The Next Chapter of an Established International Waterfront Community
For over a decade, R&F Princess Cove has been shaping one of Johor Bahru’s most established and recognisable waterfront destinations. What began as a visionary masterplan has evolved into a thriving integrated community where residential, retail, cultural and leisure components come together to create a complete urban lifestyle ecosystem.
Today, residents enjoy the convenience of having everyday essentials and lifestyle experiences within walking distance. From shopping and dining at R&F Mall to cultural performances at the international-standard opera house, as well as waterfront recreational spaces and marina
facilities, the community offers a seamless live-work-play environment designed for modern city living.
Strategically positioned at the gateway between Johor Bahru and Singapore, R&F Princess Cove has become a preferred choice for those seeking the convenience of a connected cross-border lifestyle. Residents benefit from direct access to the Johor Bahru CIQ via a 650-metre covered pedestrian link, complemented by dedicated shuttle services that enhance everyday mobility.
The upcoming RTS Link, expected to begin operations on 1 January 2027, will further strengthen connectivity between the two cities, bringing Singapore within minutes of the development and unlocking greater accessibility for work, leisure and daily living.
Combined with its established community, comprehensive lifestyle offerings and prime waterfront location, R&F Princess Cove has grown into one of Johor Bahru’s most recognised international communities. Today, more than 10,000 families call it home, reflecting the enduring appeal of its integrated live-work-play environment.
Mr. Ma Yikui, General Manager of China Construction Third Engineering Bureau (Malaysia), highlights the C1 Tower topping-out as a key milestone reflecting strong partnership and
collaboration with R&F Group.

Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Zha ZeFeng said the successful topping-out of the C1 Tower marks an important milestone for New Casa Suites Phase 3 and stands as a testament to the strong partnership, commitment and professionalism demonstrated by all parties involved throughout the construction process.
He noted that the project has maintained an exceptional pace of development without compromising on quality, positioning it among the most advanced large-scale developments currently under construction in Johor Bahru city centre. The achievement reflects the project team’s unwavering focus on delivering a high-quality development while meeting key construction milestones efficiently and responsibly.
Positioned to Benefit from the Next Phase of Cross-Border Growth
Cross-border connectivity between Johor Bahru and Singapore is entering a transformative phase. The RTS Link has progressed into train testing, while ongoing enhancements to the Bukit Chagar CIQ are expected to further improve the efficiency of cross-border travel. As these key infrastructure projects move closer to completion, the vision of living in Johor Bahru while working in Singapore is rapidly becoming an everyday reality for a growing number of residents.
Capturing the Opportunities of the JS-SEZ
The topping-out of the C1 Tower marks another significant step forward for R&F Princess Cove as it positions itself to capitalise on the long-term opportunities arising from the Johor–Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ). Combined with the upcoming RTS Link and the continued transformation of Johor Bahru’s city centre, the development is well placed to benefit from increased economic activity, stronger cross-border integration and growing demand for strategically located residential properties.
From the successful delivery of a mature waterfront community to the rapid advancement of its latest phase, R&F Princess Cove continues to demonstrate its commitment to long-term value creation. Supported by established amenities, seamless connectivity and a prime location at the heart of the Johor–Singapore growth corridor, the development is strengthening its position as a benchmark international waterfront community for living, investment and cross-border lifestyles.
