Why this address
Four things buyers weigh at The Shore
Freehold in the old town, with a hotel and mall downstairs. Here is the case, and the catch.
Walk to the old town
The developer puts it minutes from Jonker Street, Chinatown and Melaka’s historic sites, overlooking the river.
Freehold in the centre
StarProperty’s review described it as the only freehold development in its part of the city.
Resort facilities and a sky deck
A 9th-floor deck with leisure, lap and children’s pools, plus the Sky Lounge and the Shore Sky Tower on the 43rd floor.
What to weigh: records differ, and the heritage rule
Portals, the developer and StarProperty give different unit counts, storeys and sizes, so check the strata plan for your unit. Foreign buyers should also have the lawyer confirm the title is outside Melaka’s heritage zone, where foreign ownership is barred.
The development
The Shore @ Melaka River, decoded
Three residence towers and a hotel tower over a retail podium on the Melaka River. StarProperty’s launch review gives three 27-storey apartment towers and a 32-storey hotel tower; one portal lists 42 floors.

The recorded numbers
The price numbers
Recorded sales and asking prices are different things. Transacted figures come from deals recorded with the government valuation department; asking figures are what owners or the developer are listing at.
| Measure | Figure | Source and date |
|---|---|---|
| Transacted price median, last 48 months | RM756 psf · typical RM700–786 psf | EdgeProp, viewed Oct 2026 |
| Launch price 2012 | From RM760 psf | StarProperty launch review |
| Asking price for sale | RM197,000–750,000 · most RM220,000–618,000 (about RM452–611 psf) | PropertyGuru listings, Oct 2026 |
| Asking rent whole unit | RM990–3,800 a month · studios about RM1,200, 3 bedrooms about RM3,000 | PropertyGuru listings, Oct 2026 |
EdgeProp estimates the gross yield at about 3.6%. Listing figures are asking prices, not transactions.

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
Layouts here run from about 435 to 1,330 sq ft. 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.
- ⚠️ More than ten years old. Ask for the last AGM minutes and how much maintenance owners still owe; arrears show up as poor upkeep later.
- ⚠️ Serviced apartments usually sit on commercial land. Utility tariffs and some loan terms can be less favourable than for a residential title.
- ⚠️ Asking prices are not sale prices. Compare any offer with the recorded transacted price per sq ft above before you commit.

Frequently asked questions
Is The Shore freehold?
Yes. All portals and the developer list it as freehold.
How much does a unit cost?
EdgeProp records a median transacted price of about RM756 psf over the last 48 months. Current asking prices run from about RM197,000 for a studio to RM750,000 for the largest units (PropertyGuru, October 2026).
Can a foreigner buy here?
In Melaka a foreigner can generally buy a strata home priced above RM500,000 (RM1 million for a landed home), with State Authority consent through the Melaka Land and Mines Office (PTG Melaka). The state charges a RM5,000 processing fee and an approval fee of 3% of the price (at least RM30,000), the unit cannot be transferred or leased for five years, and foreign ownership is not allowed in Melaka’s heritage zone. Stamp duty on the transfer of a home is a flat 8% for foreign buyers from 1 January 2026. Only the larger units here are asked at above RM500,000, and because the project sits beside the old town, ask the lawyer to confirm the title is outside the heritage zone before you pay a deposit.

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.
