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.
Leasehold title
Far from the RTS and CIQ core, so not a direct beneficiary
Larkin's district image is ordinary, which limits appeal to higher-end tenants
As a newer project it is still building secondary-market recognition, with few transaction samples
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.

Johor sets a minimum purchase price for foreigners, and the rules differ between commercial title (serviced apartment / SOHO) and residential title. SKS Habitat @ Larkin is Leasehold — 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.
