New developments to share

If it is a 3rd bridge it will likely link Changi to Malaysia’s east coast.
Then maybe there will be opportunities again for the risk takers to buy cheap land.

It will be great also if a new bridge replaces the old woodland causeway to address the the traffic needs there.

Good point, Desaru anyone?
Likely not for the old causeway, if one day that really happens, likely that Johor property will be priced pretty differently from what is currently the norm

S'pore firm makes landfall in Medini Iskandar

SINGAPORE: Link (THM) Holdings Pte Ltd, a privately owned property development group renowned for its boutique projects here, on Tuesday formalised an agreement to purchase a 5.9ha plot from Global Capital & Development, the concession holder of Medini Iskandar.

Medini Iskandar's lead shareholders include Iskandar Investment Bhd and Mubadala, an Abu Dhabi Government investment company.

Link (THM) will turn the land into a mixed properties development that is expected to be completed in three phases over five years, the company said in a statement.

Known as Media Village @ Medini Iskandar, the gross development value of the project is in excess of S$1 billion (RM2.5 billion), which is in the form of progressive payments of the land price.

This marks the first privately-owned Singapore property company to solely commit to a massive property development project in Medini Iskandar.

The development site has been earmarked for a media village cluster designed to support Pinewood Studio, a US$150 million (RM465 million) film and television production facility that is projected to create more than 3,000 jobs.

Once completed in 2018, there will be more than 2,000 small office-home office (SOHO) and business suites with 1.2 million sq ft of net saleable area, while the commercial properties consisting of mainly food and beverage outlets will take up 1.1 million sq ft of net lettable area.

For the residential component, Link (THM) intends to build seven 25- to 35-storey tower blocks.

Media Village @ Medini Iskandar is 17km, or a 10-minute, drive from Singapore's Tuas Checkpoint.

Facing the entrance of Media Village @ Medini Iskandar is film-making firm Pinewood Studios.

Legoland, Hello Kitty and Wellness Hub by Singapore Temasek and EduCity are minutes away from Media Village @ Medini Iskandar.

Notable future developments at the vicinity of Media Village @ Medini Iskandar are a financial district and a premium shopping belt, dubbed the "Orchard Road of Singapore".

Founder and group chief executive officer of Link (THM), Kenny Tan said: "We are excited to be involved in one of the largest and most ambitious development projects in Southeast Asia.

"Media Village @ Medini Iskandar indirectly extends our presence into the region as we expect the development concept for the mixed properties to attract buyers and investors from the region and beyond."

Commenting on Link (THM)'s foray into Medini Iskandar, Datuk Syed Mohamed Ibrahim, president and chief executive officer of Iskandar Investment Bhd (IIB), said: "As the strategic developer of catalytic projects in Iskandar Malaysia, IIB is pleased to have Link (THM) from Singapore investing and developing Asia's next destination hub right in the heart of Medini - Media Village @ Medini Iskandar.

Located next to Pinewood Studios, the new international production facility in Asia, Media Village @ Medini Iskandar is expected play a critical role in defining Asia's new creative arts production hub.

"Besides providing the ecosystem platform for Asia's creative industries, Media Village @ Medini Iskandar also provides a truly unique experience in Asia through its innovative design and content inventory," he added. Bernama

Sorry for the double post. Thought this might be more relevant here:

If you zoom into the bottom picture, notice that there is an existing development just south of Sunway land, across the river near the mouth.

UEM Land to launch affordable homes scheme

Feb 7, 2013 - PropertyGuru.com.my

By Farah Wahida:

Property developer UEM Land Holdings Bhd will build around 1,000 homes on a 32.37ha site in Jalan Ulu Choh-Lima Kedai as part of its affordable housing scheme for eligible first-time homeowners this year, according to the company’s Senior General Manager Mohd Nadzari Bachek.

“We are already in the final stage of planning the project including the pricing and the floor built-up area of each unit.”

To be located near the Iskandar Malaysia Public Housing project, the project will include single- or double-storey terrace houses, depending on the state government’s approval, said Mohd Nadzari.

“We are looking at selling the houses at RM150,000 each but the final price will also take into account other factors such as building material and labour costs.”

Meanwhile, UEM Land also wants to lure in more Chinese investors into Nusajaya, as they eye foreign countries to diversify their portfolio, revealed Mohd Nadzari.

He noted that these investors and property developers spend generously when investing abroad.

“We still have 3,237.48ha land for development in Nusajaya, including 1,821.08ha in Gerbang Nusajaya, which is suitable for big-scale property projects,” he added.

Nice concept though if malls and amenities are nearby - unfortunately not. Maintenance might be a killer.

I just read a book by Eric Cheng " Get rich through property investment in Asia".

I recommended it for beginneers who want to invest in property in Asia.

It will be great also if a new bridge replaces the old woodland causeway to address the the traffic needs there.

I think I would fancy a third bridge linking Changi and Desaru. I think it is also logical for Johor if it seriously want to develop its east coast to balance the development around JB's central and west. JB central already has the benefit of woodland while JB west second link. The beaches and shores facing south China sea seems more appealing to me but one got to put up with the 4-5 months monsoon yearly.
