Jason’s take
Every layout is over 1,100 sq ft with 3 to 4 bedrooms, rare for a JB high-rise, and the maintenance fee is low. A family home you can view today. It's a 99-year lease, so check how much is left.

Why this address
Four things buyers weigh at Botanika
A completed, family-sized condominium with a low maintenance fee. Here is the case, and the catch.
Space for families
Every layout is over 1,100 sq ft, with 3 to 4 bedrooms, which is rare among new JB high-rises.
A low maintenance fee
About 27.5 sen per sq ft including sinking fund is low for a condominium with facilities. Ask how well the sinking fund is holding up.
Completed and viewable
Tower C received its CCC in 2019, so you can view actual units, and finished homes trade on the subsale and rental market.
What to weigh: the 99-year lease
Leasehold tenure matters for resale and for some bank loans later on, and transfers of leasehold land in Johor usually need state consent.

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 listing portals | About RM396,000 – RM700,000 | PropertyGuru, Oct 2026 |
| Asking rent listing portals | Up to about RM3,200 a month | PropertyGuru, Oct 2026 |
These are asking prices on listing portals, not transacted prices. Ask Jason for recent transactions.
Completed project
Buying, selling or renting at Botanika
Tower C at Botanika was completed in 2019, so finished units here are already bought and sold on the subsale market and rented out. Asking prices on property portals are not what buyers actually paid. Recorded transaction prices are published in the NAPIC open transaction data, and Jason can pull recent transactions for the unit type you are interested in.
- Leasehold. Check the remaining lease. Transfers of leasehold land in Johor usually need state consent, which adds time to completion.
- Arrears and condition. Ask for the management statement, recent quit rent and assessment receipts, and check for defects or renovation work.
- Tenanted or vacant? A tenanted unit gives rental income from day one, but the tenancy may continue after the sale.
- Foreign buyers. A subsale unit must still meet Johor’s minimum price for foreigners (generally RM1 million) and needs state consent; stamp duty for foreigners buying a home is 8% from 2026, and Johor’s consent levy is 3% of the price or RM30,000, whichever is higher.
Owners get a free valuation or rental estimate. Buyers and tenants get recent transacted prices and available units. Jason replies on WhatsApp.

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 1,126 to 1,488 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.
- ⚠️ Leasehold title. Check how many years remain on the lease; banks lend less, and buyers pay less, as the lease gets shorter.
- ⚠️ 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 RM700,000, around the typical asking price here. Your figures will differ with the price and the bank.

| Down payment | RM70,000 | RM210,000 |
| Loan amount | RM630,000 | RM490,000 |
| Stamp duty on transfer (MOT) | RM15,000 | RM56,000 |
| Stamp duty on loan (0.5%) | RM3,150 | RM2,450 |
| Lawyer, sale agreement (incl. 8% SST) | RM8,910 | RM8,910 |
| Lawyer, loan agreement (incl. 8% SST) | RM8,154 | RM6,615 |
| Cash needed before keys | RM105,214 | RM283,975 |

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.
