Developer: R&F Development
R&F Development is a subsidiary of R&F Properties Co., Ltd (R&F Group), one of China’s most prolific and internationally active property conglomerates. With landmark developments across China, Malaysia, the UK, and Southeast Asia, R&F brings international development expertise and financial strength to R&F Princess Cove. Their Johor Bahru development is one of the largest and most ambitious integrated waterfront projects in the region, transforming the JB CIQ district into a world-class lifestyle and transit hub.
A Landmark Freehold Township at CIQ
R&F Princess Cove is one of Johor Bahru’s largest waterfront developments, a freehold serviced residence township by R&F Development sitting directly beside the CIQ complex. Phase 1 alone delivers 3,472 units across towers of up to 50 storeys, making it one of the highest-density freehold addresses on the JB waterfront — and one of the closest large developments to the Causeway crossing into Singapore.
A Full Spread of Layouts
Phase 1 offers eight layouts, from a 555 sq.ft one-bedroom up to a 1,556 sq.ft four-bedroom, with several two and three-bedroom configurations in between (the C and D series). The breadth reflects the scale of the township: it serves single cross-border workers, couples, and families all within the same masterplan, alongside its own retail, waterfront promenade and integrated facilities.
Walking Distance to the Causeway
The defining feature of R&F Princess Cove is its position — directly beside the CIQ complex, putting the Causeway to Woodlands within walking distance and the upcoming RTS Link at Bukit Chagar close by. For buyers whose lives straddle the Strait, few JB addresses sit closer to the crossing. The development is freehold, with Phase 1 completed around the second quarter of 2025.

Is R&F Princess Cove Right For You?
Why Buy at R&F Princess Cove
Completed Q2 2025 and freehold. The building exists. You can walk the actual unit, see the actual view and the actual finishes rather than buying a rendering — and there is no construction risk left.
Walking distance to CIQ. If crossing to Singapore is part of your routine, this address removes the drive entirely. Very few JB developments can say that literally.
Seven to nine units per floor. Light floor loading for a development of this size, which is what keeps corridors short and lift waiting reasonable despite the overall unit count.
Why R&F Princess Cove May Not Suit You
Phase 1 alone is 3,472 units. This is a very large scheme. Your closest competition when selling or letting will be other units inside it, so floor, stack and view are what differentiate you.
The causeway is the whole thesis and the whole risk. Demand here tracks cross-border traffic and policy. If that is not why you are buying, the address does less for you than it looks.
Being complete cuts both ways. No build risk, but no early selection either — you take what is available rather than choosing your preferred stack.
