Zac’s Take

Zac Ong

Forescape is a 28-storey serviced residence within Metrio Group's 35-acre Metrioplace commercial hub in Batu Kawan, with 398 homes above an eight-level car park, due around the end of 2029.

Both main layouts are dual-key: a 904 sq ft three-bedroom and a 1,098 sq ft four-bedroom, which can be split so part of the home is let or used separately. Prices have been marketed from roughly RM490,000, with the range running up to about RM800,000.

It's aimed at buyers who want a flexible home or long-let investment near the Batu Kawan Industrial Park. As serviced apartments, check the title and utility billing. Short-term letting rules in Seberang Perai are different from the island, so check the current by-law position before planning around it.

PSF is derived, not quoted — each row divides that type's price by its own square footage. Developers do not always state whether a published size is built-up or nett, and the two can differ by 20%. Ask for both in writing before you sign.

Developer price — the project has not completed, so there is no resale market to compare against, last checked 2026-10-05. Developers reprice between phases — confirm the current list before committing.

Foreign buyers must clear RM500,000 per unit (Seberang Perai mainland floor), then pay a state levy and a flat 8% stamp duty on top. See the true cost of buying as a foreigner.

Forescape @ Metrioplace completion date

Forescape @ Metrioplace is expected to complete in 2029. It is under construction now.

Read that as the developer's target, not a guarantee. What matters contractually is the vacant possession date in your SPA — 36 months from the sale and purchase agreement for a strata title under the Housing Development Act, with liquidated damages payable if the developer misses it. A launch year quoted in marketing and the VP date you can enforce are different things, so check the SPA schedule before you plan a move-in or a tenancy.
