This page lists 28 verified developments in Johor Bahru city. Tenure: 20 freehold, 3 leasehold, 5 not stated by the developer. Published prices: 11 of 28, running RM348,653 to RM4,288,000 – the rest publish none, and none is estimated here.
What the district is really shaped like. Everything here is measured from one point: the RTS Link terminus at Bukit Chagar, opening beside the Bangunan Sultan Iskandar CIQ. The inner ring is genuinely walkable — Twin Tower Residence about 150 m, Coronade Twins 210 m, CTC SkyOne about 300 m, Aethera Residences about 400 m, Shama Suasana 480 m, SKS Pavillion 500 m, Arden at One Bukit Senyum 600 m, Gen Sphere 700 m, Causewayz Square 800 m and Summer Suites 850 m. R&F Princess Cove reaches the CIQ by a 650 m covered bridge. A second ring sits 1.2 to 3 km out, including The Astaka at about 1.2 km and the two Kebun Teh phases at about 2.9 km. Then there is an outer ring at 4 to 7 km — Paragon Gateway, Veranda Phase 2, Wave at Marina Cove, Paragon Signature Suites and Southkey NADI — where the honest description is a drive, not a walk.
What to check before you book. Johor's non-citizen floor is RM1,000,000 for strata; the state levy is 3% or RM30,000, whichever is higher, with a RM50,000 minimum on serviced residences priced under RM1,000,000. Titles carry a Sekatan Kepentingan restriction requiring state consent. The 8% non-citizen stamp duty applies from 1 January 2026. A large share of the inner ring is completed stock rather than new build — Paragon Suites and Setia Sky 88 since 2017, The Astaka since 2018, R&F Princess Cove Phase 2 and Space Residency since 2024 — so several of the prices shown are subsale asking prices, labelled as such on the project pages.
What I will not smooth over. Thirteen of the 27 have no price published by the developer. Eight are shut to non-citizens outright on price. NAPIC's 1Q2026 Johor figures record 9,972 unsold completed serviced apartments, and this district is where most of them are. One listing, Pine Legacy, has no developer licence or advertising permit traceable on the KPKT TEDUH portal, so no distance or price is stated for it here at all.
