Zac’s Take

Zac Ong

The Cove is one of the most exclusive seafront buildings in Tanjung Bungah — freehold, one full unit per floor (roughly 5,800 sqft), completed 2008 by City Associates. Total privacy, enormous layouts.

My honest take: this is a trophy own-stay for a buyer who wants a whole floor on the water. Asking runs about RM1.6M to RM4.2M. Units almost never list. Check the maintenance and sinking fund given the age. Tell me your brief and I'll watch for it.
