Why this address
Four things buyers weigh at Aloha Tower Condominium
Big freehold units at a low price per square foot, in a building from the 1990s. Here is the case, and the catch.
Large units for the money
EdgeProp records a median of about RM251 psf over 48 months, and standard units start at about 1,600 sq ft.
Freehold and low density
Three blocks hold only 234 units on about 5 acres, according to PropertyGuru and StarProperty.
Close to town and the Causeway
StarProperty puts the Singapore Causeway about five minutes’ drive away, with schools about 1 km off.
What to weigh: a 1994 building
The building is more than 30 years old. Check the unit’s condition, the lifts, the sinking fund and recent upgrades before you offer.

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 | RM251 psf · typical RM193–286 psf | EdgeProp, viewed Oct 2026 |
| Asking price for sale, 25 listings | About RM430,000–1.38m · RM253–310 psf | PropertyGuru building page, Oct 2026 |
| Asking rent whole units | From about RM2,200 a month | PropertyGuru building page, Oct 2026 |
The transacted row is EdgeProp’s record of completed sales over 48 months; EdgeProp puts the implied gross yield at about 7%. Sale and rent rows are asking prices seen on PropertyGuru in October 2026, not transactions. EdgeProp sale listings in October 2026 for units of about 1,700 sq ft asked roughly RM490,000–545,000.

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 1,600 to 1,702 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.
- ⚠️ An older building (completed 1994). Check the lifts, plumbing, sinking fund balance and any repairs the management has planned.
- ⚠️ 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.

Frequently asked questions
How many units are there and what sizes?
There are 234 units in three blocks of 13, 19 and 25 storeys. Standard 3- and 4-bedroom units run from about 1,600 to 1,702 sq ft, and penthouses go up to about 3,145 sq ft (PropertyGuru and StarProperty).
Is Aloha Tower Condominium freehold?
Yes. PropertyGuru and StarProperty both record freehold tenure.
Can a foreigner buy here?
In Johor a foreign buyer generally needs a purchase price of RM1 million or more (the state minimum can vary by area and property type), must obtain state consent from the Johor Land and Mines Office, and cannot buy Bumiputera lots, low-cost or affordable units, Malay Reserve land or single or one-and-a-half-storey terraces. Stamp duty on the transfer of a home is a flat 8% for foreign buyers from 1 January 2026. Johor also charges foreign buyers a consent levy of 3% of the price or RM30,000, whichever is higher (since 1 July 2025). Most asking prices seen in October 2026 were around RM430,000 to RM600,000, so only a penthouse 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?

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.
