RTS link

BROKERS’ TAKE

RTS Link unlikely to topple Singapore retail despite JB’s appeal: OCBC

A narrowing price gap between malls in the two cities is among factors keeping the city-state going

The ringgit has strengthened to record highs against the US dollar and Singdollar in recent months.

Singdollar appreciated at average rate of 1.3% against ringgit over 2020 to 2025: Alvin Tan

Measures to support local businesses, given the impending RTS Link, will be announced later

A more disciplined way to keep the JS-SEZ grounded is to adopt a simple principle: property should follow jobs, not lead them.
THINKING ALOUD

RTS boom, JS-SEZ buzz: Are homes racing ahead of jobs – again?

Are we planning housing primarily around Johor-based employment growth or around cross-border commuting demand?

FCT owns Causeway Point and plans to transform it into a "regional mall" with a "more differentiated" tenant mix.

FCT weighs Johor Bahru retail threat with RTS Link, bets on Northern Singapore

Retail sales leakage to Johor Bahru is expected to increase from about 4 per cent to about 5 per cent

Crossing the Causeway for shopping and leisure will get much easier when the Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System Link becomes operational.
THE LEVEL GROUND

Will FCT’s Causeway Point reel from the opening of the Johor Bahru-Singapore RTS Link?

Busy Singapore residents who value convenience will continue to support strong suburban malls here

Johor Bahru is at the front and centre of real estate action in Malaysia’s southern state.

Can the JB-Singapore RTS link help soak up the city's 61,000 upcoming high-rise homes?

Challenge for developers and investors is timing: buying now to capture value, while also managing the risk of new supply flooding the market
