Why this address
Four things buyers weigh at Coral Bay @ Sutera
Seafront living inside a resort. Here is the case, and what to weigh.
On the seafront
The developer says about 80% of the views face the sea, towards the islands of the Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park, with every unit given a balcony and about 100 m of private beach (GSH, 2018).
Inside Sutera Harbour Resort
The blocks sit next to The Pacific Sutera Hotel, The Magellan Sutera Resort, a 104-berth marina and a 27-hole golf course, behind the resort’s gate.
Between airport and city
The listing gives 10 to 15 minutes to Kota Kinabalu International Airport and about 5 minutes to Imago mall and Gleneagles hospital.
What to weigh: price band and build history
Asking prices start around RM3 million, so the pool of buyers and tenants is small. In June 2022 the New Straits Times reported that the project had hit a snag, and GSH later appointed CRCG Malaysia as the new main contractor (The Edge Singapore). Ask for the CCC date and the defects record of the block you view.

The recorded numbers
What units here sell and rent for
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Asking for sale | from RM3,000,000 · about RM1,058–1,795 psf | PropertyGuru listings, Oct 2026 |
| Asking rent whole unit | from RM6,500 a month | PropertyGuru listings, Oct 2026 |
| Developer list price later list price on the IQI listing; launched from RM2.3m in May 2018 (GSH) | RM2,920,324 – RM10,747,263 | IQI Project Centre, 2026 |
Sale and rent figures are asking prices from about nine sale and nine rental listings on PropertyGuru seen in October 2026, not recorded sales; no transacted median was found. The developer’s list prices on IQI are shown for comparison; they are later list prices, as GSH’s May 2018 launch announcement gave prices from RM2.3 million. Ask Jason for recorded sale prices before you offer.

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 1,541 to 9,283 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.
- ⚠️ Leasehold title. Check how many years remain on the lease; banks lend less, and buyers pay less, as the lease gets shorter.
- ⚠️ 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.
