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 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.

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

Worked example for a unit at RM450,000, around the typical asking price here. Your figures will differ with the price and the bank.

First-time Malaysian buyers of homes up to RM500,000 may get a stamp duty exemption until 2027. Valuation, disbursements and moving costs are not included.

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.
