Why this address
Four things buyers weigh at SKS Habitat
A lower-priced leasehold option next to the Larkin transport hub. Here is the case, and the catch.
Next to Larkin Sentral
SKS Group places the project close to the Larkin Sentral transport hub and Arena Larkin.
Eleven layouts
SKS Group publishes 11 unit types, from 603 sq ft one-bedroom units to 1,205 sq ft three-bedroom units.
Lower entry price
PropertyGuru asking prices in October 2026 ran from about RM328,000 to RM660,000.
What to weigh: leasehold and a retail podium to check
SKS Group describes a five-level Larkin Junction retail podium beneath the towers; check its current status. Leasehold homes usually trade below comparable freehold, so check the lease expiry on the title.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| Asking price for sale, all sizes | About RM328,000–660,000 · RM437–688 psf | PropertyGuru building page, Oct 2026 |
| Asking rent whole units and rooms | About RM750–2,800 a month | PropertyGuru building page, Oct 2026 |
EdgeProp’s transaction page for this name holds older records that do not match this project, so no recorded median is shown. Both rows are asking prices seen on PropertyGuru in October 2026, not transactions; ask for recorded prices 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 603 to 1,205 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.
- ⚠️ A newer project, so many owners are renting out at the same time. Expect competition for tenants for the first few years.
- ⚠️ 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
Worked example for a unit at RM660,000, around the typical asking price here. Your figures will differ with the price and the bank.

| Down payment | RM66,000 | RM198,000 |
| Loan amount | RM594,000 | RM462,000 |
| Stamp duty on transfer (MOT) | RM13,800 | RM52,800 |
| Stamp duty on loan (0.5%) | RM2,970 | RM2,310 |
| Lawyer, sale agreement (incl. 8% SST) | RM8,478 | RM8,478 |
| Lawyer, loan agreement (incl. 8% SST) | RM7,765 | RM6,237 |
| Cash needed before keys | RM99,013 | RM267,825 |
| State consent fee for foreigners | – | 3% of the price or RM30,000 (Johor) |
Estimates only. Stamp duty: 1–4% tiers for Malaysians and PRs, 8% flat for foreigners from 1 Jan 2026. Legal fees follow the Solicitors’ Remuneration Order 2023.

Frequently asked questions
How many units are there and what sizes?
There are 646 serviced apartments in two 35-storey blocks, according to SKS Group. The developer lists 11 layouts from 603 sq ft (one bedroom) to 1,205 sq ft (three bedrooms).
Is SKS Habitat freehold?
No. SKS Group and PropertyGuru record leasehold tenure. Check the lease expiry on the title.
Can a foreigner buy here?
In Johor a foreign buyer generally needs to pay at least RM1 million per residential property, with state consent. Since 1 July 2025 Johor charges foreign buyers a consent levy of 3% of the price or RM30,000, whichever is higher, and stamp duty on transfers to foreigners is a flat 8% from 1 January 2026. Bumiputera lots, low-cost and affordable units, Malay Reserve land and single or one-and-a-half-storey terraces are closed to foreigners. PropertyGuru asking prices in October 2026 ran from about RM328,000 to RM660,000, all below RM1 million, so foreign buyers would generally not qualify.
How much does a unit rent for?
PropertyGuru listings in October 2026 asked about RM750 to RM2,800 a month, depending on size and whether a room or whole unit is let.

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.
