Ya. There are already jams on existing 2 links.

With so many new developments (each of a few hundred to thousand units) coming up, it is surely going to be a problem.

Our garmen encourage ppl move there but never provide the infrastructure to.

The RTS and HSR will reduce the jams ?

Unlike the RTS which may have a frequency of say every 10 mins (?), will the HSR act the same way (commuter service), to move ppl from NJ to SG. Unless there is a dedicated service from NJ, I wonder whether ppl can rely/use it as an effective way to move from point A to point B for work and back, if the capacity has been filled by ppl travelling from KL/Malacca. Prebooking required?

I don't think the HSR is intended to serve JB<->SIN travel. Like any long distance journey, pre-booking will definitely be the order of the day, and if that is the case, the operator will want to discourage JB<->SIN trips by setting a disproportionately high fare for this sector because if not, a high demand on the JB<->SIn sector could result in passengers seeking to travel the more lucrative longer trips such as the KL<->SIN sector being denied seats. It is the KL<->SIN seats that would bring the max returns commercially and operator would definitely want to optimize this given the high cost of building the infra.

But who knows...anything that helps to ease jams is welcome.

PETALING JAYA: United Malayan Land Bhd (UMLand) will be launching a residential component in its RM452 million mixed use project, Suasana, in Johor Baru at end-August.

Upon completion, Suasana will house a four-star international brand hotel, a tower consisting of serviced apartments and a retail podium. It is sited on a 1.5-acre (0.6ha) freehold commercial land and is located within a five-minute walking distance to the upcoming JB Sentral mass rapid transit (MRT) station, which will link Singapore and Johor Baru.

Group CEO Charlie Chia told The Edge Financial Daily the main selling point of Suasana is its proximity to the JB Sentral MRT station.

“From Suasana, you can walk across an overhead link into Komtar [Kompleks Tun Abdul Razak]. From there, you can head down to JB central where the station is located,” he said.

UMLand group deputy general manager of marketing and sales Kim W Neoh said it is targeting Singaporeans or Malaysians who are currently residing in Singapore. “We have already received an encouraging number of registrants for the units.”

The development is in Jalan Wong Ah Fook, located in the heart of Johor Baru central business district and is within walking distance to landmarks such as Komtar, City Square and Galleria Kotaraya, facing the Persada convention centre.

Suasana is also close to transport hubs such as Sultan Iskandar Custom Complex (CIQ), Terminal Bas Kota Raya and the JB-Singapore taxi stand.

A total of 342 serviced apartment units are up for grabs, with prices ranging from RM650,000 to RM1.3 million. This translates into an average selling price of about RM1,000 psf. There are one- to three-bedroom units with sizes ranging from 646 to 1,195 sq ft and seven premium suites and penthouses with built-ups between 829 and 2,152 sq ft.

The living rooms and bedrooms are fitted with air conditioners. The developer also provides kitchen cabinets and appliances such as hood, hob and microwave oven. The lighting, mirror and vanity cabinet will be provided in every master bathroom.

The planned facilities are located on the rooftop, with a gym, viewing deck, BBQ pit, management office and rooftop lounge.

UMLand is aggressively strengthening its position in Johor and diversifying its revenue stream via an investment portfolio, which will include a series of hotels.

At present, the group has 2,044 acres of undeveloped landbank in Johor with an estimated gross development value (GDV) of RM9.36 billion. UMLand plans to launch several projects in Johor by the second quarter of next year.

The projects will include residential and commercial properties (GDV of RM959 million) in the existing Seri Alam and Seri Austin townships, as well as niche developments (GDV of RM959 million) in Puteri Harbour (6.7 acres), a joint venture between UEM Sunrise Bhd and Medini Lakeside in Medini GDV (RM1.4 billion;13.26 acres).

Also in the pipeline are two industrial projects in Pulai Jaya and Cahaya Baru. Covering 629 acres, the Pulai Jaya project has a GDV of RM718 million and RM687 million for the 333-acre Cahaya Baru development.

Finally ...... Rm 650k for 1 br?

From my data, prices for a A2 unit on the 10th floor start from 630k before discount. Prices can even be cheaper for the 1st batch of 15th to 20th floor.

If we take the 10th floor unit as a gauge, it works out to be rm930 psf.

Hopefully the indicative 650k is for the Type A7 (646sf), which works out to be 1000psf, on the 20th floor.
Comments ppl...?

you are asusming the 646sqf selling at 650k is on 20th level upwards which is the unreleased floors? well, it could well be one at 10th floor too if UMLand decides to revise the price for all units, including ours though we have booked. Since the article states "from 650K" and "..ranges from 646sqf to ...", this could mean that the 1000psf pricing is on the lowest floor in the project (8th floor?)

Btw, the article seems to indicate the RTS is at JB sentral - am i missing something? i thought the RTS location has not been confirmed

The latest picture show the link from Susanana directly to Komtar. Very convenient. But may be a bit noisy for the lower floors.
