Sky Habitat @ Meldrum Hills in 30 seconds
Sky Habitat @ Meldrum Hills is a freehold condominium in Bukit Meldrum, Johor Bahru, Malaysia, developed by SKS Group and completed in 2018. It comprises 1 block(s), 33 storeys and 184 units. Address: Jalan Tenteram, Bukit Meldrum, Tanjung Puteri, 80300 Johor Bahru, Johor.
Layouts run 875 to 1,260 sq ft across 2 types. As at September 2026, resale listings range RM540,000 – RM1,190,000, with a mid-market level around RM822,500; transacted PSF sits at RM594–1468 psf. Whole-unit rents are RM2,650 – RM4,200 a month, a gross yield of 4.0% – 4.5%. Maintenance: about RM0.31 per sq ft per month — per September 2026 sale listings; four different agents all quote about RM300 a month for the 960 sq ft layout, which is the firmest figure. An 875 sq ft unit is quoted at about RM370 (about RM0.423 psf), and one 960 sq ft listing says RM377+/-, which contradicts the other quotes for the same layout. The listings do not state whether the sinking fund is included.
Transport position: about 2–2.5 km from Bukit Chagar RTS station, roughly a 6–8 minute drive
Official median transacted price (historical reference): RM707,500 (769 psf), period 24 March 2024 – 23 January 2025 (6 transactions), source brickz.my (data sourced from NAPIC / JPPH), interquartile range RM688,000–880,000. Only 6 transactions, a very small sample. EdgeProp's median over a 48-month window is RM724 psf (range RM661–774), close enough to corroborate. But the most important figure is the third: the Market Pulse published by PropertyGuru on 2 September 2026 shows 0 transactions for this project over the past 12 months. Price history has been extremely volatile — EdgeProp records a historical high of RM878 psf (March 2017) and a historical low of RM404 psf (March 2021), a halving within four years. Listings range from RM495–1,000 psf and include two auction units: 1,410 sq ft at RM700,000 (RM496 psf), auctioned 17 August 2026. That RM496 psf is the reference for the floor price the market is willing to accept. 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.

2 layouts, from 875 to 1,260 sq ft
The table shows the current resale price band and rent band for each layout. Mid-market sits around RM822,500, the top of market reaches RM1,190,000 — within one layout the spread comes down to floor, facing and condition.
| Layout | Area | Bed / Bath | Resale price band | PSF | Monthly rent |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Type A/A1/A2/B | 875-920 sf | 2BR · 2 bath | RM540,000 – RM780,000 | RM587–891 | RM2,650 – 3,350 |
| Type C | 1260 sf | 3BR · 2 bath | RM780,000 – RM1,190,000 | RM619–944 | RM3,350 – 4,200 |
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: RM495–1223 psf; this page uses RM594–1468 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.

Sky Habitat @ Meldrum Hills in the developer’s own visuals — real photos I shoot for you
Each image is labelled as a photograph or a developer rendering. The gap between those two is where post-signing disappointment usually lives, so I will not pass one off as the other.

The developer’s own drawings — the 3 official layouts
These are the developer’s own architectural drawings — clean CAD line work with real millimetre dimensions and every room named, no agent marks and nothing cropped. One point of honesty: these sheets do not print a layout code or a built-up area, so I have not invented either. The bedroom and bathroom counts and the overall dimensions below are read straight off the drawings; I number them 1, 2 and 3 purely for reference on this page. For the exact built-up of a specific unit, ask me and I will get it from the title or the management office.
The 3 layout drawings above are the developer's own official floor plans for Sky Habitat, issued by SKS Southern Sdn. Bhd. (SKS Group) and published on the project's own listing at iProperty.com.my. Copyright SKS Southern Sdn. Bhd. The drawings carry no layout code and no built-up area; the numbering on this page is mine, for reference only.
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: RM2,650 to RM4,200 a month
Whole-unit gross yield runs about 4.0% – 4.5%. That is gross — before maintenance, assessment, quit rent, insurance and vacancy. Net yield typically lands 0.8 to 1.2 percentage points below this.

What actually gives Sky Habitat @ Meldrum Hills its value
0.93 km in a straight line to Bukit Chagar RTS station and 1 km to JB Sentral
Measured from the project coordinates (1.462016, 103.769315) against the station coordinates: about 0.93 km in a straight line to Bukit Chagar RTS station, 1 km to JB Sentral and 3.6 km to the Woodlands train checkpoint in Singapore (the source expressly notes these as straight-line distances). By road the drive is about 4.18 km and 4.3 minutes. The gap between the straight-line and driving distances comes from the one-way street layout around CIQ, so drive it yourself when you view.
A single 33-storey tower with only 184 units, one of the lowest-density projects around CIQ
One block, 33 storeys, 184 units on a site of just 0.56 acres (developer website data). Against R&F Princess Cove Phase 1 in the same area (15 blocks and over a thousand units) or Paragon Suites (461 units), this is a completely different living experience: no queuing for lifts, no competition for parking, quieter common areas. If you want a city centre location without living in a large-scale development, the options are very limited, and this is one of them.
739 m walk to R&F Mall and 383 m to the nearest bus stop
Walking distances as stated by PropertyGuru: R&F Mall 739 m (8–9 minutes), Jaya Grocer 782 m (9–10 minutes), City Square Plaza 1,198 m (14–15 minutes); nearest bus stops Menara MSC Cyberport 383 m (4–5 minute walk) and Opposite R&F Mall 423 m (5–6 minute walk). Daily shopping and bus services are all within walking distance, so a car is not essential.
Freehold, open to foreign buyers, with listing PSF 10–40% below the area average
Freehold, and open to foreign buyers (confirmed by the developer website and PropertyGuru). PropertyGuru notes that listing PSF for this project runs 16.7% to 49.4% below the Tanjung Puteri area average, depending on layout. There are only two layout families: Type A/A1/A2/B, 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms at 875–920 sq ft, and Type C, 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms at 1,260 sq ft. A simple layout mix makes like-for-like price comparison straightforward.

What is actually within reach

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.
Owner-occupiers who want a city centre location but cannot tolerate a large-scale development
A single 33-storey tower with only 184 units on a 0.56-acre site means no queuing for lifts and no competition for parking. It is about 0.93 km in a straight line to the RTS station, 739 m on foot to R&F Mall and 383 m to a bus stop, so life without a car is workable. What you have to accept is construction noise nearby, which the booking terms for units in the building already state as a condition.
Patient value buyers able to wait for an auction unit
The listings include two auction units, 1,410 sq ft at RM700,000, equal to RM496 psf, 35% below the brickz median of RM769 psf. Zero transactions over the past 12 months means sellers have no negotiating leverage. If you can wait and can accept poor liquidity, this is one of the projects on this list with the clearest scope to negotiate.
Not suitable for: buyers who need to cash out within 3–5 years
There are only 184 units in total, yet PropertyGuru carries 30 sale and 60 rental listings, and transactions over the past 12 months are zero. Market depth is extremely thin, and the price has historically fallen from RM878 psf to RM404 psf within four years. When you sell you will be competing with thirty owners in the same building for the same pool of buyers, and a forced sale will only clear near the auction price.
Not suitable for: rental investors treating the facilities as the main selling point
Guest records show the pool closed for maintenance for several consecutive days and water pressure in a unit so low that the common bathroom had to be used. A small project of 184 units has to carry the maintenance cost of these facilities alone, so the burden per unit is heavy and the rates cannot be found in any public source. Before buying, always obtain the management office's formal fee notice and the last two years of financial statements.
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.
⚠Zero transactions in the past 12 months, with two auction units listed at the same time
The Market Pulse published by PropertyGuru on 2 September 2026 shows 0 transactions for this project over the past 12 months. At the same time the listings include two auction (lelong) units: 1,410 sq ft at RM700,000, equal to RM496 psf, auctioned 17 August 2026, which is 35% below the brickz median of RM769 psf. There are only 184 units in total, yet PropertyGuru carries 30 sale listings and 60 rental listings (about 33% of all units listed for rent and about 16% for sale). The practical implication for buyers: this is a market with heavy selling pressure and almost no bid side, so when you want to sell you may wait more than a year or have to transact close to the auction price.
⚠Two conflicting accounts of who the developer is, and neither party's finances can be verified
The SKS Group website lists this project as the work of SKS Southern Sdn Bhd; but a 2015 Lowyat forum thread and PropertyGuru's project write-up describe it as an "MB Group" project. SKS Group is a private company with no published accounts, and the related MB World Group Berhad (Bursa code 7189) was delisted on 11 September 2020 (a voluntary takeover and privatisation, not financial distress), with no disclosure obligations since. The practical implication for buyers: you cannot verify the developer's current solvency from public sources, so if structural defects or warranty issues arise, both the party to pursue and your ability to recover are uncertain.
⚠The maintenance fee cannot be found in any public source, and it is very likely at a commercial rate
PropertyGuru, iProperty, EdgeProp, Property Genie, PropSocial and the Lowyat forum thread all carry no maintenance fee figure for this project. EdgeProp meanwhile classifies it as "Condominium/Apartment, Hotel/Service Apartment" with the product type marked as Service Residence. If the title is commercial, electricity runs about 50% higher than residential, the minimum monthly water charge is about RM35 for commercial against about RM6 for residential, and assessment tax is typically 1.5–2 times that of a residential condominium. A building of only 184 units has to spread the cost of a pool, sauna, gym and 24-hour security, so the amount per unit is usually not low.
⚠Long-running construction nearby, written into the booking terms for units in the building
The listing terms for short-stay units in the building state expressly: "Guests shall expect to hear some noise from construction Across the Street." Guest reviews bear this out: "the view not good, noisy because reconstruction around, the area not good for walking" (September 2024, guest from Saudi Arabia) and a July 2024 guest from Sweden noting that construction is everywhere in Johor Bahru and light sleepers should check what works are nearby before booking. This area is at the peak of RTS and city centre redevelopment works. The practical implication for buyers: tenant turnover is high during the construction period and your bargaining power on rent is weak.
⚠The price halved once within four years, showing how sensitive this building is to the market cycle
EdgeProp records a historical high of RM878 psf (March 2017) falling to a historical low of RM404 psf (March 2021), a drop of more than 50% in four years; it then recovered to a 48-month median of RM724 psf and a 2024–25 brickz median of RM769 psf, before falling to zero transactions over the past 12 months. A small project of 184 units has shallow market depth to begin with, and one or two forced sales are enough to pull the median down sharply. The practical implication for buyers: this is not an asset where holding longer guarantees a recovery, so your entry price must carry a real margin of safety.
⚠Facilities out of service and unit hardware problems are documented by specific guests
Guest reviews on the booking system specifically mention the pool being closed for maintenance for several consecutive days (October 2024, guest from Singapore), and water pressure in a unit bathroom being too low to shower, forcing the guest to use the common bathroom, with no bins in the room or the toilet (December 2024, guest from Singapore). Not all of this is management's responsibility, as some are individual owners' unit problems, but a pool closure is a common facility and reflects the maintenance budget and scheduling. The practical implication for buyers: facilities are one source of this building's premium, and frequent closures erode that premium.

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.
| Item | Basis | On RM1,000,000 |
|---|---|---|
| Purchase price | — | RM1,000,000 |
| Stamp duty (foreigner, 8%) | From 1 Jan 2026 | RM80,000 |
| Johor consent levy (3%) | Minimum RM30,000 | RM30,000 |
| Legal fees & disbursements (~1%) | — | ≈ RM10,000 |
| Total on top | — | ≈ RM120,000（12%） |
Johor sets a minimum purchase price for foreigners, and the rules differ between commercial title (serviced apartment / SOHO) and residential title. Sky Habitat @ Meldrum Hills 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.
The 13 questions buyers ask me most
How much does Sky Habitat @ Meldrum Hills cost on the resale market?
As at September 2026, Sky Habitat @ Meldrum Hills resale listings run RM540,000 to RM1,190,000, with a mid-market level around RM822,500 and transacted PSF of RM594–1468. By layout: Type A/A1/A2/B (875-920 sf) RM540,000–RM780,000; Type C (1260 sf) RM780,000–RM1,190,000. Within one layout the spread comes from floor, facing and condition — WhatsApp me for the live list.
What are rents and yields at Sky Habitat @ Meldrum Hills?
Whole-unit rents run RM2,650 – RM4,200 a month. That is a gross yield of about 4.0% – 4.5% — gross, so after maintenance, assessment, quit rent, insurance and vacancy, net yield is typically 0.8–1.2 points lower.
Is Sky Habitat @ Meldrum Hills freehold, and can foreigners buy?
Sky Habitat @ Meldrum Hills is Freehold. Foreigners may buy subject to Johor’s minimum purchase price for foreign buyers. Residential title and commercial title (serviced apartment / SOHO) fall under different rules — have your lawyer confirm which applies before booking. From 2026 foreign-buyer stamp duty is 8%, plus Johor’s 3% consent levy (minimum RM30,000).
When was Sky Habitat @ Meldrum Hills completed and who built it?
Sky Habitat @ Meldrum Hills was completed in 2018 and is occupied resale stock: 1 block(s), 33 storeys, 184 units. Developer: SKS Group. A diversified Johor conglomerate with interests in property, investment holding, hotels and credit financing. Its JB projects include TriTower Residence and SKS Habitat @ Larkin.
How is transport at Sky Habitat @ Meldrum Hills, and how far is the checkpoint?
about 2–2.5 km from Bukit Chagar RTS station, roughly a 6–8 minute drive; about 2 km from CIQ; Close to KTM Johor Bahru and JB Sentral bus terminal (about 6 minutes)
What layouts does Sky Habitat @ Meldrum Hills have?
2 layouts: Type A/A1/A2/B 875-920 sf (2BR), Type C 1260 sf (3BR). Areas run 875 to 1,260 sq ft. I can supply the developer’s official floor plans — WhatsApp me the layout you want to see.
What is the maintenance fee at Sky Habitat @ Meldrum Hills, and what facilities are there?
Maintenance runs about RM0.31 per sq ft per month, per September 2026 sale listings. The firmest figure is for the 960 sq ft layout: four different agents, across three separately priced units, all quote about RM300 a month (about RM0.313 psf). Two other numbers sit outside that and are listed here so you can judge for yourself: an 875 sq ft unit at about RM370 a month (about RM0.423 psf), and one 960 sq ft listing at RM377+/- (about RM0.393 psf), which contradicts the three other quotes for the same layout. This page uses the RM300 figure, the one with four independent sources behind it. None of the listings state whether the sinking fund is included, so ask the management office for the latest fee notice and the audited accounts. Facilities include: Swimming pool, Sauna, Gymnasium, Children’s playground, Multipurpose hall, Lift lobby, Perimeter fencing, Taxi and bus drop-off point, 24-hour security.
Who is Sky Habitat @ Meldrum Hills suitable for?
Mid-budget buyers for own use or investment; Buyers who value a private, low-density community (only 184 units); Singapore commuters
What are the risks of buying at Sky Habitat @ Meldrum Hills?
Few units, so secondary liquidity is limited; Some older rental listings need on-site verification; Not directly beside the RTS station
What malls, schools and hospitals are near Sky Habitat @ Meldrum Hills?
Malls: Johor Bahru City Square, KOMTAR JBCC, The Zon Duty-Free. Schools: St. Joseph Primary School, Foon Yew High School. Hospitals: Hospital Sultanah Aminah.
It is 0.93 km in a straight line to the RTS station, but navigation says a 4 km drive. Why?
Because the area around CIQ is laid out with one-way streets. Measured from the project coordinates (1.462016, 103.769315) to the Bukit Chagar RTS station coordinates, the straight-line distance is 0.93 km, but the actual road network route (OSRM) is about 4.18 km and 4.3 minutes. What this means for you is that walking may in fact be faster than driving, provided the pedestrian route is continuous — central Johor Bahru has a number of flyovers and barriers that block the direct line. When you view, walk it yourself from the unit door to the Bukit Chagar station gates, time it, and note whether there is shade and a footpath along the way. Only after that walk will you know whether you can genuinely market it to tenants as a walkable location.
There has not been a single transaction in 12 months. Is something wrong with this building?
Not necessarily a problem with the building; more likely the result of a small project combined with sellers unwilling to cut prices. There are only 184 units in the whole development, yet PropertyGuru carries 30 sale listings, and PropertyGuru's September 2026 Market Pulse shows 0 transactions over the past 12 months. The signal really worth noting is the two auction units among the listings: 1,410 sq ft at RM700,000 (RM496 psf), 35% below the brickz median of RM769 psf. That tells you two things: first, the price the market is currently willing to pay is far below owners' expectations; second, you have substantial room to negotiate. Ask the agent to track the actual auction results for those two units, which are the truest pricing reference available.
Is the developer SKS Group or MB Group?
Both accounts are in circulation. The SKS Group website lists Sky Habitat as its own project (SKS Southern Sdn Bhd); but a 2015 Lowyat forum thread and PropertyGuru's project write-up call it an "MB Group" project. In practice the two are related — sources such as iRumah record SKS Group as "aka MB World / fka Mahabuilders". The difficulty is that neither side's finances can be checked: SKS Group is a private company with no published accounts, and MB World Group Berhad was delisted from Bursa Malaysia on 11 September 2020 (a voluntary privatisation, not financial distress), with no disclosure obligations since. Before buying, rely on the developer name stated on the strata title and the S&P contract; if the developer's financial strength matters to you, instruct a lawyer to purchase the company's latest financial filings from SSM.
