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

[shctaw]

Apparently they sold some units above 50 floor at RM3.4m. (2199 sq ft = RM1546 psf)

Now I start to question whether it is fair to compare Meridin with Astaka???

I guess it does make Meridin look cheap.

I doubt buyer whom can throw out RM3.4m are dumb. . . or maybe he is.

prof, e Police Station will leave or stay eventually?

Police station belong to state government. They need approval from various authority to get it sold.
Of course it can be done.

This is how they get this stadium to be converted to commercial title.

Seriously, with that amount can buy Meridin a few units and flip when time is right.
Or, as pointed out should go for landed also can.

Can buy river view Senibong Cove bungalow with RM3.4m. (launching in June 2013)

I rather get Bungalow at that price

Between Meridin and Astaka. My feel is someone might be wrong.



And then again.....



Maybe I should get dead drunk tonight and I wake up tomorrow and find out everything is just a dream.

We are not in reality man. Watch out.

That's true...but in my humble opinion, for security reasons, condos may be safer not so easy to break in especially those on the high floors.. And condos have facilities. guess end of the day, is individual preference.

If they are developed with the quality promised, I believe it will be a game changer.

You should buy big into Rowsley now. (Vantage)

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.

Anyway did anyone go into Iskandar Residences @ Medini? The 1br & 2br are fully sold, left with 3br. Pretty much like Meridin... Now D'Pristine is going to launch... looks like Astaka may be expensive but at least there's little competition that offers something close to it

Found a nice high resolution elevated photo of the area (facing south east).

nice to see, nice to buy too if got bullet..congrats prof for such a nice catch. lido boulevard announced so long already not launched yet, while this astaka, suddenly appear out of nowhere with such price tags and underground tunnel to ciq..he people behind astaka are all heavyweights who can pull all the right strings.[/QUOTE]

WENT AROUND NUSA JAYA, BT INDAH & JB CITY & COMPARED PRICES .. TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION OF LOCATION, PRICING, CLASS, VALUE, FH OR LH, AMENITIES, FITTINGS & SECURITY.

A better investment for these reasons:
1). Iconic residential development in whole of msia 310m - twr a 70 flrs & twr b 68 flrs
2). Replica of spore's marina bay financial district
3). Freehold commercial status .. Unlike others with only residential status
4). Fittings are from hans grohe, gaggenau & meile
5). Wardrobes
6). Mrt in jb in 2018. Hence, traveling to jb will be a breeze thereafter.
7). Good potential for tenants as the office & bank towers will ahve high ranking staff
