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 RM390,000–1.1m · RM489–1,534 psf | PropertyGuru building page, Oct 2026 |
| Asking price incl. penthouses | Up to about RM2.2m | iProperty building page, Oct 2026 |
| Asking rent whole units and rooms | From about RM1,000 (PropertyGuru); about RM645–4,800 (iProperty) | PropertyGuru and iProperty, Oct 2026 |
EdgeProp’s project page was unavailable when checked, so no recorded median is shown. All rows are asking prices seen on PropertyGuru and iProperty 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 645 to 1,760 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.
- ⚠️ Serviced apartments usually sit on commercial land. Utility tariffs and some loan terms can be less favourable than for a residential title.
- ⚠️ Asking prices are not sale prices. Compare any offer with the recorded transacted price per sq ft above before you commit.

Frequently asked questions
How many units are there and what sizes?
There are 995 serviced residences in two 60-storey towers, according to PropertyGuru and iProperty. iProperty lists layouts of 645 sq ft (1+1 bedrooms), 737 to 745 sq ft (2 bedrooms), 880 to 907 sq ft (3 bedrooms) and penthouses of about 1,760 sq ft.
Is Space Residency freehold?
Yes. PropertyGuru and iProperty record freehold tenure.
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. Asking prices in October 2026 ran from about RM390,000 to RM1.1 million on PropertyGuru, with penthouses up to about RM2.2 million on iProperty. Most units are below RM1 million, so only the largest units and penthouses priced at RM1 million or more could qualify, and only if the unit is not on a Bumiputera lot.
How much does a unit rent for?
PropertyGuru rent listings in October 2026 started from about RM1,000 a month; iProperty showed about RM645 to RM4,800, 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.
