Some units

Asking prices start around RM690,000, so mid-size and larger units priced at RM1 million or more could qualify

Why this address

Four things buyers weigh at Molek Pine 4

Large freehold homes in a green-rated tower. Here is the case, and the catch.

🌿

Green-rated building

The Edge reported in 2013 that Molek Pine 4 was the second residential project in Malaysia to reach a GBI Platinum rating, with solar panels, rainwater harvesting and a naturally ventilated car park.

📐

Big layouts, low density

The smallest unit is 1,441 sq ft and PropertyGuru records about 8 units a floor and two parking bays per unit, which suits families upsizing from terraces.

♨️

Unusual clubhouse

The developer lists a Japanese onsen-style spa in the clubhouse, alongside a pool, tennis, basketball and badminton courts and a gym.

⚖️

What to weigh: big-ticket resale

Asking prices run from about RM690,000 to RM4.8 million, and EdgeProp’s 48-month median is RM488 psf. Large units take longer to resell and rent, so check transacted figures for your size before you offer.

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

Layouts here run from about 1,441 to 6,042 sq ft. 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.

  • ⚠️ More than ten years old. Ask for the last AGM minutes and how much maintenance owners still owe; arrears show up as poor upkeep later.
  • ⚠️ Asking prices are not sale prices. Compare any offer with the recorded transacted price per sq ft above before you commit.

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.
