Why this address

Four things buyers weigh at Residences @ 1 Tebrau

A busy rental block on the Jalan Tebrau corridor. Here is the case, and the catch.

💬

Deep rental market

PropertyGuru showed 125 units for rent and 59 for sale in October 2026, so tenants and landlords have plenty to compare.

🛍️

Malls and the city close by

Listings place Plaza Pelangi and KSL City Mall a short drive away, with Larkin bus terminal about 2.7 km off (PropertyGuru).

🔑

Low entry price

Asking prices start around RM318,000 on PropertyGuru and iProperty, among the lower entry points for a serviced residence this close to the city.

⚖️

What to weigh: leasehold and a studio-heavy mix

The land is leasehold and the remaining lease is not published, and about seven in ten units are studios. Check the lease expiry on the title, and expect competition from other studio landlords.

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.

EdgeProp had no recorded transactions for this building when we checked in October 2026, so there is no transacted row; ask for recent sale records (for example NAPIC data) before you offer. Sale and rent rows are asking prices seen in October 2026, not transactions.

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 621 to 1,050 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.
  • ⚠️ Leasehold title. Check how many years remain on the lease; banks lend less, and buyers pay less, as the lease gets shorter.
  • ⚠️ Serviced apartments usually sit on commercial land. Utility tariffs and some loan terms can be less favourable than for a residential title.
  • ⚠️ 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

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.
