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

Re: Meridin@Medini - Integrated development

I agree with you totally. That make only 2 of us.

We are been out numbered by 4000 people whom disagree with us by putting in a cheque for this project.

RM 800 psf for a 99 year leasehold piece of crap. After 30 years, I hope to see who is willing to buy from them even at RM 300psf when Sunway and Puteri Harbour condos and landed houses are FREEHOLD.

Can't you see that is a herd mentality.

I'm not familiar with JB center and don't go there enough...anyone knows how the traffice around Astaka?it is really bad?

I cannot imagine staying in a nice buliding but surrounded by traffics..then I won't be able to leave the house.

Is RM 1100psf for Astaka steep given all the posh fittings and furnisihings? any advise?

Not sure if to put it over RM 3m in Malaysia ppty is wise?

Got private tunnel direct from CIQ.

Some unit I ask today as high as RM1500 on the 50th floor.

T1 stack1 30 fl around RM1350. Damn expensive. Should just hook those below 15 floor which is 30-40% cheaper.

I am vested in Ujana so got to stay and watch what is happening and get out before it becomes over hot.

These people should visit the 99 LH condo, Perdana at Gelang Patah by Mahabuilder to get an idea what they will get from Malaysian developer for 99LH condo.

whoa, these prices can buy semi-d at horizon hills or east ledang already.
is private tunnel going to be part of SPA as I imagined it is going to be built by astaka padu rather than government.

The agent told me the tunnel is build by the developer, cost them RM 70m. As this is their first residential project, they want to make a track record by giving all extras and selling at a lower price (RM1100-1500psf) than Puteri Habou areas which is going at RM 1400-1700psf on a average. .

If got private tunnel but get caught at causeway jam also no use.

Astaka show flat still not completed.

Actual site of Astaka.

 

[jamestan88]

I think it all boils down to the political will of Malaysia and Singapore. It does not take a rocket scientist to technically resolve the bottleneck at the causeway. The hurdle has always been the resistance of either (or both) side to adopt alternative replacement infrastructure for the causeway. If both sides truly want the IDR to succeed (and my personal feel is that Singapore really wants it to work for her own sake), this can be tackled quite easily.

 

[jamestan88]

My personal hunch is that the solution for the causeway bottleneck will be packaged together with the Free Access Zone (FAZ) proposed in the JBCC re-development masterplan (page 23):

thanks shining. it's a good thing that the developer add value to the project - brilliant idea. kudos to those who bought...sure will make money. If psf up rm200 psf, already make rm400k given the sheer size of each unit.

Lido Blvd initially indicated to me at RM1200 psf avg. Now I heard RM1700 psf avg.

Cannot wait; can get screwed end of the day just by waiting.

Just like Astaka; initial heard RM800 avg; now it is more like RM1300 avg after developer raise their price. I think it is a strategy to bring in Vantage and Lido Blvd at a premium price as the land cost is about 10-20 times those in Nusajaya.

Astaka; Vantage and Lido Blvd all got Royalty involvement. Hope this 3 become a Triangle safety zone of JB which include the Palace and Police Station all in this area.
