Grand Meridian

The developer’s website says 535 units across two 32-storey towers. The Daily Express reported Tower A as 283 units in April 2025, and a developer fact sheet I have seen gives Tower B as 252 — which together make 535.

The same fact sheet puts Tower A at 238 and the total at 490. The developer’s floor plans show nine homes on a typical Tower A floor and eight in Tower B; over 31 typical floors plus four penthouses that is 283 and 252, so 238 looks like a transposed 283. That is my arithmetic, not a developer statement — ask for the unit count of your tower in writing.

The Daily Express reported completion in 2028. Other coverage and the developer fact sheet split it: Tower A by 2028 and Tower B by 2029.

Those are targets. The developer’s June 2024 FAQ for Tower A gave a construction period of 52 months from the date of the sale and purchase agreement, with late-delivery compensation at 8% a year of the purchase price. The period written in your own agreement is what binds the developer — check it.

In April 2025 the Daily Express reported prices from RM582,000. Property portals list the Tower A range at about RM568,000 to RM1.79 million — a portal figure, not a developer price list. No Tower B or penthouse price has been published.

Tower A was reported about 90% taken up by then, so the useful question now is what is left in Tower B and at what price. I will send you the current list.

Twenty-five layouts from 882 to 3,363 sq ft, every one with at least three bedrooms and two bathrooms. On the developer’s floor plans Tower A has D2 at 882 sq ft, D1 at 886, C2 at 1,049, C1 at 1,050, B1 at 1,200 and A1 at 1,418 sq ft with four bedrooms plus a maid’s room.

Tower B has C1 and C3 at 1,050 sq ft, B3 at 1,210, B2 at 1,245 and A2 at 1,606 sq ft, plus larger-balcony variants up to 1,646 sq ft (A2b). There are four penthouses per tower, from 2,624 sq ft (G1) to 3,363 sq ft (I).

Leasehold for 99 years, from 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2118, according to the developer fact sheet, which gives the land title as CL 215505187. Portals also list it as leasehold.

Ask when individual strata titles will be issued, because that affects loans and resale. The developer’s FAQ says the car park bays are to be applied for as accessory parcels.

Sabah sets its own rules, and the minimum price for non-citizens is quoted inconsistently: RM1,000,000 in the Bar Council’s state table, with a lower figure for strata property also in circulation. Most standard units here were reported below RM1 million, which may rule them out for a non-citizen.

The only reliable answer is written confirmation from the Sabah Lands and Surveys Department through a Sabah conveyancing solicitor, for the exact unit and price. Budget for the flat 8% stamp duty on residential purchases by non-citizens since 1 January 2026.

According to the developer fact sheet, Types C1, C2, D1 and D2 in Tower A have one bay, Types A1 and B1 have two, and penthouses have three. In Tower B, Type C has one bay and Types A and B two. The sheet also gives about 20 visitor bays.

An earlier developer FAQ for Tower A differed on Type C — two bays on levels 16 to 31 and one tandem bay below — so confirm the number of bays for your exact unit in the sale and purchase agreement. Bays measure 2.4 m by 4.8 m.

The Sabah developer licence and advertising permit numbers; which floors carry the larger-balcony variants in Tower B; a reconciled unit count per tower; the main contractor; the current construction stage; and the brands and colours of the finishes.

Every one of these can be answered in writing. Ask for them before you pay a booking fee.

Grand Meridian is off Jalan Kendara in Kepayan, 88200 Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, between Jalan Lintas and the Jalan Pintas Penampang bypass — about five minutes from the airport by the developer’s figure.

The developer’s FAQ places it between Hotel No. 5 / Eden Heights and Surian Residences. Portals give the address as Lorong Kendara 2a; no lot number is published, so ask for a location pin before you visit.

Skye Vista Development Sdn Bhd (company no. 201801030552, 1292578-P), a Kota Kinabalu developer with its office at Lintas Jaya Uptownship on Jalan Lintas.

Its website lists three completed projects — Meridian Garden, Meridian Place and Greenfield Residence — none as tall as these two 32-storey towers. I found no adverse record reported, which is not a clean bill of health.

Per the developer’s FAQ and fact sheet: a shear-wall structure on bored piles, 2.9 m ceiling clearance, three residents’ lifts plus a service lift in each tower, and an estimated RM0.33 per sq ft a month for maintenance and sinking fund together.

Units are handed over with 2 ft × 2 ft floor tiles in the living, dining and kitchen areas, laminated flooring in the bedrooms, fully tiled bathrooms with sanitary fittings, half-height kitchen wall tiles with a single-bowl sink, a fire-rated main door, painted walls and a glass-and-railing balcony.

Not included: kitchen cabinets, hood and hob, air-conditioners and water heaters — points only. Standard units have single-phase wiring, penthouses three-phase. Brands and colours were still to be confirmed, so check the specification schedule in your sale and purchase agreement.
