Eight & Eight vs The Brezza vs i-Santorini 2026 — Three Ways Into Tanjung Tokong Under RM1M

Tanjung Tokong is usually thought of as premium territory: Straits Quay, the Seri Tanjung Pinang villas, seafront towers above RM1M. But it also has three very different ways in for well under RM1M, and buyers often end up comparing them without realising how different they are. One is brand new, one is older with much bigger homes, and one is the area's budget option.

Key takeaways: Eight & Eight is UDA's new launch, due 2029, with flexible dual-key layouts and lots of facilities, from RM691,000 on UDA's price list. The Brezza, UDA's older building right next door, gives you 1,250–1,450 sq ft for roughly RM570,000–650,000. i-Santorini is the cheapest, around RM450,000–490,000 for 850 sq ft, in a very large development. All three are leasehold and mostly for Malaysian buyers, though MM2H participants can buy Eight & Eight and most of The Brezza, since they can buy from RM500,000 (residential, up to two homes).

The three at a glance

Prices change with every listing and price list, so treat these as a guide.

Eight & Eight: new, flexible, and you wait for it

Eight & Eight is UDA's two-tower launch on Jalan Desiran Tanjung, on a 2.92-acre site with an eight-level car park podium. Its three layouts include a 1,020 sq ft dual-key and a 1,140 sq ft triple-key, which can be split so a parent or grown-up child has their own lockable space. The facilities are generous for the price: an Olympic-length infinity pool, gym, badminton and pickleball courts, a daycare centre, co-working room and sky lounge.

You pay for newness. At around RM750–930 per sq ft it's the most expensive of the three per square foot, and you won't move in until 2029. The full Eight & Eight review goes deeper.

The Brezza: the space-for-money pick

The Brezza is UDA's earlier building on the same road, completed around 2010–11, with 312 homes. Its big advantage is size: 1,250 to 1,450 sq ft, compared with 885–1,140 sq ft at Eight & Eight, and recent listings have started around RM567,000–650,000. That's roughly RM440–510 per sq ft, the best value of the three.

The trade-offs are age and facilities. A fifteen-year-old building needs a look at the management accounts and the sinking fund, and its shared facilities won't match Eight & Eight's list. But you can move in now, see exactly what you're buying, and furnished homes let for about RM2,300–3,000 a month.

i-Santorini: the budget option

i-Santorini, by Ideal Property Group, is one of Tanjung Tokong's largest developments, with 2,155 three-bedroom homes of about 850 sq ft. It was built as affordable housing, and typical resales sit around RM450,000–490,000, with long lets at about RM1,400–2,200 a month.

It's the cheapest way into Tanjung Tokong, but the scale means you'll always compete with many identical units when you sell or let, so condition and view decide your price. Check whether the unit carries any affordable-housing resale conditions before you commit.

Which one should you choose?

Choose Eight & Eight if you want a new home, like the idea of a dual-key layout for family, and don't need to move in until 2029.

Choose The Brezza if space matters most and you'd rather have a bigger, older home now than a smaller new one later. For most families comparing these three, it's the strongest value.

Choose i-Santorini if your budget is under RM500,000 and you want a Tanjung Tokong address, or you're buying a first home to rent out on a long lease.
