Judging from what I have seen of the Type H showroom unit, it is a well designed layout with no frills, in a sense very easy to move around, no clutter and no blockages of the view to outside either from the Master Bedroom, Second room or from the Living Room/Dining Area.
With the added fact that you are surrounded by lush greenery, great landscaping and easy access to not only one but three levels of an array of facilities and if you have a unit facing the front, a beautiful view of the straits facing towards Singapore. In my view at the price that you are paying, you are getting a worthwhile deal especially due to the fact that this is low density development and a great choice of units to purchase.
Investment wise the rental rates should be pretty good and if you want to make this your homestead, whether you are a Malaysian or a Foreigner, you can be sure that you will be only minutes away from all the necessities, conveniences and shopping malls not forgetting the upcoming Universities like the Univeristy of Southampton and University of Reading Malaysia. A perfect living space for students, lecturers, businesmen and families.
No matter what you decide upon, make sure you choose wisely because for me, I would be terribly spoiled for choice.
Facilities:
Facilities not only cover one floor, not two floors but THREE floors. With a 4-Tier Security Control system you can be sure that you and your family are safe and sound, privately tucked away in your own sanctuary of luxury and privacy.

Bandar Baru Permas Jaya AEON
Permas Jaya or Bandar Baru Permas Jaya
Permas Jaya with the official name of Bandar Baru Permas Jaya, is a housing estate and light industrial area located in Johor Bahru District, northeast of Johor Bahru, and is under the administration of MBJB or Johor Bahru City Council. It has about 40,000-45,000 residents. The Permas Jaya Bridge connects it with Kampung Baru Bakar Batu, Taman Sentosa and downtown Johor Bahru. The Second Permas Jaya Bridge is completed and had helped to reduce traffic jams. The new Eastern Dispersal Link has also been completed and opened for public on 1 April 2012. Vehicles from Singapore now can directly drive into the highway and to Pasir Gudang. This have saved a lot of time for the Singaporeans and the Permas Jaya residents who met with traffic jams everyday during the project of Second Permas Jaya Bridge and the EDL Highway are being carried out.
Bandar Baru Permas Jaya township
The residential areas are divided into sections, with the section numbers numbering from 1 to 15 and beyond, based on the phases when the town was built. The roads in the residential areas are further named with a “/” and another representing number, which means 1/13 is a road found in the residential area 1.
Permas Jaya has a 9 hole golf course and residential condominiums. It also has a sports and recreational complex and a go-kart circuit. Permas Point used to be the main shopping and leisure complex with a cinema and bowling alley but has been closed since 1999. It also boost a sports complex which has a tennis court, swimming complex and library. Currently, Jaya Jusco is the main shopping centre in Permas Jaya. Permas Jaya Management has built a new Permas Mall to attract new businesses.
Permas Jaya Golf Course Clubhouse
Permas Jaya is a popular choice for middle class professionals and business people (mainly local Chinese and Singaporeans) as well as a small number of expatriates to live in because of its strategic location between Johor Bahru and Pasir Gudang shipbuilding yards (traffic congestion on the Pasir Gudang Highway is a major and growing problem, mainly due to poor driving skills and slow moving vehicles, overloaded trucks and JCB diggers) within an area with a population of more than 300,000. There is a bit of a night life and good restaurants, some with live entertainment. There are also many Chinese styled cafes as well as the Jusco Permas Jaya, which is one of the earliest Jusco branches in Johor Bahru.

5 Questions to Answer before Making a Decision to Buy
Before putting your life savings into a property investment, ask yourself these few questions to determine whether or not your dream home will appreciate in value or forever lie fallow:

- In these days of high-speed technology, does it have telecommunication infrastructure in place ie. Telephone lines, fibre optic/wireless technology for Internet, Astro ready and Wifi?
- Does it have an “exciting” feature to breathe “life” into the township, such as: An international school or university campus with foreign students, a shopping centre, offices, a hospital?

Summary
Sovereign Bay, Permas Jaya, Iskandar has got to be one of the most exciting new developments coming up in Iskandar and it is now the trend that many new developments concentrate their locations near or next to the seafront facing our neighbour, Singapore – easier to cross over from the nearby CIQ terminal for that holiday or business trip – and the dream of a lifetime to be right where you want to be, facing the sea.
Sovereign Bay has surely got to be one of the nicest and more aesthetic designed developments to come up and whilst be private enough to call your own alcove of luxury, with beautifully designed exteriors and interiors, it is also at the same time a place for great social gatherings whether it be at the 150 metres above sea-level Rooftop Infinity Pool or on Level Five with more pools and spaces to enjoy that kind of social get-together. For me, I don’t know many developments that can boast of 3 swimming pools on two different levels and a serviced apartment that has 5-Star Hotel Qualtiy Service and and Hotel Management specialist team engaged as the Consultant for a Development have you?.
Precious moments indoors, or outdoors high up at the Spa or even just walking around Level Five or Level 24 for either that early morning walk to breath in the fresh sea air or your after-work walk or jog to relax your senses and unwind after a long day at the office or on business trips. You have it all, and where else but at Sovereign Bay, Permas Jaya, Iskandar – The First High-End Condotel in Iskandar, Malaysia.
