The Wadihana in 30 seconds
The Wadihana is a freehold condominium in Wadi Hassan / Bukit Senyum, Johor Bahru, Malaysia, developed by Not yet verified and completed in 1997. It comprises 1 block(s), 29 storeys and 116 units. Address: 25 Jalan Mohd Taib, 80300 Johor Bahru, Johor.
Layouts run 1,667 to 3,450 sq ft across 1 types. As at September 2026, resale listings range RM815,000 – RM2,280,000, with a mid-market level around RM1,547,500; transacted PSF sits at RM352–548 psf. Whole-unit rents are RM2,900 – RM4,450 a month, a gross yield of 2.5% – 3.5%. Maintenance: not published by this project. Across 47 completed Johor Bahru condos the measured range is RM0.22–0.42 per sq ft per month (median about RM0.31); projects completed before 2012 mostly sit at RM0.15–0.31 (typical RM0.25). Applied to this page’s 1,667–3,450 sq ft layouts that works out to roughly RM250 – RM1,070 a month — an estimate, not a billed figure. One single listing quotes RM480 a month for a 1,819 sq ft unit (about RM0.264 psf), but it stands alone and is not yet verified. Ask the management office for the latest fee notice and the audited accounts.
Transport position: about 1.5–2 km from Bukit Chagar RTS station, roughly a 5–6 minute drive
Official median transacted price (historical reference): RM498,000 (280 psf), period 3 July 2023 – 13 June 2024 (19 transactions), source brickz.my (data sourced from NAPIC / JPPH), quartiles RM410,000–660,000. The median for Johor Bahru as a whole over the same period is RM408 psf, so this project's RM280 psf is only 69% of that, making it one of the cheapest per square foot among large units in the Johor Bahru city centre. By layout: the mainstay 3-bedroom 1,667 sq ft units transact at about RM320 psf, and 1,852 sq ft units at about RM410 psf. But look closely at the gap between asking and transacted prices: PropertyGuru asking prices are currently RM293–457 psf with actual listings at RM658,000–758,000, while the transacted median is only RM498,000. Sellers' price expectations are far above what the market will pay, the classic profile of an older building with thin transaction volume. There is plenty of room to negotiate, but you will face the same problem when you come to sell. Note: official data lags 6–12 months between transaction and publication. The price and rent tables on this page use agent-corrected figures, about 20% above published data — that is what you would actually pay today.

1 layout, from 1,667 to 3,450 sq ft
The table shows the current resale price band and rent band for each layout. Mid-market sits around RM1,547,500, the top of market reaches RM2,280,000 — within one layout the spread comes down to floor, facing and condition.
| Layout | Area | Bed / Bath | Resale price band | PSF | Monthly rent |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard layout 3+1 bedrooms | 1667-3450 sf | 4BR · 3 bath | RM815,000 – RM2,280,000 | — | RM2,900 – 4,450 |
These are agent-corrected figures — based on the asking prices and signed rents currently in front of Koh Yue Lin, running about 20% above the published numbers on brickz.my / NAPIC and the major portals. That gap is not an error: official transaction data lags 6–12 months between recording and publication, and portal listings are often stale prices owners never updated. Portal basis for the same period: RM293–457 psf; this page uses RM352–548 psf. The official historical median is shown separately at the top of the page for trend.
PSF in this table is each layout’s own asking price divided by its area; the Asking PSF in the facts card is the project-wide agent-corrected band. Where one row merges layouts of very different sizes, the PSF cell is left blank rather than averaged.
Corrected as at 5 September 2026. Actual prices still depend on floor, facing, condition and negotiation; nothing here is an offer.

What The Wadihana actually looks like today
This page carries no stock imagery. A great deal of what circulates online is developer renderings, show units, or photographs of an entirely different project — attractive on screen, disappointing in person. I only send images whose source I have verified, each labelled as a photograph or a rendering.
Official project visuals from The Wadihana's own project site (thewadihana.com); copyright the project's publisher.
Lobby, lift landing, pool, gym, corridor condition, and interior shots of the units actually on the market. Each one is labelled as a photograph or a developer rendering — the gap between those two is where post-signing disappointment usually lives.
The developer’s own drawings — all 5 official layouts
These are scans of the project’s original sales brochure, not agent redraws. Every sheet carries The Wadihana logo, the layout code and the total floor area — and, unusually, the square footage of every individual room, down to the balcony. Much of what circulates online has been redrawn by agents, cropped so the dimensions are gone, or belongs to another project. Rule layouts out on paper first — it saves viewings.
The 5 layout drawings above are scans of The Wadihana's original sales brochure, published on the project's own website thewadihana.com (run by Perbadanan Pengurusan Kondominium Wadihana, the condominium's management corporation) and preserved in the Internet Archive. Each sheet carries the project logo, the layout code, the total floor area and the area of every individual room. Copyright the original developer of The Wadihana.
Two units with the same built-up can differ hugely: how much goes to corridor, whether columns eat furniture space, whether a king bed fits the master, whether the balcony counts inside the area. Staging hides all of that on a viewing; a plan does not. Rule layouts out on paper first.
Rents: RM2,900 to RM4,450 a month
Whole-unit gross yield runs about 2.5% – 3.5%. That is gross — before maintenance, assessment, quit rent, insurance and vacancy. Net yield typically lands 0.8 to 1.2 percentage points below this.
Monthly rent by layout
Whole unit, unfurnished to basic furnishing · Ringgit per month
Who rents at The Wadihana, how long units sit empty, and who will buy from you later matter more than the yield figure. I can walk you through all three against your budget and purpose.
What actually gives The Wadihana its value
Only 116 units across 29 storeys, 6 units per floor, one of the lowest-density high-rises in the Johor Bahru city centre
29 storeys with only 6 units per floor. Against projects in the same area that routinely have ten to twenty units per floor, this density is close to unmatched in the Johor Bahru city centre. Units come with full-size bathtubs and large balconies. The site is about 2.9 acres (1.17 hectares) of city centre residential land with a high proportion of green space. Note: there are two versions of the total unit count, 116 and 170, see the risks section.
Layouts from 1,667 to 3,450 sq ft, transacting at RM280–320 psf
Five layouts: Type A 1,890 sq ft (3+2), Type B 1,844 sq ft (3+3), Type C 1,800 sq ft (4+3), Type D 1,667 sq ft (4+3), plus a 3,450 sq ft penthouse (6 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms). At transacted prices of RM280–320 psf, a 1,667 sq ft unit works out at about RM470,000–530,000; in the Johor Bahru city centre that total price usually buys only 700–900 sq ft in a new launch.
A more complete set of facilities than the price band suggests: tennis court, squash court, badminton hall and basketball court
Swimming pool, children's pool, gym, sauna, tennis court, squash court, badminton hall, basketball court, jogging track, barbecue area, sky yoga room, children's playground and covered car park, plus 24-hour security, CCTV and access cards. At a transacted price of RM280 psf, this is one of the highest facility-to-price ratios in Johor Bahru. The drawback is in the risks section: all of it has to be maintained on a maintenance fee of RM0.18 per sq ft.
Freehold, confirmed by five independent sources, with no remaining-term issue
Freehold, consistently confirmed by five sources: iProperty, PropertyGuru, StarProperty, iRumah and DurianProperty. Against the leasehold projects on the same list such as M Condominium, SKS Habitat, Larkin Residence and The Twin Residences, freehold carries a real advantage in loan tenure and long-term holding, as banks will not shorten the loan period because of a remaining lease term.
Sited at the junction of the Tebrau Highway and the inner ring road, directly opposite the Johor state police headquarters
Located at 25 Jalan Mohd Taib, at the junction of the Tebrau Highway and the inner ring road, with Jalan Tun Abdul Razak running straight to the Causeway and CIQ about 3.6 km away by car. The nearest railway station, Danga City Mall station, is only 0.4 km away. The project sits directly opposite the Johor state police headquarters at Bukit Selamat, which StarProperty lists as a security plus. Neighbouring developments The Astaka, Twin Galaxy, TriTower and Suasana are all within 0.6–0.7 km.

Which kind of buyer are you?
Own-stay, investment, or a place for a child at school — the same project is judged on completely different things. Work out which one you are before you look at price.
Owner-occupier families who want space and do not mind the age of the building
At transacted prices of RM280–320 psf, 1,667 sq ft costs about RM470,000–530,000; the same money in a new launch in the Johor Bahru city centre buys only 700–900 sq ft. Six units per floor, a full set of facilities, freehold title. The condition is that you can accept a building of nearly thirty years, the Hindu temple bells and a special levy that could arrive at any time, and that you obtain the management office's financial statements before you buy.
Value buyers who can price in major repairs and are willing to renovate heavily
Asking prices of RM658,000–758,000 against a transacted median of RM498,000 leave one of the widest negotiating margins on this list. But what you are buying is an older building with a maintenance fee of only RM0.18 per sq ft and reserves that are almost certainly inadequate. The sensible approach is to deduct the estimated special levy and the cost of rewiring and replumbing the unit first, then decide on your offer.
Not suitable for: light sleepers or anyone needing a fixed daily routine
A named resident says the Hindu temple bells are a dawn alarm clock every day and worse during festivals, and that they are considering moving out; there are three mosques nearby; and jackhammering runs inside the building from 8:30am to 6pm with the house rules unenforced. These are all fixed conditions that renovation cannot solve. Make sure to arrange viewings at dawn and during a festival period.
Not suitable for: investors chasing rental returns
The yield may be 5.27%, but it is being propped up by softening prices (4.86% a year ago). The tenant pool for units above 1,667 sq ft in Johor Bahru is small, and the noise issue causes tenants to leave. A small development of 116 units carries 21 rental listings (about 18%), so competition to let is not light. The value in this project is in owner-occupation and the land, not in rent.
What I will not hide from you
Every project has weaknesses. An agent not mentioning them does not make them go away — it just means you find out after you have signed. Here is what is actually wrong with this one.
⚠About 28–29 years old, with only one source for the completion year and no traceable developer at all
Completion is given as about 1997 (construction started in 1995), sourced from the history page on the building's own management website, a single source that could not be independently corroborated. All the main portals leave this field blank (iProperty has no such field, PropertyGuru shows "N/A", iRumah records "-NA-"), which is why PropertyGuru displays "Completion 0". Confidence in the developer name is zero: iRumah expressly records "Developer: -NA-", StarProperty skips it entirely, and searching "Wadihana Sdn Bhd" turns up only an unrelated food and beverage company. The practical impact for buyers: this is a high-rise of nearly thirty years where the plumbing, waterproofing, lifts and pumps are all past or approaching their overhaul cycle, and you cannot even establish who built it or whether there is any warranty record.
⚠A maintenance fee of only RM0.18 per sq ft, abnormally low for a building like this
Both StarProperty and DurianProperty record the maintenance fee as RM0.18 per sq ft per month, about RM300 a month for 1,667 sq ft. This building has a swimming pool, children's pool, gym, sauna, tennis court, squash court, badminton hall, basketball court, jogging track and 24-hour security, is already 28–29 years old, and has only 116 units to share the cost. RM0.18 per sq ft is low in Johor Bahru even for an ordinary apartment with no facilities. It is close to certain that the sinking fund has been accumulating inadequately for years. The practical impact for buyers: the ten-year-cycle capital items such as lift overhauls, pump replacement and redoing the facade and waterproofing will be recovered from owners through a special levy when the fund falls short, routinely several thousand to over ten thousand ringgit per unit at a time.
⚠A named resident records jackhammering from 8:30am to 6pm, with house rules not enforced
A Johor Bahru property blogger writing as a resident records on his own site: "Construction goes on quite frequently in the building including jackhammering from 8:30 AM to 6 PM (even though supposedly work is not allowed before 10 AM, that is not enforced even for jackhammering that disturbs 15+ floors)". That says two things: renovation is frequent in an older building (normal, as owners refurbish over time), and the management has set rules but does not enforce them. The practical impact for buyers: weak enforcement carries through to parking discipline, cleanliness of common areas and the pursuit of arrears, and ultimately into your resale price and rent.
⚠Immediately next to a Hindu temple, with bells ringing daily and residents saying the festival periods are unbearable enough to move out
This is the most specific and best corroborated environmental risk at this project. StarProperty's editorial comment states that there is a Hindu temple nearby, that its bells ring daily, and that the noise during festivals is "unbearable for some tenants". A resident confirms this in a blog comment: "agreed. The noise from the Indian Temple is quite loud. The ringing of bells can be quite a getting used to. It is a wake up call for me and family every early morning. It is worst during their special celebration days. Am considering moving out." There are three mosques in the surrounding area, and a nightclub across the railway (reportedly closed, but it may reopen). The practical impact for buyers: tenants leaving because of noise has actually happened at this project, and it is a fixed condition that cannot be changed.
⚠Two versions of the total unit count, 116 and 170, which directly affects your view of density and cost sharing
iProperty, StarProperty, iRumah and DurianProperty all say 116 units; PropertyGuru's project table says 170 units, and the building's own website is also cited for "29 storeys, 170 units". Working from 6 units per floor across 29 storeys, 116 is the more plausible figure, but the discrepancy is unresolved. The practical impact for buyers: 116 units and 170 units sharing the same facilities and lifts are very different experiences, the base for apportioning the maintenance fee differs, and so does your share of any future special levy. The selling point of "ultra-low density at only 6 units per floor" cannot be taken at face value until the numbers are settled.
⚠Rising yields alongside softening prices, plus a listing overhang, indicate a buyer's market
The rental yield has risen from 4.86% a year ago to 5.27% now (a historical high of 6.21% in 2012 and a low of 4.0% in 2018). A rising yield is not good news here: it is the result of prices weakening while rents hold flat. At the same time PropertyGuru carries 14 listings for sale and 21 for rent, which against 116 units is about 12% for sale and 18% for rent, high for a small development. Asking prices of RM658,000–758,000 against a transacted median of RM498,000 show sellers anchoring far above the market.
What else is there around City Centre / RTS Line?
Within one area, big price gaps usually have reasons: tenure, age, density, management. Compare across first, then decide which to look at closely.

What does buying here actually cost in 2026?
From 1 January 2026, stamp duty for foreign buyers of Malaysian residential property rose from 4% to 8%. Johor’s state consent levy rose from 2% to 3% (minimum RM30,000) from July 2025. Together with legal fees, this is the cash you need on top of the purchase price.
| Item | Basis | On RM1,000,000 |
|---|---|---|
| Purchase price | — | RM1,000,000 |
| Stamp duty (foreigner, 8%) | From 1 Jan 2026 | RM80,000 |
| Johor consent levy (3%) | Minimum RM30,000 | RM30,000 |
| Legal fees & disbursements (~1%) | — | ≈ RM10,000 |
| Total on top | — | ≈ RM120,000（12%） |
Johor sets a minimum purchase price for foreigners, and the rules differ between commercial title (serviced apartment / SOHO) and residential title. The Wadihana is Freehold — confirm with your lawyer which regime applies before you place a booking. Get this wrong and the transfer can fail. I can check the title category for this project first.
The 13 questions buyers ask me most
How much does The Wadihana cost on the resale market?
As at September 2026, The Wadihana resale listings run RM815,000 to RM2,280,000, with a mid-market level around RM1,547,500 and transacted PSF of RM352–548. By layout: Standard layout 3+1 bedrooms (1667-3450 sf) RM815,000–RM2,280,000. Within one layout the spread comes from floor, facing and condition — WhatsApp me for the live list.
What are rents and yields at The Wadihana?
Whole-unit rents run RM2,900 – RM4,450 a month. That is a gross yield of about 2.5% – 3.5% — gross, so after maintenance, assessment, quit rent, insurance and vacancy, net yield is typically 0.8–1.2 points lower.
Is The Wadihana freehold, and can foreigners buy?
The Wadihana is Freehold. Foreigners may buy subject to Johor’s minimum purchase price for foreign buyers. Residential title and commercial title (serviced apartment / SOHO) fall under different rules — have your lawyer confirm which applies before booking. From 2026 foreign-buyer stamp duty is 8%, plus Johor’s 3% consent levy (minimum RM30,000).
When was The Wadihana completed and who built it?
The Wadihana was completed in 1997 and is occupied resale stock: 1 block(s), 29 storeys, 116 units. Developer: not on public record. (believed to be an older luxury condominium completed between the late 1990s and early 2000s; on-site verification recommended)
How is transport at The Wadihana, and how far is the checkpoint?
about 1.5–2 km from Bukit Chagar RTS station, roughly a 5–6 minute drive; The official website states under a 10-minute drive to CIQ; Close to Wadi Hassan, the Tebrau Highway and Jalan Tun Abdul Razak
What layouts does The Wadihana have?
1 layout: Standard layout 3+1 bedrooms 1667-3450 sf (4BR). Areas run 1,667 to 3,450 sq ft. I can supply the developer’s official floor plans — WhatsApp me the layout you want to see.
What is the maintenance fee at The Wadihana, and what facilities are there?
This project does not publish its maintenance fee. Across 47 completed Johor Bahru condos the measured range is RM0.22–0.42 per sq ft per month (median about RM0.31); projects completed before 2012 mostly fall in RM0.15–0.31 (typical RM0.25). Note that the two groups’ medians differ by only about RM0.09 and their ranges overlap heavily — roughly one project in seven is an exception — so age alone does not settle the figure. Applied to this page’s 1,667–3,450 sq ft layouts, that works out to roughly RM250 – RM1,070 a month; this is an estimate, not a billed amount. One single September 2026 sale listing quotes RM480 a month for a 1,819 sq ft unit (about RM0.264 psf), but it stands alone with no second source, so it remains unverified. Ask the management office for the latest fee notice and the audited accounts. Facilities include: Badminton hall, Basketball court, Barbecue area, Covered car park, Gymnasium, Jogging track, Landscaped garden, Playground, Sauna, Squash court, Swimming pool, Tennis court, Wading pool, Sky yoga room.
Who is The Wadihana suitable for?
Owner-occupier families seeking very low density (only 6 units per floor) and large luxury layouts; High-net-worth buyers who prioritise privacy; Long-term investors who value scarce low-density supply
What are the risks of buying at The Wadihana?
Old building (exact completion year not yet verified; exterior and facilities may need refurbishment); Developer information is opaque; engage an agent to verify the title and management situation on site; High total price and few units, so liquidity is low; Rental yields are on the low side
What malls, schools and hospitals are near The Wadihana?
Malls: Johor Bahru City Square, Danga City Mall, Plaza Pelangi, Persada Johor International Convention Centre. Schools: Sekolah Kebangsaan Sultan Ibrahim. Hospitals: Hospital Sultanah Aminah.
The Wadihana's developer and completion year cannot be found online at all. Is something wrong?
Nothing is wrong; the records are simply broken. The completion year of about 1997 (construction started in 1995) rests on a single source, the history page on the building's own management website, and could not be independently corroborated; all the main portals leave the field blank (PropertyGuru shows "N/A", which is why the project page displays "Completion 0"). The developer's name cannot be found at all: iRumah expressly records "Developer: -NA-". Circumstantial support comes from the fact that 29 storeys made it "one of the tallest buildings in Johor at the time", consistent with a mid- to late-1990s date. There are only three routes to verification: instruct a lawyer to carry out an SSM company search and a land office search (the master title in Mukim Bandar Johor Bahru), request the original documents from the JMB office, or consult Johor newspaper archives from 1995–1997. A few hundred ringgit will settle it; do not economise here.
The maintenance fee is only RM0.18 per sq ft, about RM300 a month for 1,667 sq ft. Isn't that good value?
Good value in the short term, a time bomb in the long term. This building has a swimming pool, children's pool, gym, sauna, tennis court, squash court, badminton hall, basketball court, jogging track and 24-hour security with CCTV, is 28–29 years old, and has only 116 units to share the cost. RM0.18 per sq ft is low in Johor Bahru even for an ordinary apartment with no facilities. That rate cannot support normal reserve accumulation, which means the ten-year-cycle capital items, lift overhauls, pump replacement, redoing the facade and waterproofing, will be recovered from owners through a special levy, routinely several thousand to over ten thousand ringgit per unit at a time. Before buying, obtain the audited financial statements from the past two years from the management office, check the sinking fund balance and the collection rate, and ask directly whether any special levy has been raised in the past three years and what year the lifts were last overhauled.
Do the Hindu temple bells really affect living here?
Yes, and it is corroborated from more than one source. StarProperty's editorial comment states that there is a Hindu temple nearby whose bells ring daily and whose festival noise is "unbearable for some tenants"; a resident confirms in a comment on the site that "it is a wake up call for me and family every early morning, it is worst during their special celebration days, and I am considering moving out". There are three mosques in the surrounding area and a nightclub across the railway (reportedly closed but it may reopen). In practice the only thing you can do is choose the floor and orientation: a high floor facing away from the temple is considerably better. Make sure to view once at 6–7am, and ideally again around Thaipusam or Deepavali, so that you have experienced the worst case first.
