Gen Sfera
A 50-storey freehold serviced apartment tower near JB Sentral, the second project by Majestic Gen next to Residensi Gen. Most of its 996 units are compact, 1 to 3 bedrooms, with permit prices from RM609,000 and keys due in February 2030.

Jason’s take
Compact units 440 m from JB Sentral, which is what cross-border tenants look for. The launch stage sold out fast. My caution: keys are due in 2030, and 996 homes on 1.25 acres means busy lifts and plenty of similar units nearby.

Why this address
Four things buyers weigh at Gen Sfera
A compact-unit freehold tower a short walk from JB Sentral. Here is the case, and the catch.
Walk to JB Sentral and the RTS
About 440 metres to JB Sentral and about 700 metres to the Bukit Chagar RTS station, with the CIQ walkable through JB Sentral.
Compact, rental-focused units
Most layouts are under 760 sq ft, which suits renting to singles and couples, including cross-border commuters.
Strong take-up
Launched in July 2025, the launched stage was fully taken up by May 2026. The developer’s first JB project was also fully taken up.
What to weigh: early stage and density
Only 5% built, with keys due in 2030 after an 18-month extension. 996 homes on a 1.25-acre plot means busy lifts at peak times and competition from similar units nearby.

I work with local families, investors and buyers from Singapore and overseas. If a project is not right for what you need, I will say so; that is usually worth more than the brochure.
