not sure, people nowaday very health conscious. I used to be a smoker, but immediately stopped once my mother diagnosis for cancer in hometown

Are you guys Malaccan?
Dataran Merdeka is not Dataran Pahlawan..
Dataran Merdeka is at Ayer Keroh, next too Zoo Melaka..

Yes you are correct. It's Dataran Pahlawan near the sea. I made the mistake as well. Thanks for correcting.

Basically, the road between St Francis Institution and Dataran Pahlawan is not reclaimed. Anything from Dataran Pahlawan itself is reclaimed. Is it possible that Melaka now has more reclaimed areas than Penang?

Entirely possible. Because it started reclaiming in the 80s towards the sea.

well said, I'm not Malaccan. I just migrated here some years ago.

haha! no wonder.. aduii..

Heard so, but not that much of hosues.

my colleague call the developer, they said 3k+ houses and 300+ shop lot, haha, dunno real or not

so many shop lot arr in melaka..but dunno who will operate it... it seems that the ratio between citizen and shoplot is 1:1

can i know is it if i buy house in Taman Tasik Utama is worth of money for investment??
Any suggestion to me?

What kind of timeline are you looking at? 10 years? 20 years? 2 years?

can the developer charge the admin fees as purchaser withdraw?

around 5 years??? How
But i see the house rental in this area quite bit low
and the price also didn't increase soo much

but, i heard that this area will have new 6 star hospital, new shopping complex, new macdonald and etc

hi guys,
Hope my little input here may give some bros an idea to ponder.

As for residential units. There is a lot popping ups in Melaka. Good for buying and stay but not as much as an investment at this given moment or even coming 5 yrs. Unless Johor kaki and KL kaki is moving in for better place and price.

For your info there is a lot of residential units still vacant. And you will be surprise of how low the rental can be.

Do you know that many places in Melaka is a heavily termite infested. Most developers did only 1 stage of termite control and it usually last about 2~3yrs from the date of soil treatment done. In actual they need to do 4 stages. By the time you move in. It was already the 2nd or 3rd yr. Corrective treatment is inevitable for coming yrs ahead for most house owners.

For investment purpose there is little chances but ...still a few spotted ones that I observed. While for commercial/retails - Melaka market is very bad. I was not long here ...but my eyes able to spot how many had closed down from time to time, even those retails in big shopping malls here got closed down too and waiting for others to move in.

Some parties may show us plan beautifully in theory but ....what about in practical?
Prime location for retails can go from RM3,500 to 6,000 rent/mnth - ground floor unit, sounds cheap? ...but will it warrant the owner good business? We also have to look into the Melaka ppl's spending habit and their purchasing power. What if I tell you that majority of them just love window shopping? So, what kind of business will thrive in Melaka? Soon you will know.

For industrial area - Krubong is one of the best choice. Some Johor kaki already moved in and shifted their HQ here. Yes, no doubt the dump site is just nearby(very close) but I don't think it really affect much since most factories or SME buildings were not open air.

I also know a few vacant factories in FTZ(Free Trade Zone) area.

If any bro here interested to know more or in the midst of finding ideal property here in Melaka. May look for me.

Just PM me will do. Cheers`

A very strategic place at MITC.
Easy access to: NS Highway, Mydin, Government places, highway to industrial areas, big Mosque, McDonald(new) is very near.

Property design was normal and nothing to shout about. Majority owned by government servants, if I'm not mistaken.

Since it is a historical city. Most road or major roads condition unable to accommodate large population.

What do you think of the latest Teo Brothers project in Alor Gajah. Beside the AMJ Highway

Big electric cable there. How bout the hatten bus stand ? Anyone invest the shop there? Newspaper written 80% sold out. Real or not

Honda will be investing an additional RM1 bil in its Melaka plant to manufacture hybrids. This is a good news for properties in Melaka. Wonder where are all the Honda expats staying?

I worked as hr trainee in honda alor gajah on year 2005. During that time, japanese expat in alir gajah is only about 5 person. There r all staying at bukit beruang height, behind jusco. Alor gajah plant basically only cover production, finance,hr and admin. And dont forget honda malaysia is not fully own by honda, it was sonething like joint venture with drb hicon at 51-49%. So drb is locating their staff especially previously fron proton into the organization

Expats is only 5 ppl only. Maybe now has increased to 10 ppl. All are heads of department and etc. Maybe the additional engineers and executives will boost the demand for properties. Local engineers also need a place to stay.
