Jason’s take
Danga Bay, freehold, from a Johor-based listed developer, with compact layouts and a large facilities podium. My caution is time: about 13% built when I checked, with keys due January 2030. Danga Bay already has plenty of finished condos, so compare the price with those first.

Why this address
Four things buyers weigh at Calia Residences
A freehold Danga Bay launch from a Johor-based listed developer. Here is the case, and the catch.
Freehold, with compact layouts
Four layouts from a 453 sq ft one-bedroom to a 984 sq ft three-bedroom dual-key unit, on freehold land.
A large facilities podium
The developer lists 28 facilities across levels 7 and 7A, including a lap pool, cascading pool, pickleball court, co-working space and a surau.
Linked to the Causeway by shuttle
The developer plans a shuttle to the CIQ and the RTS Link, and the site sits beside the Skudai Highway.
What to weigh: the wait and Danga Bay supply
Tower A is not due until late 2029, and Danga Bay already has several large completed condominium projects competing for tenants and resale buyers.
The development

Straight answers
Frequently asked questions
How many units are there and what sizes?
There are 1,274 serviced apartments in two 36-storey towers, 637 of them in Tower A. Layouts are 453, 656, 771 and 984 sq ft, the largest being a three-bedroom dual-key unit.
Is it freehold, and when will it be completed?
Yes, it is freehold. The developer targets Tower A for the fourth quarter of 2029, and the KPKT record gives keys due on 26 January 2030.
Can a foreigner buy here?
In Johor a foreign buyer generally needs a purchase price of RM1 million or more per residential unit, plus state consent; Bumiputera lots and affordable units are closed to foreigners. Since 1 July 2025 Johor charges foreigners 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. Calia’s largest layout is 984 sq ft and no published price list was seen, so check whether any unit reaches RM1 million; 255 of Tower A’s 637 units are Bumiputera lots and closed to foreigners.
Is there transport to Singapore?
The developer plans a shuttle service to the CIQ and the RTS Link, and the site is next to the Skudai Highway.

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.
