Jason’s take
Finished, freehold, with 1- to 4-bedroom layouts and good highway links from Kempas. There's a lot of supply here, around 100 units for sale in October, so take your time and negotiate.

Why this address
Four things buyers weigh at D’Summit Residences
A large freehold IOI development with smaller units for renters. Here is the case, and the catch.
Highway links
IOI lists links to the North-South Expressway, the Eastern Dispersal Link and the Pasir Gudang Highway, with ETS Kempas Baru station about 3 km away.
Layouts from 1 to 4 bedrooms
Types run from a 527 sq ft 1-bedroom unit to a 1,238 sq ft 3-bedroom-plus-1 unit with 3 bathrooms.
About 20 facilities
IOI lists a lap pool, kids’ pool, jacuzzi, gym, sauna, badminton court, yoga deck, games room and BBQ area, with three-tier security.
What to weigh: supply
With four 35-storey blocks, Mudah carried about 100 sale and 58 rent listings in October 2026, and the developer still advertises remaining units. Nearby Setia Tropika and D’Secret Garden add competition.

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 | RM572 psf · typical RM440–627 psf | EdgeProp, viewed Oct 2026 |
| Launch price at launch | RM343,900–960,000 | StarProperty review |
| Asking price subsale | 527 sq ft about RM265–325k · 764 sq ft RM320–375k · 904–1,238 sq ft RM418–550k | Mudah listings, Sep–Oct 2026 |
| Developer price remaining units | From RM380,000 | IOI Properties project page, Oct 2026 |
| Asking rent whole units | 1 bed about RM1,400–1,600 · 2 bed RM1,550–2,200 · 3 bed RM2,300–2,800 a month | Mudah listings, Sep–Oct 2026 |
The transacted row is EdgeProp’s record of completed sales, which estimates the gross yield at about 6.8%. The asking and developer rows are advertised prices, not transactions.

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 527 to 1,244 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

Stamp duty on the transfer of a home is a flat 8% for foreign buyers from 1 January 2026.

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.
