“Johor chokes on property” —The STAR Business News, 20 February 2014
Iskandar Johor is experiencing an unprecedented break-neck pace of development. High prices are the norm. New launches are priced the same or even higher than what is being sold in the more established Kuala Lumpur–Klang Valley region...“RM600—RM1000 psf, with prime units hitting RM1,500 psf”.*
The average residential value for Johor property has risen some 45% over the past five years compared with 30% nationwide. China developers are now flooding the market with massive supply of properties although delivery and quality are in question given the tight material and labour supply.
Many developers, local and foreign, have recently acquired land in Iskandar. However, with its high acquisition and development costs, these new properties will inevitably be priced at a premium to recover their investments.
Where does that leave the home-buyer in the face of this escalation of home prices in the state?

Plentong the hub of the future Under the Iskandar masterplan, there will be a major rail terminus in Plentong where the electrified commuter rail between Pasir Gudang, Johor Bahru and Kulai, and LRT/Monorail between Pasir Gudang and Johor Bahru, intersects. The arrival of MRT trains from Singapore will be a major catalyst for growth.
Plentong is considered as one of the best housing areas in Johor, sandwiched between the upscale neighbourhoods of Taman Molek, Mount Austin, Daiman and Senibong Cove. The hugely successful Mid Valley Megamall will be sited close by.
In time, Plentong will be a very affluent district with g Residence at its very heart.
