1 layout, from 1,060 to 2,500 sq ft
The table shows the current resale price band and rent band for each layout. Mid-market sits around RM950,000, the top of market reaches RM1,540,000 — within one layout the spread comes down to floor, facing and condition.
| Layout | Area | Bed / Bath | Resale price band | PSF | Monthly rent |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mainly a single large layout (3+1 bedrooms) | approx. 1060-2500 sf | 4BR · 3 bath | RM360,000 – RM1,540,000 | — | RM2,150 – 5,500 |
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: RM282–515 psf; this page uses RM338–618 psf. The official historical median is shown separately at the top of the page for trend.
PSF in this table is each layout’s own asking price divided by its area; the Asking PSF in the facts card is the project-wide agent-corrected band. Where one row merges layouts of very different sizes, the PSF cell is left blank rather than averaged.
Corrected as at 5 September 2026. Actual prices still depend on floor, facing, condition and negotiation; nothing here is an offer.

What The Straits View Condominium actually looks like
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 official drawing for this layout — I request it 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 RM5,500 a month
Whole-unit gross yield runs about 4.9%. 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 The Straits View Condominium, 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 The Straits View Condominium its value
A large low-density site that is rare in the area, with 120 units against neighbouring projects of a thousand or more
The Straits View Condominium comprises only 5 blocks and 120 units in total, built on 17.8 acres of hillside land. StarProperty's review describes the whole site as so large that the next nearest condominium is barely visible. Against other developments around Permas Jaya routinely holding seven or eight hundred units, this low density gives a clear advantage in lift waiting times, car park turnover and crowding at the common facilities, and it is the project's core selling point and the hardest for later projects to replicate.
A hillside site with three choices of outlook: city skyline, golf course and waterway sea views
The project sits on freehold hillside land adjoining Permas Jaya Golf Club, and StarProperty describes units as looking out from large balconies onto sea views, golf course views and waterway views running right up to the buildings. That combination of outlooks is uncommon across the Permas Jaya area, and the golf course view in particular is available only to projects immediately adjoining the course.
BRDB, a leading listed developer and the master developer of the Permas Jaya township
The developer, Bandar Raya Developments Berhad (BRDB), was founded in 1976 and is a Main Market listed Malaysian property developer. It has been developing the 1,400-acre Bandar Baru Permas Jaya township since 1981, now over 40 years, and also has high-end residential projects in Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur. This project was developed by Permas Jaya Sdn Bhd, a wholly owned BRDB subsidiary, on freehold land, and forms part of the wider township plan rather than an isolated site inserted by an outside developer.
A single large 3-bedroom layout throughout, with a complete facilities list
All units are a uniform 3+1 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms with a built-up of about 1,600 sq ft (units on certain floors span a wider range of about 1,060–2,500 sq ft), and every unit has a large balcony. Facilities include a swimming pool, wading pool, jacuzzi, sauna, tennis court, squash court, basketball practice court, gym, multipurpose hall, function room, cafeteria, laundry service, convenience store and a reflexology path, a specification close to that of a mid to high-end project.

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-occupier families who value privacy and low density
One of the lowest-density options in the district, with 120 units against neighbouring developments of seven or eight hundred, so the facilities and car park are not crowded. It suits families with a reasonable budget who want a sense of space without moving to purely landed housing. Note that the building is over 10 years old, so always verify the sinking fund and the overhaul plans for the main mechanical and electrical systems before buying.
Owner-occupiers or upgraders seeking golf course or sea views
Adjoining Permas Jaya Golf Club, with some units enjoying course or waterway views, a combination that is scarce in the district. You have to accept the possibility of odours and insects from course maintenance, so when viewing it is best to choose a time just after maintenance has been carried out and judge for yourself.
Long-term rental investors letting to expatriates
StarProperty's analysis considers this project suited to letting to expatriates who want to live near the Iskandar developments. Those tenants have higher expectations of living standards and privacy, which the low density and large layouts here match, but a project of 120 units means a small base of rental listings and finding the right tenant may take longer.
Not suitable for: short-term investors seeking high liquidity and a quick exit
The low density of 120 units is an advantage for living, but conversely it means a small listing base and a limited buyer pool, so resale is inherently slower than at a large development. Combined with the wide price spread that makes comparison difficult, this project's liquidity characteristics do not suit a buyer whose objective is a quick resale profit.
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.
⚠Prices range from RM300,000 to RM1.28 million, reflecting extreme differences in orientation and floor, and both valuation and financing can catch you out
The base data shows listing prices for this project ranging from RM300,000 to RM1.28 million at 282–515 PSF, a spread of more than 4 times within a single project. That kind of spread usually comes from very large differences in orientation (sea or golf course view versus an inward outlook), floor level and whether the unit has been renovated. The practical implication for buyers: if you make an offer based on the project "average price", you can easily overpay or miss the genuinely good units; and in projects with wide floor-by-floor price differences, the bank's valuer may also value conservatively, so the margin of finance falls short of expectations and the deposit burden increases.
⚠Air quality incidents in the Pasir Gudang industrial area are a real risk to tenant confidence in this district
StarProperty's review states expressly that the project is about 10 km from the Pasir Gudang industrial area. In March 2019, chemical waste illegally dumped into the Sungai Kim Kim river in Pasir Gudang released toxic fumes, sending large numbers of residents and students to hospital and closing several schools for a period (per BBC News reports in March 2019). Although there is some distance between this project and the industrial core, similar complaints about chemical odours occurred more than once that year, and a repeat would directly affect the renewal confidence of expatriate tenants and is a common reason for buyers to push the price down.
⚠BRDB is developing several projects in Permas Jaya with "Straits View" in the name, making it easy to check the wrong data and compare the wrong prices
The projects listed on BRDB's website for sale or sold include The Straits View Duo, The Straits View Garden, The Straits View Link, The Straits View Homes and The Straits View Residences alongside this project, The Straits View Condominium. Most of the others are terraced, semi-detached or cluster landed housing, with completely different product forms and price levels. A buyer searching "Straits View" online to compare prices or check transaction records can easily mix data from different projects and reach the wrong conclusion about the market.
⚠The building is over 10 years old and the main mechanical and electrical systems are entering their overhaul phase
The project was completed in 2014, making it about 12 years old in 2026, and the lifts, water pumps, roof waterproofing and facade are the main systems that typically start showing signs of needing a major overhaul at this age. In Malaysia, refurbishing a single lift generally costs between RM150,000 and RM300,000, and if the management corporation only starts planning the sinking fund at this point, owners may face a one-off special levy, a real additional cash outflow.
⚠The other side of adjoining a golf course: pesticide drift and the practical effects of course maintenance on residents
One of the project's core selling points is adjoining Permas Jaya Golf Club and enjoying course views. But routine golf course maintenance uses herbicides, insecticides and other chemicals, and units on the course side, particularly on lower floors, may experience chemical odours drifting across or problems with insects. This will not appear in the sales material; you will only learn about it by living there or asking current residents.

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.

When was The Straits View Condominium completed and who built it?
The Straits View Condominium was completed in 2014 and is occupied resale stock: 5 block(s), — storeys, 120 units (the storey count is left blank because no authoritative source exists and nothing here is guessed: KPKT TEDUH holds no registration record for this project, and all 13 schemes registered to the licensed developer Permas Jaya Sdn Bhd (developer code 835) were checked one by one, none of them being this project; the similarly named THE STRAITS VIEW RESIDENCES (835-6 and 835-7) turns out to be Rumah Sesebuah and Rumah Berkembar, that is landed bungalow and semi-detached housing, not this condominium, so the two must not be matched together). Developer: Bandar Raya Developments Berhad (BRDB) (through its subsidiary Permas Jaya Sdn Bhd). BRDB was founded in 1976 and is a Main Market-listed Malaysian property company. Past projects include high-end residential in Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur, Menara BRDB, and the Permas Jaya integrated township in Johor Bahru developed since 1981. It has a good reputation, known for thorough planning and scarce locations.
How is transport at The Straits View Condominium, and how far is the checkpoint?
about 17–19 km (estimated); about 16–18 km, roughly a 20–25 minute drive (estimated); Close to the Pasir Gudang Highway / EDL
What layouts does The Straits View Condominium have?
1 layout: Mainly a single large layout (3+1 bedrooms) approx. 1060-2500 sf (4BR). Areas run 1,060 to 2,500 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 The Straits View Condominium, and what facilities are there?
The maintenance fee itself runs about RM0.24 per sq ft per month; add the sinking fund — charged here at 30% of the maintenance fee — and the all-in figure is about RM0.31 psf per month. That comes from September 2026 sale listings cross-checked across more than eight agents and ten separate units on both portals. The clearest is a 1,679 sq ft unit: RM400.80 maintenance plus RM120.24 sinking fund, RM521.04 a month. Other units are quoted at RM410 (1,600 sq ft), RM520 (1,650), RM521.40 (1,668), RM540 (1,779), RM450–500 (1,819), and RM800 a month for both the 3,000 and 3,455 sq ft layouts. This is the only project among the completed Johor Bahru condos covered on this site whose listings separate the maintenance fee from the sinking fund. Ask the management office for the latest fee notice and the audited accounts. Facilities include: 24-hour security, Squash court, Swimming pool, Tennis court, Wading pool.
Who is The Straits View Condominium suitable for?
High-end owner-occupiers seeking low density, large layouts and hillside sea views
What are the risks of buying at The Straits View Condominium?
Over 10 years old, with a very wide total price range (likely reflecting large differences in orientation and floor level); Resale liquidity is weaker than projects with small and mid-sized units; Not well suited to short-term investors who need high liquidity
What malls, schools and hospitals are near The Straits View Condominium?
Malls: Taman Permas Jaya commercial area, AEON Permas Jaya. Schools: Several schools in the Permas Jaya network. Hospitals: Klinik Komuniti Taman Plentong Utama (government community clinic — there is no Klinik Kesihatan in Permas Jaya), JB Specialist Hospital (private, Taman Johor Jaya), Hospital Pasir Gudang (public general hospital), Regency Specialist Hospital (private, Bandar Seri Alam).
Why can I not find any resident reviews of The Straits View Condominium online?
The project currently has 0 reviews on PropertyGuru. That may be because the project is small (only 120 units) and the proportion of residents who post reviews on online platforms is low to begin with, or because residents of a locally owner-occupied development are less likely to use English-language property review sites. It does not mean there is no genuine feedback on living here, only that this channel does not carry the data. Before buying, contact current owners or agents living nearby directly to understand the actual management and living experience, rather than drawing conclusions from the absence of online reviews.
BRDB seems to have developed several projects in Permas Jaya called "Straits View". Could I end up checking the wrong data or comparing the wrong prices?
It is genuinely easy to confuse them. Besides this project, The Straits View Condominium, BRDB's website currently lists The Straits View Duo, The Straits View Garden, The Straits View Link, The Straits View Homes and The Straits View Residences, most of which are terraced, semi-detached or cluster landed housing with completely different product forms and price levels from this project. When checking transaction records or verifying prices with an agent, always confirm that the data is for the "Condominium" specifically.
Prices in the same project run from RM300,000 to RM1.28 million. Why is the gap so wide?
The spread comes mainly from orientation (sea or golf course view versus an ordinary outlook), floor level and whether the unit has been renovated. The range of unit sizes here is also wide (about 1,060–2,500 sq ft), and mixing large and small layouts into one range widens the price spread further. Do not use the project-wide price range as the basis for your offer; always compare against recent actual transactions on the same floor with the same orientation, or you can easily overpay or miss the units that genuinely represent value.
