Zac’s Take
Zac Ong
Rubica is OSK Property's freehold serviced residence in the Harbour Place township in Butterworth: a 34-storey tower with 230 homes, due around the third quarter of 2026.
There are five layouts of three and four bedrooms, about 946 to 1,335 sq ft, priced from about RM484,000. Maintenance including the sinking fund is estimated at about 30 sen per sq ft.
It suits families who want a larger new home in Butterworth near Penang Sentral and the ferry, at a mainland price. Expect commercial utility rates on serviced-residence title. Foreign buyers need RM500,000 for mainland condos, so only the dearer layouts qualify.
Rubica @ Harbour Place price list 2026
1 of 1 unit types have a published price · entry from RM484,000 · 230 units total · completing 2026
| Type | Size (sqft) | Price from | PSF (derived) | Units |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| serviced residence | 946–1,335 | RM484,000 | ~363 | 230 |
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 2026-10-10. Developers reprice between phases — confirm the current list before committing.
Every unit type here sits below the RM500,000 foreign-buyer minimum, so this project is open to Malaysian and PR buyers only.
Rubica @ Harbour Place completion date
Rubica @ Harbour Place is expected to complete in 2026. 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.
