Dynasty View Sdn Bhd is a wholly-owned subsidiary of United Malayan Land Bhd (UMLand), set up to develop the 500-acre Taman Seri Austin township in Johor. UMLand has been building for over 20 years, employs more than 500 people, and keeps offices in Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, Johor and Singapore; its work includes Bandar Seri Alam, Suasana Iskandar Malaysia and Somerset Puteri Harbour in Johor Bahru, and Star Residences and Suasana Bangsar in KL. IRDA named Seri Austin Iskandar's first “Smart Healthy Township” in 2014, and it has taken a Noble Excellence Award (2016) and TIMA awards (2016/17). Handover and township upkeep have a decent local reputation — but UMLand is no longer a listed company, so its finances and project progress are less transparent than Main Market developers such as Mah Sing or S P Setia.

3 layouts, from 807 to 1,033 sq ft
The table shows the current resale price band and rent band for each layout. Mid-market sits around RM492,500, the top of market reaches RM635,000 — within one layout the spread comes down to floor, facing and condition.
| Layout | Area | Bed / Bath | Resale price band | PSF | Monthly rent |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Type A (2 bed, 2 bath) | 807 sf | 2BR · 2 bath | RM445,000 – RM540,000 | RM551–669 | RM2,150 – 2,750 |
| Type B (1 master + 1 bed, 2 bath) | 861 sf | 2BR · 2 bath | RM445,000 – RM540,000 | RM517–627 | RM2,150 – 2,750 |

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: RM450–558 psf; this page uses RM540–670 psf. The official historical median is shown separately at the top of the page for trend.
Corrected as at 5 September 2026. Actual prices still depend on floor, facing, condition and negotiation; nothing here is an offer.

What D'Lagoon @ Taman Seri Austin 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 United Malayan Land Bhd (UMLand)'s Seri Austin site seriaustin.com (Wayback archive); copyright UMLand.
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.
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.
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: RM2,150 to RM3,000 a month
Whole-unit gross yield runs about 4.1% – 6.9%. 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 D'Lagoon @ Taman Seri Austin, 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 D'Lagoon @ Taman Seri Austin its value
Six units per floor, 262 homes in total — the low density is verifiable
The developer's own material and EdgeProp's project page agree: 6.56 acres, two 20-storey towers holding 204 serviced apartments, plus 58 three-storey landed strata villas, for 262 homes in total, with only six apartments per floor. What that buys you in practice is one or two lifts serving six doors — you are not waiting for the third lift at 8am — low pressure on parking bays, and a management office handling far fewer disputes. Comparable Johor Bahru projects in this price band routinely carry 800 to 1,200 units. This is the one advantage here that time cannot dilute.
Freehold, and the developer describes it as a residential strata title
The developer's write-up published by The Iskandarian in December 2021 lists "freehold residential strata land title" among the project's features. That matters more than it sounds. A great many Johor Bahru buildings marketed as serviced apartments actually sit on commercial-use land, which means residents pay commercial utility tariffs and higher assessment rates — a difference of tens to a couple of hundred ringgit every month, forever. If D'Lagoon is genuinely on a residential title, holding costs are meaningfully lower. But every property portal still classifies it as a Service Residence, so have your lawyer confirm the actual land use on the title at the land office. Do not rely on the brochure.
Only three official layouts, and the sizes are honest
Type A is 2 bed 2 bath at 807 sq ft, Type B is 1 master plus 1 bedroom with 2 baths at 861 sq ft, and Type C is 3 bed 2 bath at 1,033 sq ft. The villas are separate at 2,796 sq ft, 5 bed 4 bath. Those figures agree across The Edge's 2017 launch report, EdgeProp's project page and the developer's own 2021 release. Worth flagging: iProperty's project page lists 826 / 874 / 1,053 sq ft — about 20 sq ft more on each — which is a portal data-entry error. Actual listings and sale agreements use 807 / 861 / 1,033. Price off the SPA floor plan, not the portal.
The township is genuinely built out, not a promise
Taman Seri Austin is a 500-acre freehold township UMLand has been developing since 2005. By the time The Edge reported on it in 2017 it was 75% developed with a population of roughly 30,000. Inside it are a 36-hole golf and country resort, two parks gazetted as smoke-free, Johor's first purpose-built cycling lanes and Riders' Point, and it was the first township in the state to sign with Telekom Malaysia for high-speed broadband across all homes. IRDA named it the first Smart Healthy City and Communities township in Iskandar Malaysia in 2014. What surrounds this project already exists.

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.
🚉 Getting around

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.
Malaysian citizens or PRs working in Singapore who are willing to drive across
This is precisely who the developer said it was targeting at launch — UMLand Seri Austin's CEO named "locals working in Singapore" in his 2017 interview. Freehold, low density and a built-out township make this a sensible long-term home rather than a short trade. Do the commute test yourself though: drive it once at 6:30am and once at 7pm. Do not make this decision on midday traffic.
Local upgraders who want three bedrooms without living in a 1,000-unit block
At 1,033 sq ft, three bedrooms and two baths is a genuinely usable layout for this price band in Johor Bahru, and with only six units per floor you are not competing for lifts or parking. This suits a family that already owns an older apartment, wants a lower-density environment, and has no intention of flipping within three to five years. The condition is that you accept the thin transaction market — buy it to live in, not to resell quickly.
Local investors funding the mortgage from rent — with vacancy priced in
On current asking figures, gross yield works out somewhere between roughly 4.1% and 6.9%. That band is uselessly wide, and the reason is the point: both asking prices and asking rents at this project are extremely dispersed. Whether it actually works comes down to your entry price and your real vacancy. Buy below RM480 psf and hold a tenant at RM2,200 or better and the numbers stand up for a local investor. Overpay, or sit empty for more than two months, and they do not.
Not suitable for: anyone banking on a foreign buyer exit
Johor's minimum purchase price for foreigners is RM1 million and every apartment here is below it, so foreign buyers are legally excluded. Johor also raised the state consent levy on foreign acquisitions from 2% to 3% (minimum RM30,000) from July 2025, and non-citizens pay 8% stamp duty on transfer from 2026. Your exit pool is Malaysian citizens and permanent residents, and local affordability is the ceiling.
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.
⚠There are no transaction records, so valuation and financing have nothing to anchor to
This is the most practical problem with the project today. EdgeProp's D'Lagoon page shows the 48-month sold price range and median as RM0 psf, historical high and low blank, implied rental yield 0%. brickz.my has no page for the project at all — it does carry Seri Austin Residence, but that is a different development in the same township, so do not confuse the two. No transaction history hits your wallet twice. First, the bank's valuer has no comparables and tends to come in conservative, which means you may need to find extra cash to cover the loan margin shortfall. Second, when you come to sell, you will have no settled price to argue from either, and your buyer will simply quote you the cheapest listing on the portal.
⚠The same layout is being asked at anywhere from RM370k to RM550k
From actual PropertyGuru listings in September 2026: identical 807 sq ft two-bedroom units listed at RM370,000 (RM458 psf), RM395,000 (RM489 psf), RM450,000 (RM558 psf) and RM550,000 (RM682 psf). Same building, same layout, a spread of nearly RM180,000. That kind of dispersion is what you see when a project has no transaction volume and therefore no price consensus. The consequence for you is blunt: buy at the top of that range and you have handed the seller the next five to eight years of capital growth up front, and selling in the interim is close to a guaranteed loss.
⚠Asking rents are drifting down, and vacancy is a real cost
Among current listings, 1,033 sq ft three-bedroom units are being offered at RM2,500 and also at RM1,800; two-bedroom units at 999 to 1,001 sq ft range from RM1,800 to RM2,300. A spread of over 30% within one building is usually not about layout — it is landlords cutting to fill a gap. On a RM500,000 three-bedroom at RM2,200 a month, every vacant month costs roughly 0.44 percentage points of annual gross yield; three vacant months turn a 5.3% paper yield into under 4.0%. Meanwhile new apartment supply around Mount Austin and Bandar Dato' Onn keeps arriving, so tenants have plenty of alternatives and you will not be the only landlord waiting.
⚠Foreigners cannot buy here, so your exit pool is Malaysians only
Johor sets a RM1 million minimum purchase price for foreigners buying residential property (the Medini exemption does not apply here). D'Lagoon apartments are listed between roughly RM350,000 and RM550,000, entirely below that floor, so Singaporeans and other foreign buyers are legally excluded. On top of that, Johor raised the state consent levy on foreign acquisitions from 2% to 3% (minimum RM30,000) with effect from July 2025, and non-citizen buyers pay a flat 8% stamp duty on transfer from January 2026. The upshot: your future buyer will be a Malaysian citizen or permanent resident, and local household income is the ceiling on this project's price.
⚠The maintenance charge is undisclosed, and 262 homes carry a full facilities deck
The developer's material says "guaranteed low maintenance and utility charges" but has never published a rate per square foot, and no figure is available from any public source. On a low-density project this deserves extra care. An infinity pool, sky deck, glass gymnasium, games room, multi-purpose hall, basketball court, jogging track, 24-hour security patrols and perimeter fencing all have to be funded — and the bill is split across 262 homes, not one or two thousand. Fewer units carrying more facilities means a structurally higher per-unit cost. The building is now more than five years past completion, so the first major replacement cycle for pumps, lifts and cooling towers is approaching.

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.

| Purchase price | — | RM1,000,000 |
| Stamp duty (foreigner, 8%) | From 1 Jan 2026 | RM80,000 |

When was D'Lagoon @ Taman Seri Austin completed and who built it?
D’Lagoon @ Taman Seri Austin was completed in 2021 and is occupied resale stock: 2 block(s), 20 storeys, 204 units. Developer: Dynasty View Sdn Bhd (part of United Malayan Land Bhd, UMLand). Dynasty View Sdn Bhd is a wholly-owned subsidiary of United Malayan Land Bhd (UMLand), set up to develop the 500-acre Taman Seri Austin township in Johor. UMLand has been building for over 20 years, employs more than 500 people, and keeps offices in Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, Johor and Singapore; its work includes Bandar Seri Alam, Suasana Iskandar Malaysia and Somerset Puteri Harbour in Johor Bahru, and Star Residences and Suasana Bangsar in KL. IRDA named Seri Austin Iskandar’s first “Smart Healthy Township” in 2014, and it has taken a Noble Excellence Award (2016) and TIMA awards (2016/17). Handover and township upkeep have a decent local reputation — but UMLand is no longer a listed company, so its finances and project progress are less transparent than Main Market developers such as Mah Sing or S P Setia.
How is transport at D'Lagoon @ Taman Seri Austin, and how far is the checkpoint?
No measured figure published. Derived from the developer’s own “13 km from Johor Bahru city centre”, Bukit Chagar RTS station is roughly 13 km away; treat this as derived, not measured.; The Causeway CIQ (Bangunan Sultan Iskandar) sits in the same city centre, so roughly 13 km on the developer’s own stated distance.

What is the maintenance fee at D'Lagoon @ Taman Seri Austin, and what facilities are there?
Maintenance is about Not yet verified. The developer’s marketing promises “low maintenance and utility charges” but has never published a psf rate — ask the management office directly for the current schedule and the sinking-fund balance. (confirm with the management office). Facilities include: Infinity pool facing the lake, Sky Deck, with sky garden and sky lounge, Glass-walled gym, Games room, Multi-purpose hall and clubhouse, Jogging track, Barbecue terrace, Basketball court, Children’s playground, Kindergarten, Pre-wired for HSBB broadband and ASTRO, Five-tier security: guarded entry, perimeter fencing, CCTV linked to the guardhouse, 24-hour patrols, access cards, Low density — only six units per floor.
Who is D'Lagoon @ Taman Seri Austin suitable for?
Malaysian citizens and PRs working in Singapore who accept driving across — the buyers the developer originally aimed at; Local upgraders on a RM400,000–550,000 budget who want freehold title and low density (six units a floor); Owner-occupiers who want a usable three-bedroom (1,033 sq ft) without living in a thousand-unit block, and who care about not queueing for a lift
What are the risks of buying at D'Lagoon @ Taman Seri Austin?
The resale record is close to empty. EdgeProp’s project page shows median transacted price, transacted range and rental yield all N/A over the past 48 months, and brickz.my has no page for this project at all. With no transacted anchor, valuers and banks tend to come in conservative — be ready to cover a shortfall in cash.; Asking prices for the same layout are wildly apart: the same 807 sq ft unit is listed anywhere from RM370,000 to RM550,000 (RM458–682 psf). Buy at the top and you have paid the next few years of growth up front.; Asking rents are scattered too: the 1,033 sq ft three-bedroom is listed at RM2,500 by one owner and RM1,800 by another in the same period (EdgeProp/PropertyGuru). Asking rents drifting downward usually means real vacancy runs longer than expected — each empty month costs roughly 0.4–0.5 percentage points off the annual gross yield.; Johor’s foreign-buyer floor is RM1 million (Medini excepted), and units here sit far below it — so Singaporeans and other foreign buyers essentially cannot buy in. Your resale pool is Malaysian citizens and PRs only, which caps exit liquidity.

Those three numbers are identical across The Edge's 2017 launch report, EdgeProp's project page, and the developer's own release published by The Iskandarian in 2021, and actual PropertyGuru listings use 807 and 1,033 too. iProperty's project page shows 826 / 874 / 1,053 — about 20 sq ft more on each — which is a portal data-entry error. Negotiate off the SPA floor plan and the area on the strata title, not off a portal figure.
Are D'Lagoon and Seri Austin Residence the same thing?
No, and this is the mix-up Johor Bahru buyers make most often. Both sit inside UMLand's Taman Seri Austin township and both were developed by Dynasty View, but they are separate projects: Seri Austin Residence (Pangsapuri Seri Austin) has transaction records on brickz.my, while D'Lagoon has none. When an agent shows you "comparable transactions in the area", check which project name is actually on the record. Pricing D'Lagoon off Seri Austin Residence transactions will give you the wrong number.
Do the 58 landed villas inside the project affect me if I buy an apartment?
Yes, and you need to keep them straight. Alongside the two 20-storey towers holding 204 serviced apartments, D'Lagoon includes 58 three-storey landed strata villas of 2,796 sq ft with 5 bedrooms and 4 baths. They share the same address and some common facilities, so when you see a PropertyGuru listing reading "D'Lagoon, RM4,800/month, 1,586 sq ft", that is a villa, not an apartment — do not use it as a rental benchmark for your unit. By the same token, online references to D'Lagoon "from RM968,800" refer to the villas; the apartments launched from RM491,800.
Which street address is correct for D'Lagoon?
The developer and its sales gallery use Jalan Seri Austin 3/56; some portal listings show Jalan Seri Austin 3/59. Both refer to the same project — it is a portal data-entry inconsistency. For the sale agreement and your loan documents, go by the address on the title and the SPA, not the one on a listing.
