Why this address
Four things buyers weigh at 8Scape Residences
A large freehold condominium between two established Skudai-side townships. Here is the case, and the catch.
Freehold, in a big development
PropertyGuru and iProperty record freehold tenure across 1,255 units in four towers, which keeps the resale and rental market deep.
Malls nearby
PropertyGuru puts Perling Mall about 2 km away, with Sutera Mall and Paradigm Mall Johor Bahru also in the area.
Five acres of facilities
EdgeProp reported three swimming pools, a clubhouse, tennis court, jogging path and gardens spread over about five acres.
What to weigh: heavy listing supply
PropertyGuru showed 133 units for sale and 163 for rent in October 2026. With that much choice, compare like-for-like layouts and use EdgeProp’s recorded median of RM548 psf as your guide.

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 | RM548 psf · typical RM484–637 psf | EdgeProp project page, Oct 2026 |
| Launch price at launch | Average about RM550 psf, from about RM450,000 | EdgeProp, January 2017 |
| Asking price for sale, all sizes | From about RM292,000 · RM320–579 psf | PropertyGuru building page, Oct 2026 |
| Asking rent whole units | From about RM1,400 a month | PropertyGuru and iProperty, Oct 2026 |
The transacted row is EdgeProp’s record of completed sales over 48 months; EdgeProp puts the implied yield at about 5.02%. The launch row is from EdgeProp’s January 2017 report. Sale and rent rows are asking prices seen on PropertyGuru (133 for sale, 163 for rent) and iProperty 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 808 to 1,651 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.
- ⚠️ 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

Frequently asked questions
How many units are there and what sizes?
There are 1,255 condominium units in four 25-storey towers. PropertyGuru lists five layouts from 808 sq ft (2 bedrooms) to 1,651 sq ft (4 bedrooms); EdgeProp’s 2017 report gives a top size of 1,654 sq ft, so records differ slightly.
Is 8Scape Residences freehold?
Yes. PropertyGuru and iProperty both 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 at 8Scape Residences start from about RM292,000 and run RM320–579 psf, which keeps even the largest layout below RM1 million, so foreign buyers are generally not eligible here.
How much does a unit rent for?
PropertyGuru and iProperty listings in October 2026 ask from about RM1,400 a month for a whole unit.

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.
