think they are not looking at the jams yet because there is no real need to at the moment. As prof mentioned, something big is coming up soon. And I believe that will warrant a serious look at resolving the jams by the authorities.
Yes, indeed. We are all here to share and learn.

humbly (from a less rich person)... What!! haha...
on the other hand, looking at the size of the unit, it may be reasonable.
...rich man play
if matex goes through... we are neighbours in the same neighbourhood!, albeit my unit is much smaller.

S$400 is v high, not forgetting tt it will continue to go up. Beats e objective of a cheap retirement house.
For its features and facilities, I feel that SGD 400 is reasonable. Frankly if they really deliver what has been promised, even SGD 1,000 per month is not an issue for those who will be drawn to this project.
This play is definitely not based on the premise of a "cheap retirement house".
the future me would love to splurge like that.
the present me says "wait long long. Aim big only when you can."
I am still counting cents today :p

There is nothing wrong with your approach. In fact, before one can count dollars, he needs to know how to count cents.
Still the main diff is LH vs FH and the perception is land is abundant, why buy LH? Though I must add it is still personal preference.
Re: Meridin@Medini - Integrated development
It has been this way for most of the projects. Majority are Malaysian SPR with their strong Sing earning power. Many early buyers of earlier projects have bought at low price to flip to foreigners, just that more of them now has gotten into action.
