Amberside @ Country Garden Danga Bay in 30 seconds

Amberside @ Country Garden Danga Bay is a freehold condominium in Danga Bay, Johor Bahru, Malaysia, developed by Country Garden Danga Bay Sdn Bhd (Country Garden) and completed in 2017. It comprises 3 blocks of 32, 47 and 46 storeys (storey counts per CTBUH, not yet corroborated by a second source; KPKT TEDUH registers the scheme by phase — this component sits in FASA 2, CCC issued 5 September 2017; no public unit count at component level). Address: Jalan Bertingkat Skudai, Danga Bay, 81200 Johor Bahru.

Layouts run 407 to 1,474 sq ft across 3 types. As at September 2026, resale listings range RM670,000 – RM2,040,000, with a mid-market level around RM1,110,000; transacted PSF sits at RM480–840 psf. Whole-unit rents are RM1,550 – RM4,200 a month, a gross yield of 4.0% – 5.5%. Maintenance: about RM0.34–0.41 per sq ft per month — per September 2026 sale listings, cross-checked across two different agents: one listing states RM0.34 psf outright (about RM245.48 a month), while a 407 sq ft unit is quoted at RM165 a month (about RM0.41 psf). The listings do not state whether the sinking fund is included.

Transport position: About a 5-8 minute drive to RTS Bukit Chagar

Official median transacted price (historical reference): RM689,000 (694 psf), period 2021 – 2026 (1,630 subsale transactions), source list.my (sourced from NAPIC / JPPH, usually lagging by about 6 months). This is a combined statistic for the whole of "Country Garden Danga Bay", a 57.11-acre development of 41 blocks and 8,500 units (postcode area 80300 Kampung Ah Siang), mixing Amberside, Bay Laurel, Royal Strand, Bay Point, Kings Bay and Lovell together. It cannot be applied directly to Amberside in particular, because Amberside has a large number of 407-510 sq ft small units whose psf structure is completely different from the blocks with larger units. The same page shows the middle 50% of transactions falling between RM574,000 and RM804,000, a core psf range of RM624 – RM764, and a median price change of -1.4% over the past 12 months; transaction volume fell from 740 in 2023 to 418 in 2024, 19 in 2025 and 8 so far in 2026 (NAPIC lags by about six months, so the last two years will be revised upward, but the size of the gap can no longer be explained by the lag alone). For a reference point specific to Amberside, see iRumah: the most commonly transacted combination is 2 bedrooms / 699 sq ft at a recent median of about RM700 psf; the most expensive is 1 bedroom / 409 sq ft at about RM860 psf; the cheapest is 3 bedrooms / 1,216 sq ft at about RM560 psf. 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.

Where these numbers come from

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: RM400–700 psf; this page uses RM480–840 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.

Official Floor Plans

Official drawings for all 3 layouts — I request them for you

Most floor plans circulating online have been redrawn by agents, cropped so the dimensions are gone, or belong to a different project entirely. I only pass on the developer’s own drawings — real millimetre dimensions, room names and orientation, so you can check them against the unit itself.

📐
Why the plan comes before the viewing

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.

Tell me the layout — I’ll send the listings with it

Rental & Yield

Rents: RM1,550 to RM4,200 a month

Whole-unit gross yield runs about 4.0% – 5.5%. That is gross — before maintenance, assessment, quit rent, insurance and vacancy. Net yield typically lands 0.8 to 1.2 percentage points below this.

Why This Project

What actually gives Amberside @ Country Garden Danga Bay its value

01
✔

Starting from 407 sq ft, the lowest entry point of any block in the development

iRumah records Amberside's built-up range as 407 to 1,226 sq ft, and listings on iProperty in September 2026 start at about RM372,500, with a 407 sq ft one-bedroom listed at RM349,999. Bay Laurel and Royal Strand in the same development both start at 816 sq ft, with total prices essentially above RM460,000. For anyone with a budget capped at RM350,000-450,000 who still wants a waterfront location and freehold title, this block is the only way into the development.

02
✔

One block covering everything from studios to four-bedrooms, giving a wider buyer pool than a single-layout project

From studios and open-plan units of 407, 466, 469, 484 and 510 sq ft, to two-bedrooms of 667, 699, 700, 786, 840, 875 and 882 sq ft, up to three-bedrooms of 1,186, 1,216, 1,232 and 1,292 sq ft and a 1,474 sq ft four-bedroom, all in the same block, with the same facilities and the same management. In theory that means a wider range of buyer types at resale than a single-layout project, and at letting you can address single tenants and family tenants at the same time.

03
✔

Freehold, completed 2017-2018, with physical units you can view and inspect

PropertyGuru records the completion year as 2017 and iRumah puts it at about 2018; freehold. The most practical benefit of a building handed over years ago is that leaks, mould, wiring, water pressure, lift waiting times and car park discipline can all be verified with your own eyes before you pay a deposit. Given this development's history of common-area defects (see the risks section), this is homework you must do, not homework you may do.

04
✔

Beletime mall downstairs, so a small-unit tenant's daily radius can be kept to walking distance

Beletime Danga Bay, within the same development, occupies the ground floor of Bay Point, with 35,000 square metres of phase one lettable area. Its official tenant directory includes AEON, AEON Wellness, Health Lane pharmacy, Mr. D.I.Y., Daiso, Miniso, the Womei cinema (1,162 seats) and 6 food and beverage outlets, open daily 10:00-22:00, with a 400-metre man-made white sand beach beside the mall. For a single tenant without a car, this density of amenities directly determines whether they rent – but see the risks section for how densely the mall is actually trading.

🏊 Facilities

  • Business centre
  • Swimming pool

The Neighbourhood

What is actually within reach

Location decides who rents from you and how easily you resell. Each distance below is labelled by how it was obtained; straight-line estimates say so — real walking routes detour around roads and overpasses and typically run 30–50% longer.

Who It Suits

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.

1

First-time buyers with a budget of RM350,000-450,000 who want a freehold waterfront title

Buying a 407-510 sq ft studio or open-plan unit, mainly for own occupation

This is the only option in the whole Country Garden Danga Bay development that you can enter for under RM400,000, freehold, with AEON and a cinema downstairs. The precondition is that you understand this: the psf on small units runs as high as RM860-895, and at resale buyers will compare it against the RM460-560 psf large units in the same block. Suited to people who genuinely intend to live there and do not plan to sell within three to five years, not to anyone treating it as a short-term capital growth play.

2

Families who need a large area but can only afford a low total price

Budget RM550,000-700,000, buying a 1,186-1,292 sq ft three-bedroom

Amberside's large units run at only RM460-490 psf, and a 1,292 sq ft three-bedroom is listed at RM598,000, which is at the low end for the Johor Bahru waterfront strip. The cost is liquidity: the whole development recorded only 19 transactions in 2025, and there are another 212 units for sale in the same block. Suited to people certain they will live there long term and able to accept a paper loss; if you might need to realise the asset within three to five years, the exit cost here will be high.

3

Not suitable for: anyone working backwards from daily or short-let cash flow to justify the monthly instalment

Any model in which Airbnb or short-let income supports the monthly instalment

Amberside has a dense supply of small units and a fair amount of short-let and room-by-room stock, but the Federal Court's Verve Suites decision confirms that a management corporation can ban short-term letting outright with a single vote at a general meeting, and national short-term rental legislation has still not been enacted. Add the competition from 424 rental listings in the same block, and long-term rents cannot be pushed up either. The risk to this model here is not "a slightly lower return", it is "zero at any time".

4

Not suitable for: buyers who pay a deposit without a building inspection and a title search

Anyone looking to save on conveyancing and inspection fees

The key risks in this project are in the documents and in the structure: whether the strata title has been issued, who the management corporation is, the current state of common-area defects, whether utilities are charged at serviced apartment or residential rates, and whether any special levy is outstanding. None of that is visible to the naked eye on a viewing day. Anyone unwilling to pay for these two items should not buy here.

Risks & Trade-offs

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.

⚠Small units run at almost double the psf of large units; buy the wrong size and you are stuck at resale

Look at the Amberside listings on iProperty in September 2026: a 407 sq ft one-bedroom at RM360,000 works out to RM884.52 psf, and a 469 sq ft unit at RM420,000 to RM895.52 psf; at the same time a 1,292 sq ft three-bedroom at RM598,000 works out to only RM462.85 psf. iRumah's recent medians show the same structure: 1 bedroom / 409 sq ft at about RM860 psf, 3 bedrooms / 1,216 sq ft at about RM560 psf. What this actually means for you: the psf premium on small units rests on "low total price, easy to let", and once rents fall the psf will revert towards the level of the larger units, a drop starting at 30%.

✓ Work out the actual psf for the size you are buying, then compare it against transactions in the same block, the same size and the past 12 months; do not compare psf against units of a different size. At the same time, ask your lending bank for an indicative valuation and see whether the bank accepts that psf.

⚠Several auction properties have already appeared in the same block, with reserve prices pulling the market down to RM386 psf

iProperty carries an 883 sq ft Amberside unit marked as an auction lot at RM341,170, or RM386.38 psf; iRumah separately records an 883 sq ft unit at RM468,000 on 22 June 2026, an 883 sq ft unit at RM520,000 on 18 May 2026, and a 667 sq ft unit at RM360,000 on 1 July 2025, all auction lots. What this actually means for you: auction reserve prices enter the reference pool for the bank's valuation, so if you buy at RM600-700 psf the valuation may not match and you will have to make up the difference in cash; and the more auctions in the same block, the more it indicates that owners here are generally under cash flow strain.

✓ Before buying, search "Amberside" and "Country Garden Danga Bay" on list.my or the auction house platforms, and see how many units have gone into auction proceedings over the past two years and at what reserve prices. Then use those reserve prices as the floor reference for your offer – rather than treating the asking price as the ceiling.

⚠424 rental listings chasing the same tenants; the 4.84% yield on paper is not a figure you will achieve

PropertyGuru shows 212 units for sale and 424 for rent at Amberside, with rental listings running at more than three times Bay Laurel (135) in the same development. Pricing on the iRumah listings has already broken down: some 500 sq ft units are asking RM550 and others RM1,000; 1,200 sq ft units run anywhere from RM700 to RM3,000. iRumah puts the block's 2025 rental yield at about 4.84%, but that is calculated from asking prices and asking rents, with no deduction for maintenance fees and no allowance for vacancy. What this actually means for you: the true net yield will be markedly lower, and you must accept either long vacancies or cutting the rent to secure a tenant.

✓ Recalculate your cash flow on the basis of 3 months of vacancy, a further 15% cut in rent, and maintenance fee and assessment still payable, and see whether it still covers the monthly instalment. Also ask the management office or the JMB for the block's current actual occupancy rate; do not rely on the figure an agent quotes.

⚠NAPIC registers this development as "serviced apartments", so utilities and assessment may be charged at commercial rates

In the NAPIC data on list.my, 1,629 of the 1,630 Country Garden Danga Bay transactions are registered as Serviced Apt (serviced apartment), and units here are also listed on PropertyGuru and iProperty under the Service Residence type. Serviced apartments in Malaysia are usually built on commercially zoned land, so electricity is charged at commercial rates and both the minimum monthly water charge and the assessment are higher than for residential. The practical impact on small-unit buyers is particularly large: the rental base is low, so the extra fixed monthly outgoings come straight out of the net yield and may consume half a month's rent over a year. No public source could be found for the rates actually levied on this project, so you must verify it yourself.

✓ Ask the seller for the last 3 months of TNB electricity bills, the water bills and the most recent assessment bill, and check carefully whether the header states residential or commercial rates. If it is commercial and the unit is purely for own stay, ask the management office / JMB whether it has applied collectively to TNB to convert to the residential tariff.

⚠A dense supply of small units means plenty of short-let stock, and the management corporation can ban all of it with a single vote

Amberside has a large number of 407-510 sq ft studios and open-plan units, and iRumah shows both room-by-room lettings (Room, RM1,450 per month) and whole-unit short-let listings; the cash flow model for these layouts is usually built on daily or short-term letting. The legal risk is structural: in Innab Salil & Ors v Verve Suites Mont' Kiara Management Corporation (2020) the Federal Court held that a management corporation may impose a blanket prohibition on short-term letting by by-law, and that this does not contravene section 70(5) of the Strata Management Act 2013; national short-term rental legislation has still not been enacted. What this actually means for you: if your monthly instalment depends on daily-rate income, that income can be reduced to zero at any time by a single vote at a general meeting.

✓ Before buying, obtain the current house rules / by-laws and confirm whether any short-let restriction is in place, and ask the management office whether anyone tabled a motion to ban short-term letting at the most recent general meeting. At the same time, first calculate your cash flow on a long-term-letting-only basis.

⚠The same developer is being sued by owners in the same development, and Amberside's title and management corporation status cannot be established

In February 2023 the JMBs of Royal Strand and Lovell, in the same development, filed suit against Country Garden Danga Bay Sdn Bhd, alleging shoddy workmanship and substandard materials; the JMB says 27 letters sent between 2018 and 2022 brought no rectification and that it spent RM700,245 of its own funds repairing leaking water tanks, faulty wiring and blocked sewerage systems. The developer denies this and obtained a stay pending appeal on 10 August 2026. Amberside is not a plaintiff, but it shares the same developer and the same completion period, and its defect liability period expired back in 2019-2020. Whether Amberside's own strata title has been issued and whether an MC has been formed cannot be established from public sources, and this file does not speculate.

✓ Before signing, have your conveyancing lawyer carry out a land search to confirm whether the strata title has been issued and whether the developer has any undischarged charge or encumbrance; at your own cost engage an independent building inspection firm to test for leaks, check the distribution circuits and measure water pressure; and ask the management office for the block's common-area maintenance records over the past two years and the sinking fund balance.

For Foreign Buyers

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.

Amberside's 407 sq ft studios cost RM860-895 psf and the large units only RM460-490 psf – why such a difference, and is it worth buying?

This is a general feature of small units: the total price is low, so the price per square foot is higher, and the premium comes from "it lets easily and the entry price is low" rather than from the asset itself. iRumah's recent medians show 1 bedroom / 409 sq ft at about RM860 psf and 3 bedrooms / 1,216 sq ft at about RM560 psf; on iProperty a 407 sq ft unit is listed at RM360,000 (RM884.52 psf) and a 1,292 sq ft unit at RM598,000 (RM462.85 psf). The risk is that once rents move down, the psf on small units will revert towards the level of the larger units. If you are going to buy, first confirm that you can accept living there long term rather than reselling short term, and ask the bank for a valuation to see whether it accepts the price.

There are auction properties in the same block – how does that affect me buying an ordinary subsale unit?

It does, and directly. An 883 sq ft Amberside auction lot on iProperty is priced at RM341,170, or RM386.38 psf; iRumah separately records an 883 sq ft unit at RM468,000 on 22 June 2026, an 883 sq ft unit at RM520,000 on 18 May 2026 and a 667 sq ft unit at RM360,000 on 1 July 2025, all auction lots. These figures enter the reference pool for the bank's valuation, so if you buy at RM650-700 psf the loan may fall short and you will have to make up the difference in cash. Before buying, ask your lending bank for an indicative valuation first, and then negotiate.

I have seen the same unit appear online under Amberside, Bay Laurel and Royal Strand at the same time – what is going on?

Agents are cross-listing the same units under different blocks. Comparing the three iRumah project pages shows the same batch of listings appearing under all three names on the same day: 900 sq ft at RM470,000 (recorded as RM469,997 under Royal Strand), 1,200 sq ft at RM3,000 per month, and 500 sq ft at RM550 per month. The same happens on iProperty, where an 882 sq ft unit at RM570,000 (RM646.26 psf) and a 1,474 sq ft unit at RM700,000 (RM474.90 psf) are listed under both Amberside and Bay Laurel. The result is that the "Amberside market" you are looking at has units from other blocks mixed into it. When you see a listing you like, first ask the agent for the block and floor, then check the actual name of that block; and negotiate only on the basis of transactions in the same block, the same size and the past 12 months.
