What I will not hide from you
Every project has weaknesses. An agent not mentioning them does not make them go away — it just means you find out after you have signed. Here is what is actually wrong with this one.
Relatively far from Bukit Chagar RTS and CIQ (about a 12–15 minute drive), so not a core RTS beneficiary
Some published PSF and rental figures contain outliers; actual transacted prices need verification on the ground
What else is there around City Centre / RTS Line?

Johor sets a minimum purchase price for foreigners, and the rules differ between commercial title (serviced apartment / SOHO) and residential title. Setia Sky88 is Freehold — confirm with your lawyer which regime applies before you place a booking. Get this wrong and the transfer can fail. I can check the title category for this project first.
