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.
Young professionals who want a mall directly downstairs
Short-stay and holiday-let investors (the location and profile suit Airbnb-style letting)
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.
Noise and footfall management from the mall below needs to be considered
The PSF range is extremely wide (RM288-906); verify on site whether the pricing of a specific unit is reasonable
Maintenance fees are expected to be on the high side given the shared structure with the mall (exact figure not yet verified)

What does buying here actually cost in 2026?

Johor sets a minimum purchase price for foreigners, and the rules differ between commercial title (serviced apartment / SOHO) and residential title. Paradigm Residence 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.
