18 July 2013

Setia Sky 88, the much-awaited luxury serviced apartment project in Iskandar Malaysia, has attracted overwhelming response from buyers. With prices ranging between RM600,000 and over RM1 million, all 353 international units of the twin towers were sold during its five-day preview in Singapore and Johor Bahru.

Setia Sky 88, themed “Life in the Clouds”, is a high-end development conveniently situated opposite New York Hotel along Jalan Dato’ Abdullah Tahir, a strategic location in JB city flanked by hotels, commercial and retail establishments. This exciting location is fast transforming into the new city centre.

Set to become an iconic landmark, Setia Sky 88 comprises three towers which offers refreshing open spaces and modern facilities. The planned double infinity pool surrounded by lush landscape makes for an idyllic sanctuary where one can chill and relax. Residents can also enjoy a panoramic view of the city from the private Sky Deck, which is equipped with a fully decked-out gourmet kitchen to host their perfect party set against the magnificent view of skyline and Singapore. If first impression counts, the garden lobby with its cascading foliage and ambient setting will draw visitors and residents into a luxurious embrace that raise the bar for the finest five star hotel lobbies.

"The response was overwhelming. In fact, we're surprised by the huge response. It was totally unexpected. All the international units were sold out during the short five-day preview." quoted Mr. Ricky Yeo, General Manager at Setia City Development Sdn Bhd, the developer of the project.

He also noted that 40 percent of the buyers were foreigners, comprising not only of those from Singapore, but also those from Japan, South Korea, Canada, New Zealand, Britain and Hong Kong.

"Such attention indeed shows Iskandar Malaysia can be in the investment radar of international property buyers if we have the right product in place."
