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 520 to 2,221 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.
  • ⚠️ 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 RM800,000, around the typical asking price here. Your figures will differ with the price and the bank.

Frequently asked questions

How many units are there and what sizes?

PropertyGuru and iProperty record 546 units in one 34-storey tower. UEM Sunrise lists types of 520, 896 and 2,221 sq ft; PropertyGuru gives 540 sq ft as the smallest.

Is Almas Suites freehold?

Yes. PropertyGuru, iProperty and UEM Sunrise all record freehold tenure.

Can a foreigner buy here?

In Johor a foreign buyer generally needs to pay at least RM1 million for a residential property, with Johor 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 seen at Almas Suites in October 2026 top out near RM796,000, so none of the listed units reaches RM1 million; only a large unit priced at RM1 million or more could qualify, and only if it is not on a Bumiputera lot.

How much does a unit rent for?

PropertyGuru asking rents in October 2026 run from about RM1,600 to RM5,000 a month, depending on size and furnishing.

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.
