The Shore is a ritzy freehold mixed development on an elevated enclave by the Malacca River. Completed in October 2014, it encompasses one tower of serviced residences, a 4-star 32-storey hotel and The Shore Shopping Gallery. Interestingly, Peranakan design elements are incorporated into the contemporary interiors of The Shore’s 392 residential units. Dwellers will have no lack of amenities – 24-hour security, a grand entrance lobby, swimming pools, sky gym, fitness centres, business facilities, nursery, eateries, retail outlets, you name it. The Shore is located 5 to 15 minutes from a long list of tourist attractions including the river cruise, Jonker Walk, Maritime Musuem, A Famosa and Stadthuys, as well as new attractions like the Oceanarium and Toy Museum. At less than 6km away from The Shore, its nearest hospitals are Hospital Melaka and Oriental Melaka Straits Medical Centre. The development is also just half an hour away from the integrated bus terminal and Malacca International Airport, making it a convenient place for homestays and holiday rentals. Of course, with the prestige and amenities of the project come higher than average prices – something potential buyers need to take into account when comparing the property with others nearby.
