What You Get at R&F Princess Cove Phase 3
Handover Expected in 2029
Building time is 52 months counted from the SPA. Sales opened with the first SPAs in August 2025, and the KPKT deadline for handover is December 2029, so plan your move or your financing around that date.
Six Penthouse Types
At the top sit six penthouse designs between 2,558 and 3,979 sq ft, with four or five bedrooms and five or six bathrooms. These are house-sized homes for buyers who want the space of a landed home in a high-rise.
Dual-Key D2 and Four-Bedroom E
Type D2 (1,275 sq ft) is a dual-key plan with three bedrooms and three bathrooms, handy for living near parents or grown-up children. Type E (1,555 sq ft) has four bedrooms and two parking bays, one tandem and one single.
Olympic-Length Pool and Sky Park
Plans show a 50-metre pool of Olympic standard, a jogging track on the sky park and covered walkways. Level 6 adds basketball and tennis courts, mini golf and barbecue space; Level 4 holds indoor badminton, table tennis and snooker rooms.
Parking Depends on Unit Size
Studios have no bay, two- and three-bedroom units get one, and four-bedroom units get two. If you drive and are looking at a one-bedroom unit, ask me to confirm its parking before you book.
RM0.30 to RM0.40 psf Fee
The maintenance fee is set between RM0.30 and RM0.40 per sq ft a month, with 10% of that fee added for the sinking fund. Selling prices range from RM806 psf to RM1,350 psf.

What R&F Princess Cove Phase 3 @ Tanjung Puteri, Johor Bahru, Johor costs to own

| Stamp duty on the transfer, Malaysian buyer | RM7,600 |
| Stamp duty on the transfer, foreign buyer (flat 8%) | RM34,400 |
| Stamp duty on the loan agreement | 0.5% of your loan amount |

How dense it is
| Total units | 4,385 |
|---|---|
| Units per floor | 8 to 17 |
Who it suits
- Singles and couples, and landlords letting to them. Layouts start at 313 sq ft, which is a one or two person home rather than a family one.
- Buyers who need more room. The larger layouts reach 3,979 sq ft.
- Buyers who can wait. Completion is expected in 2029, so budget for rent until then.
- Malaysian buyers, and foreign buyers at RM1,000,000 or more. Units priced at RM1,000,000 or more meet Johor's minimum for a foreign buyer; cheaper units are open to a foreigner only as a serviced apartment or SOHO bought from the developer (not on a resale), with State Authority approval and a levy of at least RM50,000.
Who it may not suit
- You need to move in before 2029. Completion is expected in 2029, about 3 years after signing this year, so plan to rent or stay where you are until then.
- Your family needs three bedrooms. The largest layout here has only 1 bedroom.
What to confirm before you sign
- The service charge per square foot. It is the cost you carry every month for as long as you own, and it varies several times over between buildings.
- Car park allocation in writing. Some city projects allocate none; you rent a bay monthly instead.
- It sits on a Commercial title under the Housing Development Act. That changes utility tariffs and assessment rates compared with a residential title — ask for the figures before you budget.
- The delivery date in the sale and purchase agreement, not the one in the brochure.

Holding R&F Princess Cove Phase 3 month to month
For the starting-price unit of R&F Princess Cove Phase 3, at RM430,000, a 90% loan of RM387,000 repaid over 35 years at 4% a year, my example rate, costs about RM1,714 a month. The entry unit here, 313 sq ft, carries a service charge of about RM94 a month, and the sinking fund adds RM9. Budget roughly RM1,817 a month, not yet counting assessment tax or quit rent.
Tell me which unit you are considering on WhatsApp, +60 17-880 2526, and I will work it out for that unit.
The 4% is an example rate rather than a quote, and what you sign for is priced unit by unit and floor by floor. For a different loan, scale it up or down with the table below.
Your monthly bill in parts
| Part | Each month | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|
| Instalment on a 90% loan of RM387,000 | RM1,714 | 90% of RM430,000, 35 years at 4% a year |
| Service charge | RM94 | RM0.30 on each of 313 square feet |
| Sinking fund | RM9 | 10% of the service charge, the legal minimum |
| Assessment tax | Two bills a year | Your local council sets it on the annual value |
| Quit rent | One bill a year | Due every 1 January |
| Total a month | RM1,817 | Instalment, service charge and sinking fund |
Work out your own instalment
The bank's formula is monthly payment = P × r ÷ [1 − (1 + r)−n]. P is the amount borrowed, r is the yearly rate ÷ 12, and n is the number of monthly payments: 420 over 35 years.
Most new home loans float. The rate is the Standardised Base Rate (SBR) plus a spread the bank sets for you, and the SBR tracks the Overnight Policy Rate, which Bank Negara has held at 2.75% from 9 July 2025. At 4.5% instead of 4%, that RM387,000 loan costs about RM118 more a month, and a 30-year term instead of 35 adds about RM134. If this would be your third or later home loan, the bank can lend at most 70% of the property's value.
| For each RM100,000, at a rate of | Repaid over 35 years | Repaid over 30 years |
|---|---|---|
| 4.0% a year | RM443 a month | RM477 a month |
| 4.5% a year | RM473 a month | RM507 a month |
| 5.0% a year | RM505 a month | RM537 a month |
For a RM650,000 loan at 4% over 35 years, take 6.5 × RM443: about RM2,880 a month.
Service charge and sinking fund
The service charge at R&F Princess Cove Phase 3 is RM0.30 to RM0.40 a month for each square foot, and the sinking fund is billed on top of it. Under the Strata Management Act 2013, the sinking fund is at least 10% of the service charge and is kept for major repairs.
Across the 125 high-rise projects I track, the middle figure is RM0.40 per sq ft (sinking fund added before comparing). R&F Princess Cove Phase 3 sits below it, about RM22 a month less on the smallest unit than a building charging the middle figure.
