Pinegate Residency @ Kota Puteri, Masai
A freehold serviced apartment development of 1,792 units in two phases, all 2 or 3 bedrooms, by the property arm of contractor Kimlun. The name invites confusion with another Johor project — this is not Pine Legacy — and the published completion dates range from 2025 to 2028, which tells you which document to trust.

Pinegate is not Pine Legacy
Pine Legacy is a Tiong Nam project with its own page on this site. Pinegate Residency is Kimlun Land’s, sold through Pinegate Development Sdn Bhd. Different developer, different site, different contract.
Three completion dates, one of them plausible
A project launched in January 2025 cannot complete in 2025, and a 29-storey tower is unlikely to complete in 2026. EdgeProp’s 1 February 2028 is the only date consistent with the launch. The date that binds is the one in your sale and purchase agreement — read it.
Three types
| Type | Built-up | Bed / bath |
|---|---|---|
| A1 | 685 sq ft | 2 / 2 |
| B1 | 775 sq ft | 3 / 2 |
| C1 | 886 sq ft | 3 / 2 |
Sizes from PropertyGuru; the official site names types A1, B1 and C1 without sizes. EdgeProp classes the development as hotel / serviced apartment, which usually means commercial title — ask.
Facilities: swimming and wading pools, gym, jogging track, basketball and badminton courts, playground, BBQ area, multipurpose hall, café, EV charging and 24-hour security.
Kota Puteri, Masai
The site is on Jalan Kempas 12 in Taman Perindustrian Kota Puteri — note the word “perindustrian”: the neighbourhood has industrial lots, and it is worth seeing what sits next to your tower. The official site lists access via the Pasir Gudang Highway, the Johor Bahru East Coast Highway and the Eastern Dispersal Link.
An agent listing claims about 15 minutes to the CIQ and RTS; I have not verified that and would not plan around it without driving it at peak hour.
Pinegate Residency in pictures
Images from the developer’s official project material (pinegateresidency.com.my), read 22 September 2026. Renders are artist’s impressions: landscaping, furniture and fittings shown are not necessarily delivered with the unit. Floor plans and site plans are indicative and subject to the approved plans.
Not 896 units — the register shows a second phase of another 896
Every portal gives Pinegate as 896 units. The National Housing Department register shows that figure is Phase 1 only. A second phase of another 896 units was permitted in October 2025, which doubles the development and the future rental supply. It also settles the completion question and gives a price band where the developer published none.

What the register adds
The completion answer: the SPA handover date for Phase 1 is 23 January 2028, and it is already 81% built, so the EdgeProp date was right.
Prices, where the developer published none: Phase 1 is permitted at RM344,725 to RM478,210 and Phase 2 at about RM375,000 to RM513,000 — roughly RM500 to RM580 per sq ft on the 685 to 886 sq ft layouts.
Supply is the real question. 1,792 near-identical 2- and 3-bedroom units in one address is a lot of rental competition. Underwrite a rental plan on that basis.
Kimlun Land
Kimlun Land is the property arm of Kimlun Corporation Berhad, a listed Johor contractor. Its annual report records Pinegate Development Sdn Bhd as a wholly owned subsidiary. Ask for the developer licence and the advertising permit number — neither appeared on the pages I could read — and check both on the KPKT register.
Questions I actually get asked
Is Pinegate the same as Pine Legacy?
No. Pinegate is Kimlun Land’s; Pine Legacy is Tiong Nam’s.
When will it complete?
EdgeProp gives 1 February 2028, which fits a January 2025 launch. Rely on your sale and purchase agreement.
What does it cost?
The developer has not published a price. I will get the current price list on request.
Can a foreigner buy?
Almost certainly not: units of 685 to 886 sq ft in Masai are priced far below the RM1,000,000 strata floor.
Where is Pinegate Residency?
At Jalan Kempas 12, Taman Perindustrian Kota Puteri, 81750 Masai, with access to the Pasir Gudang Highway, the Johor Bahru East Coast Highway and the EDL.
What layouts does Pinegate have?
Type A1 685 sq ft (2 bed, 2 bath), Type B1 775 sq ft (3 bed, 2 bath) and Type C1 886 sq ft (3 bed, 2 bath), per PropertyGuru.
Which company is the developer?
Pinegate Development Sdn Bhd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Kimlun Land, the property arm of Kimlun Corporation Berhad.

The unit mix, the permitted price and how far up it is
None of this table is the developer’s account of itself. It is what the Ministry of Housing and Local Government records from the 7(f) returns: unit type, bedrooms and bathrooms, built-up area, unit count, the price range on the permit, and the certified percentage complete. A brochure price can be revised; the price on the permit was filed. A brochure need not mention progress; the percentage is certified. The status vocabulary is theirs too: Lancar (on schedule), Lewat (behind), Sakit (sick), Terbengkalai (abandoned).

This is the document the developer had to file, and the housing department had to approve, before it was allowed to advertise at all — served from the ministry’s own host. It normally carries the location plan, the developer licence and building-plan approval references, the expected completion date, the encumbrance position, and the unit count and price floor and ceiling for each type. The brochure a salesperson hands you can be reissued. This one cannot.

What to do with the number. Read it against the delivery date in your own agreement, not against what a salesperson says. A project with a year left on its statutory clock and a third of the building up is telling you something the brochure will not.
How does that compare? Every development on this site, grouped by register status — cancelled, abandoned and behind schedule first.
No floor plan is reproduced on this page — but the drawings are findable
A floor plan is the developer’s copyright. This site does not mirror one and let you assume it is official. What it can do is send you to the drawing itself.
The advertisement the developer filed and the housing department approved normally carries the location plan and the unit count and price for each type. A salesperson’s brochure can be reissued. This one cannot.
The drawing that binds the developer is the one attached to your own sale and purchase agreement. Anything on any website is a reference copy — check the schedule to your contract before you sign.
