Layouts

Developer gives 1,579 sq ft (22 × 40 ft) for its terrace in phases 12 to 16, and the phase 15 advert says from 1,582 sq ft; the IQI figure of 1,754–3,046 sq ft matches the land areas

163–220 sqm intermediate, 275–454 sqm corner
Foreign buyers
Possible, with state approval
Landed minimum outside Kuching Division is RM500,000; list prices RM580,000–680,000
Why this address
Four things buyers weigh at Central City Phase 15
Practical family terraces in Samarahan’s university town. Here is the case, and the catch.
Every bedroom en suite
Each of the three upstairs bedrooms has its own bathroom, with a utility room and a toilet on the ground floor.
Long car porch
A frontage of about 9 m (30 ft); intermediate lots from 163 to 220 sqm, corner lots from 275 to 454 sqm.
Near UNIMAS
The developer puts UNIMAS about 3 km away and IJN about 10 km, in a town built around universities and colleges.
What to weigh: distance to Kuching
Kuching city centre is about 17 km and the airport about 18.5 km away. It is leasehold, and the list price does not tell you what the house is worth today.

Is it for you?
Which kind of buyer are you?
The same building suits different people for different reasons. Pick the line that sounds like you.
🏠 Living here yourself
Ask me which stacks get the better view and the least afternoon sun; that changes the price more than the floor.
💰 Buying to rent out
Compare the recorded rents in "The price numbers" above with the instalment on your loan. Smaller layouts usually rent faster; larger ones hold tenants longer.
👨👩👧 Family with children
Check the school and clinic distances in the location section, the number of car parks per unit and how busy the lifts are at 7.30 am.
✈️ Buying from overseas
Foreigners can only buy above the state minimum price and pay 8% stamp duty from 2026. Ask me which units here qualify before you shortlist.
Straight talk
What I will not hide from you
Every project has trade-offs. These are the ones I would want to know before paying a deposit.
- ⚠️ Leasehold title. Check how many years remain on the lease; banks lend less, and buyers pay less, as the lease gets shorter.
- ⚠️ Landed homes: check the land title, the facing, and whether the house has had extensions that need approved plans.
- ⚠️ Asking prices are not sale prices. Compare any offer with the recorded transacted price per sq ft above before you commit.

I work with local families, investors and buyers from Singapore and overseas. If a project is not right for what you need, I will say so; that is usually worth more than the brochure.
