New developments to share

location better than lenang heights , my opinion only.
yeah.. when ever buy new house, its always "new high". especially branded developer. i think for landed housing jb no way but up as the preferred locations all get built up...

I got challenged by a few forumers when I said landed shd continue to go up too :*: Probably they r marketing condos n I spoilt their market. Recent newspaper n online media, plus my forums n ground survey pointed out tt landed is e way to go in Malaysia. Watch out for e improvements at first link, the smoother traffic with New counters will bring a big boost in wealth in zone A n Tebrau area.

i agree with you, but maybe not sooo enthusiastic like you. to me, landed is a safer buy esp at places like tebrau, skudai, BI , perling as there is local demand. those new condo in jb too ex, the price is mont kiara price but the design, environment etc is definitely not MK standard. but this is all my opinion only. anyway, 'a rising tide...' etc etc.
what kind of 'ground survey'?

Ecoworld's Datuk Chang & Tan Sri Liew know JB v well mah.....probably v v soon.....haha

maybe after eco spring / summer, cos those are modeled after english houses (ie classical look).
although ew is 'competition' to my future taman, but i think the whole area up north will be very nicely designed and masterplanned.
270 acre SEC
600+ acre eco spring / summer.
i only hope they don't flood the market all at one go.

For Zone A/Tebrau, the catalytic projects are RTS, Ikea Tebrau, Southkey in descending order imho.....Of course, the improvement in JB road works & first link expansion will be a welcome boost too.

I also have a hunch that something is coming up at Old Woodlands Food Centre (PAP govt is going to SERS the few blocks there). It will greatly benefit Zone A as well. Probably the PAP will announce in 2016? Haha

Ecoworld will launch a few projects quickly, that's for sure as bank interest is running. Hopefully, after the cash starts to come in, they can then take it easy and pace out the remaining new launches.

There's Vantage Bay too :)

Yes I forgot abt Vantage Bay. Peter Lim doesn't really have experience in retail mall management, so I am not sure if it will be a roaring success, unlike Ikea Tebrau & Southkey mid-valley. As an eg, the retail environment in SMRT station/exchanges sucks. But if it takes off well, it will certainly be another gd shopping destination.

Peter Lim also do not have xperience in running a football team...that was probably why he did not get to buy Valencia..
But imo..he is a very good businessman
 
Wah this thread quiet for so long... so here's some news to perk it up ;)

The Star 1/3/14
PETALING JAYA: The*Greenland Group, one of China’s biggest state-owned companies, is planning to invest RM3bil in an integrated real estate development project in Danga Bay in Johor.

In a statement yesterday, it said the company chairman,*Zhang Yuliang, led a six-member high-powered delegation from its headquarters in Shanghai to finalise a major land deal with Iskandar Waterfront Holdings Sdn Bhd (IWH) for the development.

It said Greenland, which is reportedly keen to acquire around 60ha land in IWH, was expected to formalise the land deal soon.

The high-profile China developer has been on a buying spree in recent years, acquiring big real-estate projects in New York, Los Angeles, Sydney, London and South Korea.

Greenland was ranked 359 in the Fortune Global 500 company survey last year.

“Greenland’s forte is in mixed commercial development, including high-end hotels and residential towers.

“We expect them to bring their expertise and market knowledge to help build world-class waterfront properties in Danga Bay,” said IWH executive director*Lim Chen Herng. He said the premier waterfront site had drawn strong interests from major property players from around the world, several of whom had already launched landmark projects here.

“To date 16 local and foreign investors have joined hands with IWH to develop properties with a cumulative gross development value of RM125bil,” said managing director of IWH Tan Sri Lim Kang*Hoo.

They include Temasek/CapitaLand,*Tune Hotel, Tropicana Corp Bhd,*Brunsfield Group, Nam Cheong,*Skyfront Holdings,Azea Properties*and*Centurian Properties

It is designed to boost Malaysia's status as a regional and international film production hub, with a comprehensive range of film and TV studios, post production services and other sophisticated facilities."Any film company using Pinewood studio for production can now enjoy a host of special tax and other incentives," a source close to the matter told theSun, adding that this included full exemption from National Film Development Corporation (Finas) controls.VBVantage Bay, a RM10 billion integrated development here, is a joint venture between the Johor royal family and Singaporean businessman Peter Lim. The centrepiece of the project is a medical hub to be operated by Thomson Medical Centre. Spanning 10ha, the waterfront project is a gated city with its own medical campus, residential apartments, hotels, convention centres, shopping malls and commercial offices.IRDA believes the creation of the three new nodes will further accelerate and spearhead Iskandar Malaysia into the next level to become an international metropolis by 2025.

I heard a different version today - Malaysians cannot sell to foreigners in secondary market. This was from an agent so not sure how reliable.
 
Yes, thought the new ruling was foreigners cannot buy resale from locals...

Foreigners cannot buy from locals.
Locals cannot sell to foreigners.
Both meant the same thing.

Like I already say; this rule is 100% good for foreigners; because as a foreigner, I can sell my properties to both locals and foreigners.

Locals only can sell to local. The Malaysians are screwed.

That is how stupid this rule is, but I simply love it as a foreigner.
