Before you choose
What to check
- Compare price per square foot on the same layout size.
- Check the developer’s current price list against the permit band: asking prices for Mandolin units on the portals are below its permit band.
- Look at the drive to your workplace or the Causeway at the hour you would travel: the Tebrau Highway is busy at peak times.
- Foreign buyers: units here are below Johor’s RM1 million minimum, so these projects generally suit Malaysian buyers.
