Tri Tower is direct beneficiary..

Next is R&F...

Taken from NST:
“I don’t know why the republic is holding back, knowing that the project will benefit travellers from both sides
of the causeway.”

Singapore’s options of RTS alignment are to build it parallel to the causeway and above the ground; parallel to the causeway and underground; or diagonally opposite the causeway.

Whichever alignment is chosen, it is understood that the RTS from
Singapore is an extension of the republic’s Thomson Line which will have its northern most station to be located at Woodlands North.

In other words, once the 43km line is constructed, it will be linked directly to the Bukit Chagar RTS Terminal.


No more advantage for those projects along TanjungPuteri, Lido Beach (like R&F, Vantage Bay & many more). To walk for 1.5km with the possibilty of being mugged along the way, hahahaha, cos these projects' residents are rich ma. Advantage move to area around JB Sentral. What are the projects near BktChagar that will benefit beside TriTowers? Land at Kim Teng Park would be priced btw rm1000-2000.

Above/Under ground, look like they are using the KTM tracks for RTS. But then again there might be flip/flop or Spore decided not to have RTS. Then bubble will burst probably by the high cost of commuting btw Spore/Mysia with the recent hike.

Maybe end up like what I said they will use KTM komuter train to ply btw JB and woodlands to cut cost.

I think the RTS will eventually link up with the KTM tracks then all projects along the railway would bloom and more people will benefit instead of the rich. With high frequencies kommuter service btw kulai and RTS JB, JB Centre will be less congested. The are also parcel of lands owned by KTM & others by the railway which will have great potential.

The China Developers will become waterfish for paying skyhigh prices for the land above water which sometime during hightide and heavy rain becomes underwater.

No fish, rotten prawn also can, hahaha.

I admire u that every news either good and bad will lead u to the same conclusion. Ur tot process is to have conclusion first than work backward to justify ur conclusion. Really cibehholiao kekeke

Every investment always come with risks .......

Thank you for keeping track of my comments, but of course this is to be expected as u do have a R&F unitowner's interest don't u?

The nearest route from R&F to RTS thru Jln Jim Quee is not pedestrian friendly at all.

My agent told me they will have shuttle bus service to the RTS.

I think they will provide shuttle service to nearby CIQ which is only a short ride. Besides it will only cost them small amount of money compare to premium price they selling. Just like shuttle bus service by paradigm mall to promote

My view:
1. @tambaididi--> shuttle bus to RTS - I doubt. Those afford buying R&F is definitely rich people. 1,200psf is very expensive, and no incremental investing value.
2. @Zelphon--> tri-tower is beneficiary, next is R&F - tri-tower is loser. Suddenly so many ppl from everywhere come your residential area, high density. Not much value for investment; people who work in Sg + buy for own stay ok. For rental, forget it. Sure cant get good rent there. If I afford to pay (high) rent, I would have rather bought an unit my own, or I will rent a whole HDB unit at Sembawang/Yishun/Woodlands.

Developer will not be there forever. Purchasers will have to bear the cost of the shuttle service eventually via monthly maintenance fees.

There are shopping mall, office, hotel for R&F. shuttle bus might be used not only by residence but it is also be used by all purpose.

Anyone knows how much the retail lots below the apartments?
I really have no faith in developers looking to sell shopping mall units as individual units. just shows their lack of commitment and wanna 'elope' with the profits back to china.

Most buyers of R&F units expect to walk downstairs and take the MRT rides and not another shuttle. For me JB City Centre is not conducive area to live with the constant taffic jam, pollution(from CIQ, buses at Jln AhFook), vagrants and WF. Can't imagine when tens of thousand of units are completed and each comes with two cars. The only selling point is for those travelling daily to work in Spore.

It surprises me why people want to buy properties by the coast (esp along tebrau river) not that our water is clean but actually it stinks. Don't expect the govt to keep on spending to rehabilitate the waterway.

Extracted from a news article on 3-oct-2013:
EXCO Johor Housing and Local Government Minister Datuk Abdul Latif Bandi said the restoration work, the River Segget will open mid 2014 to allow the public to enjoy its beauty. "rehabilitation work along the 1.2 mile River Segget is rapidly implemented, and it will be opened in the middle of next year," he said. The river, labeled as one of the dirtiest rivers in Malaysia, in the heart of Johor Bahru, now covered with concrete from public view."

It will be good if they can set up Komuter Train to link with the RTS so that people have a choice to live away from the City Centre.
