Ascent Park @ Iskandar Puteri

One development, counted twice

When I compared my project list against three competing agency sites, Ascent Park and Ascent HUB II appeared as two separate entries. They are not two developments. Ascent Hub is a commercial component inside Ascent Park, alongside Ascent Home I, II and III, Ascent Hub 1 and 3, and Ascent Vista I and II — eight named products within one 196.26-acre master plan.

That matters beyond bookkeeping. A gap analysis that counts components as projects overstates how many developments are actually missing, and a buyer comparing agency lists will think they are looking at more choice than exists. The same pattern showed up earlier with KSL, where retail components were listed separately from the residential schemes they sit inside.

What that means for a foreign buyer

The components are not interchangeable. Ascent Home is landed housing, which for a non-citizen means the RM2,000,000 Johor floor and state consent. Ascent Hub is commercial, which is a different minimum and a different set of financing and tariff consequences. Ascent Vista I have not been able to classify from the developer’s material at all.

Linbaq does not publish prices in readable text for any of them, so I cannot tell you where any component sits against those thresholds. The residential and landed rules are here, and the first question to put to the developer is simply: which component, what title category, and what is the price list?

Ascent Home I — the plans Linbaq publishes

Unusually for the developments I have been adding, Linbaq publishes actual floor plan drawings: a ground floor and a first floor layout for each home type. The two below are for Ascent Home I, hosted here from the developer’s own site. What is not published in readable text is the built-up area, the land size, the bedroom count or the price — those appear only inside images elsewhere on the site. Message me and I will ask Linbaq for the specification sheet and price list.

Floor plans are Linbaq’s own, from linbaq.com read on 26 August 2026 and hosted here rather than linked from their servers. Linbaq also publishes plans for Ascent Home II and III and for Ascent Hub II and III; I have shown Ascent Home I here as the launched residential phase. A drawing is not a specification — the parcel or land area in the sale and purchase agreement is the figure that governs.

The image Linbaq has published

Near Bukit Indah, in the western corridor

Linbaq positions Ascent Park as easily reached via major highways and close to the Bukit Indah business hub, with established townships and amenities nearby. Bukit Indah is one of the more mature commercial nodes on the western side of Johor Bahru, so the claim of surrounding amenity is a reasonable one for this corridor.

What it is not: this is the Second Link side of Johor, not the Causeway or RTS side. If your reason for buying is daily travel to Singapore, that distinction changes the journey materially and should be tested before it is priced in.

Linbaq does not publish a street address or coordinates for the Ascent Park parcel, so this page carries no map and no drive times. On a 196.26-acre site the address matters more than usual — a plot at one edge of a parcel that size is a different proposition from one at the other, and the master plan alone will not tell you which you are being offered.

I checked the permit block against the register. It confirms the warning.

Higher up this page I flagged that the statutory permit block printed on Linbaq’s Ascent Park page names a different scheme by a different company. I have now taken that company to the National Housing Department register and read its entire file.

Far East Nusajaya Sdn Bhd has exactly two registered schemes. Neither is Ascent Park.

How to run this check yourself — the seven status words, why searching by marketing name fails, and the register status of all 175 developments on this site →

Licensed developer 30966, read from teduh.kpkt.gov.my on 27 August 2026. That is the complete list under this licence — not an excerpt.

This is the strongest version of the warning I can give you. It is no longer “that permit block names another project.” It is now: the company named in that permit block has two projects in the national register, both called Residensi Sari Hijau, and Ascent Park is not one of them. The permit numbers on that page cannot become Ascent Park’s permit numbers under any reading.

Both Sari Hijau schemes are recorded as Lancar, on schedule, so nothing here reflects badly on Far East Nusajaya. The problem is not that company. The problem is a buyer reading its disclosure and thinking it covers this development.

What I searched for and did not find — and what that does not prove

I also searched the register for Linbaq as a licensed developer name. It returns nothing.

I am not going to let you read that as a finding, because it is not one. Malaysian schemes are registered under the licensed project company and a statutory taman name, and the brand you see on the hoarding usually appears nowhere in the record. On this same site, “Fraser Heights” happens to be in the register verbatim while “BEE” does not appear at all — and BEE is fully permitted. “I cannot find the marketing name” means I do not have the right search key. It does not mean the project is unlicensed.

Publishing an absence as if it were evidence would be the worst thing this site could do, so I am publishing it as what it is: an unanswered question, and the exact question you should ask.

The one sentence to send Linbaq

“Which licensed developer entity and which KPKT project code applies to the component you are selling me?”

Ascent Park has eight components and this page has already shown that residential and commercial parcels here carry different consequences. So ask per component, not for the development as a whole. With a project code you can open the record yourself at teduh.kpkt.gov.my/semakan-status-kemajuan?kodProjek=<code> and read the unit count, the built-up range, the permit expiry and the construction status in under a minute — four things Linbaq publishes none of.

And if the answer comes back with a code that checks out, that is the outcome I would rather you get. This section exists to get you an answer, not to make a case.

Questions I actually get asked

Can a foreigner buy at Ascent Park?

I cannot tell you, because Linbaq does not publish prices in readable text. What I can tell you is which test applies: the Ascent Home components are landed and face the RM2,000,000 Johor floor plus state consent; the Ascent Hub components are commercial and fall under a different minimum. Ask for the price list by component and the title category for each.

Is Ascent HUB II a separate project?

No. It is a commercial component inside Ascent Park, which is why this page covers both. If an agency has listed them as two projects, that is a listing convention rather than two developments.

Why can you not read the sizes and prices?

Because Linbaq publishes them as pictures rather than text. That is a common way to stop figures being scraped and reused, and it is entirely the developer’s prerogative. It does mean I will not reproduce numbers I cannot read reliably — a misread price on a page like this is worse than no price.

Eight components across 196 acres. How do I work out which one I am actually being sold?

Ask for the component name and the title category in the same sentence, because on a site this size the project name tells you almost nothing. Ascent Home is landed housing. Ascent Hub is commercial. They sit inside the same masterplan and they are governed by different rules.

That distinction decides your foreign-buyer test, your financing margin, your assessment rate and your utility tariff. A salesperson quoting Ascent Park prices without naming the component is quoting an average of things that are not comparable.

The prices are published as images. Is there a legitimate way to get the numbers?

Yes — ask for the price list as a document, and ask for the advertising permit number alongside it. The permit records the approved price band for that component, which means the figure a salesperson gives you can be checked against a government record rather than taken on trust.

Publishing figures as pictures is the developer’s prerogative and usually just discourages scraping. But it does mean nothing on this page can be quoted as a price, and you should treat any number circulating on a portal with the same caution.

Three phases over 196 acres. What does buying into the first one mean?

It means living beside the other two while they are built. On a parcel this size that is measured in years, not months: lorry traffic, noise, temporary road alignments, and amenities that arrive after the homes do.

The compensation is usually price — early phases tend to launch below later ones. Ask for the phasing plan with target dates, and ask specifically what is scheduled to be built on the parcels adjoining the units you are considering.

Can I compare Ascent Home and Ascent Hub on price per square foot?

No, and the comparison misleads in both directions. Landed pricing is dominated by land area; commercial pricing is dominated by frontage and footfall. A square foot of terrace house and a square foot of shop unit are not the same asset and do not carry the same costs.

Compare each against its own market instead: the terrace against other landed schemes in Iskandar Puteri, the commercial unit against other shop units with a comparable catchment. And confirm the title category for each before you compare anything at all.

What should I ask for first?

Four things, in this order: which component, the title category, the advertising permit number for that component, and the price list. The permit is where the approved price band is recorded, and it is the document that turns a brochure figure into something checkable. Here is how to check it.

Should the permit block on the developer’s page worry me?

Not in itself — shared disclosure footers are common. What would concern me is a buyer relying on it. Those licence and permit numbers, the tenure, the completion date and the price range on that block belong to Residence Sari Hijau II by Far East Nusajaya Sdn Bhd, not to Ascent Park.
