Why buyers look here

Six reasons buyers shortlist The WaterEdge

This is a finished building, not a render. You can see, walk and feel exactly what you are buying.

🔍

You can inspect what you are buying

The towers were completed in 2016 and 2018. You can stand in the actual unit, look out of the actual window, walk the corridor and see the car park bay before you sign. Off-plan buyers elsewhere in Johor are still working from a brochure.

⚓

A marina, not a marina-themed render

Senibong Cove has a working marina — the developer publishes 100 berths for vessels up to 22 metres. The WaterEdge sits directly on it, looking across Sungai Lunchoo and the Straits of Johor toward Singapore.

📜

Freehold, on reclaimed waterfront

The whole township is freehold. On the east coast of Johor Bahru, where a lot of newer waterfront stock is leasehold or on state land, permanent title widens the pool of buyers you can resell to later.

🛗

Two apartments per floor

The developer designed the high-rise block at two units per floor, each served by its own private lift lobby. That is a very different corridor experience from a 1,000-unit tower with twelve doors off a single landing.

🏗️

The township kept building around it

Isola Coast, Waterway Peaks and Hillview are all under construction or newly launched in the same township. Living in a completed block inside a township that is still growing means amenities, neighbours and demand keep building around you.

📋

Completed and certified, tower by tower

Each tower and the landed phase holds its certificate of completion and compliance — Towers A and B in 2016, Tower C in 2018 and the Residences in 2012. No construction wait, no completion risk.

The WaterEdge Residences

Senibong Cove’s first phase and the reason the name causes confusion: 244 landed homes, not apartments. They comprise 74 terrace, 80 semi-detached, 10 two-and-a-half-storey semi-detached and 80 cluster units, all signed off on 5 December 2012. The developer lists them as sold out; anything you see for sale is a subsale.

Investment & own-stay highlights

Why buy The WaterEdge @ Senibong Cove? Key benefits for investors and homeowners

The WaterEdge @ Senibong Cove is a completed freehold marina-front development by Senibong Cove Development (WM Senibong) at Teluk Senibong, Permas Jaya, Johor Bahru, with 655 apartments of 624–4,833 sq ft in three towers completed in 2016 and 2018, plus 244 landed homes. Here is what makes it stand out — whether you are buying to rent out or to live in.

🔑

Completed — move in or let out now

All three towers hold certificates of completion (2016 and 2018). You can view the actual unit, the view and the car park before you buy, and start living in it or earning rent right away.

⚓

Directly on a working marina

The WaterEdge sits on Senibong Cove’s 100-berth marina for vessels up to 22 m, looking across Sungai Lunchoo and the Straits of Johor towards Singapore.

📜

Freehold title, open to foreign buyers

The whole township is freehold. Larger Tower C layouts, duplexes and penthouses clear Johor’s RM1,000,000 strata minimum, so Singaporean and other foreign buyers can apply with state consent.

🛗

Two apartments per floor, private lifts

Each apartment has its own private lift lobby with swipe-card access — a quiet, exclusive corridor experience inside a double-gated secure precinct.

🏊

Resort facilities plus township amenities

A resort-style pool, tennis court, gym, playgrounds and crèche inside the precinct, plus the township clubhouse, retail village, 2 km boardwalk and Central, Entry, Beach, Mangroves and Island Parks.

🚗

Two minutes to Permas Jaya, 12 km to the CIQ

The developer puts Permas Jaya town two minutes away, JB city centre ten minutes via the East Coast Highway, and the Causeway and JB CIQ 12 km away.

Track record

About Senibong Cove Development and WM Senibong

The developer is Senibong Cove Development Sdn Bhd (199501039013 / 368215-X), with its office at Blok N, Pinggiran Senibong, 1 Persiaran Senibong, Teluk Senibong, 81750 Masai. It sits under WM Senibong Berhad (199301021876 / 276614-P), a joint venture between Walker Group Holdings Pty Ltd — the Australian Walker Corporation — and Sigma Senibina Sdn Bhd.

Walker Corporation is the relevant credential here. Senibong Cove is built on reclaimed land and organised around a marina, a boardwalk and a clubhouse, which is recognisably the same masterplanned-waterfront playbook Walker has run in Australia. The township started in 2008 and the first homes were handed over in 2012, so there is now a fourteen-year delivery record on one site rather than a brochure promise.

The Star reported in October 2025 that the group has delivered roughly 1,600 homes worth about RM1.8 billion at Senibong Cove since 2010, against a total township GDV near RM7 billion, and that it was weighing an equity fundraising or listing. The group’s other townships are Crest@Austin, The Kews at Iskandar Puteri and Centennial ParcVista.

Straight answers

Frequently asked questions about The WaterEdge @ Senibong Cove

Is The WaterEdge @ Senibong Cove completed?

Yes — all three towers are completed. Certificates of completion and compliance were issued for Tower A on 4 February 2016, Tower B on 30 April 2016 and Tower C on 3 May 2018. The landed phase, The WaterEdge Residences, was signed off on 5 December 2012.

That means you can view the actual unit, move in or let it out straight away.

How many units are there at The WaterEdge @ Senibong Cove?

655 apartments across three towers — 195 in Tower A, 195 in Tower B and 265 in Tower C. Towers A and B are 28 storeys each and Tower C is 30.

Separately, The WaterEdge Residences is a landed phase of 244 homes: 74 terrace, 80 semi-detached, 10 two-and-a-half-storey semi-detached and 80 cluster units.

Is The WaterEdge freehold?

Yes. Senibong Cove is a freehold township, and the WaterEdge apartments are freehold strata title. The landed homes in the Residences phase are on individual title.

Freehold title means no lease decay to price in on resale, and a wider pool of future buyers.

What unit sizes and layouts does The WaterEdge have?

Tower C publishes nine layouts: Type B2 at 624 sq ft (1+1 bedroom), C1 and C4 at 926 sq ft (2 bedroom), D1 at 1,087 sq ft and D2 at 1,098 sq ft (2+1), A2 at 1,184 sq ft (2+1), B1a to B1f between 1,647 and 1,776 sq ft (3+1), A1 at 1,894 sq ft (3+1) and B4 at 4,495 sq ft (4+1).

Towers A and B publish three: Duplex B at 2,465 sq ft, Duplex A at 2,706 sq ft and penthouses A, B and C at 4,833 sq ft. WhatsApp me for the floor plan of any layout.

Can a foreigner or a Singaporean buy at The WaterEdge?

Yes, above the price floor. Johor sets a minimum purchase price of RM1,000,000 for a non-citizen buying strata property, and state consent is required. The larger Tower C layouts, the duplexes and the penthouses are the natural fit for foreign buyers.

Budget two costs on top of the price. The Johor foreign buyer levy, raised on 1 July 2025 to 3% of the purchase price or RM30,000, whichever is higher, with a higher minimum of RM50,000 where a serviced residence transacts below RM1 million. And the flat 8% stamp duty on transfer applied to non-citizens since 1 January 2026. Send me your nationality and the unit, and I will work the full figure.

What is the difference between WaterEdge Residences and WaterEdge Apartments?

The Residences is the landed phase — terrace, semi-detached and cluster houses, 244 of them, completed in 2012 and long sold out by the developer. The Apartments is the high-rise part: three towers, 655 units, completed between 2016 and 2018.

They share a name and a waterfront but they are entirely different products with different titles, different maintenance arrangements and different buyer pools.

Is The WaterEdge good to buy for rental or own stay?

Yes — it is a completed marina-front address you can live in or let out straight away.

Layouts run from a 624 sq ft one-plus-one to 4,833 sq ft penthouses, with two apartments per floor and private lift lobbies. Tell me your budget and plan and I will send the current sale and rental options for the same tower.

Can I still buy from the developer?

Yes — the developer still lists limited remaining stock in Tower C and one remaining unit in Towers A and B.

Developer stock in a completed building is often worth a look, because the units held back are often the ones with the better view lines. WhatsApp me for the latest price list and I will arrange a viewing of the actual unit.

What facilities does The WaterEdge have?

Inside the precinct: a resort-style swimming pool, tennis court, gymnasium, multipurpose common room, playgrounds, a crèche, on-site shopping and visitor greeting lobbies, behind a double-gated entry with electronic swipe-card access to the lift lobby and the apartment door.

The township adds a marina the developer describes as 100 berths for vessels up to 22 metres, a clubhouse of about 2,300 square metres, a retail village, a two-kilometre boardwalk and a set of parks including Central, Entry, Beach, Mangroves and Island Parks. Senibong Cove holds provisional GreenRE Platinum.

What is the maintenance fee at The WaterEdge?

WhatsApp me for the current figure. I get the maintenance charge, sinking fund rate and floor plans directly from the management office and the developer’s sales team.

Tell me the tower and unit size you are considering and I will send what is current.

Want to view a WaterEdge unit?

Tell me the tower and the size you want and I will arrange a viewing, send the latest price list for the same block, and get you the maintenance fee and title details before you decide.
