Why this address
Four things buyers weigh at College Square Wawasan
A small, low-priced block next to Sibu’s colleges. Here is the case, and the catch.
A campus address
Within walking distance of Kolej Laila Taib, UCTS and Woodlands International School; the developer pitched it at student and lecturer tenants.
Low entry price
Developer list prices ran from RM270,000 to RM379,500.
Daily needs nearby
The Medan departmental store, the Unicity food court and the Sungai Merah police station are close by, according to the developer.
What to weigh: a niche market
Only 36 units, each with one bathroom. Rental demand follows the colleges’ intake, and resale buyers are few, so check recent rents and sales before you offer.

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 rent furnished unit, water and Wi-Fi included | RM1,700 a month (one listing) | Skyroof Realty listing, Jan 2025 |
| Developer list price (launch) selling price, 2021 | from RM349,000 | Sarawak Projects, Mar 2021 |
| Developer list price (launch) on the IQI listing | RM270,000 – RM379,500 | IQI Project Centre, 2026 |
The rent is an asking figure from a single furnished agency listing in January 2025, not an agreed rent. The other rows are developer list prices. No units were listed for sale on iProperty in October 2026 and no transacted records were found; ask Jason for recorded subsale prices and current rents 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 710 to 807 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.
