RM 58 for RETURN is in fact bloody cheap. S$400+ for daily 20 work day and I am sure this is good news for those Medini/PH residents in the future who don't want to drive. High toll and petrol and ERP is easily $1000/mth already
Yes it is reasonable, about the cost of some of my colleagues pay for a taxi to work in Singapore. And you have to think there would be some kind of monthly pass or frequent user discount available as well. Now all we need is Singapore to approve a fast ferry. If they could manage a 45 minutes trip to Harbour Front, and then for me it is up the purple line to my office, this could be as short a commute as other make within Singapore on the bus. 45 minutes was the estimated time to Harbour Front for a fast ferry 3 years ago, but at this time it is not allowed in the straights.

I suppose like most transport operators, Season Pass will be offered to regular travellers. We also have a S$120/month season pass for regular MRT and bus users. $120/mth for unlimited rides. Imagine is PH rolls out a S$200 unlimited rides, PH or Meidini residents will be 100% safe from the capricious policy shift by either side of the Govt.

I wonder how good is the marina view given that its blocked by the most premium condo of the entire Puteri Harbour 5-10 years from now.. and how good is the sea view given that its facing Danga Bay, "The GOLD COAST of Asia".

But if RM 900psf for a super high tall marina view I believe it will be a good buy. Don't think there are any bones left now after all the VVVIPs, VVIPS, VIPs have taken their lunch.

These luxury seafront condos are selling at RM800++ to RM1000 psf and above.

Do buyers buy it as investment or for own stay?

If own stay is ok, if to rent out, wouldn't it be very tough as these condos have to compete with mid-range condos with psf 400++ - psf 500++ ?

Who will be the tenants for 1000 psf condos? Rich expats? If rich expats, they may as well buy the condo instead of leasing it.

What are your thoughts.

how will this affect the other development in the area.
Kwok group is dampening the market or maybe it's more realistic.?
Think Teega only selling at 700+ psf right?

Puteri cove is selling at 1400psf right?

I think it's good buy if it's ranging at RM840psf++

I think the Kuok is trying to put a realistic price with the current market sentiment. Basically it is a good buy....

It is more realistic if the 2nd or 3rd floors no view units are going for RM 900psf cos I believe Puteri Cove and other ulu units nearby are selling @ RM 1000 estimated psf

Units at Southern Marina have good N=-S facing. Some teega units will be blocked by Southern Marina project. Puteri Cove will still be a distance from Southern Marina. Starting price of 840psf without marina view and low floor is reasonable. We should see what is the top end price wtih good view and marina facing. RM1500?

I would say it is "cheap" if the highest floor Marina facing are priced @ RM 1200-RM 1300psf. Anything above RM 1400psf and its just the market price.
But since this is a Malaysia developer, the rule is that the Datuks/corrupted businessmen will get all the best units at the bestest price while the bones will be thrown to suckers who come after them. Sorry to sound blunt/sour as I experienced this with Emerald Bay. Till today they are still calling me asking me to buy their leftover bones which has no views but overpriced

I heard the block closest to the sea already taken up by close friends and associates. At least buying one will allow you to live among the very rich.
