Why this address
Four things buyers weigh at Iskandar Residences
A freehold Medini address with a large rental market. Here is the case, and the catch.
Freehold in Medini
PropertyGuru and iProperty both record freehold tenure, which is less common among the Medini towers.
Gleneagles and Legoland nearby
PropertyGuru puts Gleneagles Hospital about 3 minutes away and Legoland and Kota Iskandar about 4 minutes away.
Two infinity pools and courts
Facilities include two infinity pools, squash and badminton courts, a sky lounge and a nursery, per PropertyGuru and iProperty.
What to weigh: a crowded rental market
Portals showed well over 100 rental listings in October 2026, and EdgeProp’s implied yield is about 5%. Price your rent realistically and compare against the many nearby towers.

The recorded numbers
The price numbers
Recorded sales and asking prices are different things. Transacted figures come from deals recorded with the government valuation department; asking figures are what owners or the developer are listing at.
| Measure | Figure | Source and date |
|---|---|---|
| Transacted price median, last 48 months | RM600 psf · typical RM502–635 psf | EdgeProp, viewed Oct 2026 |
| Asking price for sale, all sizes | From about RM379,000 · RM405–677 psf | PropertyGuru building page, 96 listings, Oct 2026 |
| Asking rent whole units | From about RM1,800 a month | PropertyGuru, 224 listings; iProperty, 154 listings, Oct 2026 |
The transacted row is EdgeProp’s record of completed sales over 48 months; EdgeProp puts the implied gross yield at about 4.99%. Sale and rent rows are asking prices seen on PropertyGuru and iProperty in October 2026, not transactions.
Track record
About Distinctive Properties Sdn Bhd
PropertyGuru and iProperty name Distinctive Properties Sdn Bhd as the developer of Iskandar Residences.
EdgeProp records the developer as Distinctive Ace Sdn Bhd, so records differ on the company name.

Is it for you?
Which kind of buyer are you?
The same building suits different people for different reasons. Pick the line that sounds like you.
🏠 Living here yourself
Ask me which stacks get the better view and the least afternoon sun; that changes the price more than the floor.
💰 Buying to rent out
Compare the recorded rents in "The price numbers" above with the instalment on your loan. Smaller layouts usually rent faster; larger ones hold tenants longer.
👨👩👧 Family with children
Check the school and clinic distances in the location section, the number of car parks per unit and how busy the lifts are at 7.30 am.
✈️ Buying from overseas
Foreigners can only buy above the state minimum price (RM1 million in Johor) and pay 8% stamp duty from 2026. Ask me which units here qualify before you shortlist.
Straight talk
What I will not hide from you
Every project has trade-offs. These are the ones I would want to know before paying a deposit.
- ⚠️ A newer project, so many owners are renting out at the same time. Expect competition for tenants for the first few years.
- ⚠️ Most asking prices here are below RM1 million, so most units cannot be sold to foreigners in Johor. On resale, your buyers will mainly be locals.
- ⚠️ Asking prices are not sale prices. Compare any offer with the recorded transacted price per sq ft above before you commit.
The real cost
What buying here costs in 2026

| Stamp duty on transfer (MOT) | RM6,600 | RM30,400 |

| Lawyer, sale agreement (incl. 8% SST) | RM5,130 | RM5,130 |

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.
