Emerald Bay

Everything below comes from the developer’s own material. These are the figures that are fixed at construction — renovation changes none of them, so they are worth checking before anything else.

- **Developer** — BRDB- **Property type** — Landed Property- **Tenure** — Freehold- **Land title** — Residential- **Land area** — 111 acres- **Total units** — 250 landed homes within a 1,649-unit masterplan- **Security** — Gated and guarded with 24-hour perimeter patrols and multiple levels of access control- **Architect** — Masterplan and architecture by WATG of the United States- **Completion** — Completed

250 homes on 111 acres works out to roughly 2 lots per acre. On landed schemes that ratio is the single best proxy for how much land sits between you and your neighbour, and unlike a finish or a fitting it is settled the day the layout is approved.

There are 6 layouts here, spanning 3,301 to 6,728 sq ft. A spread that wide means the building will hold very different households side by side — worth asking which stack your floor sits in before you choose.

The development is finished and the certificate of completion has been issued, so what you view is what you get — no construction risk and no waiting period, but also no scope to vary the layout.

Bathroom counts are not tabulated per type in the developer’s own material, so they are left off this table rather than inferred from the drawings.

Six layouts, and the built-up figures above are the ones printed on the developer’s own floor plan sheets, which are reproduced on this page. Bathroom counts are deliberately left blank: every layout carries a master bath, a guest bath, further bathrooms, a powder room and a separate maid’s bathroom, and the totals differ between units — read them off the plans rather than trusting a single number. Bedroom counts are taken from the room legends on those same plans and include the guest suite. Every layout has a private lift. Phase 1A holds 82 units across the five layouts; Phase 1B, called The Island, holds twelve bungalows on a separate island reached by its own bridge.

Emerald Bay sits inside Puteri Harbour, the southernmost marina and waterfront development on mainland Asia, in Iskandar Puteri, Johor. The address is a marina one in the literal sense — a network of private waterways runs through the development and a large share of the homes have a berth at the back of the house.

Puteri Harbour is minutes from Singapore by road through the Second Link, which is the whole point of the location for a great many buyers here. Around it sit Medini’s commercial district, the Puteri Harbour theme parks, and the international schools that have clustered in Iskandar Puteri over the past decade.

- Puteri Harbour marina — the development sits on it- Singapore — minutes away by road via the Second Link- Iskandar Puteri town centre — the administrative core of the region- Medini — the commercial and entertainment district next door- Legoland Malaysia and the Puteri Harbour theme parks — on the same waterfront- International schools in Iskandar Puteri — several within the vicinity- Senai International Airport — north of the city- Johor Bahru city centre and CIQ — east along the coastal road

Emerald Bay is developed by BRDB.
