Jason’s take
Nearly finished, with one of JB's longest residential pools, near Danga Bay park and Sri Ara schools. It's a revived project, so let your lawyer check the title and charges. Daily Singapore commuters may prefer something closer to the CIQ.

Why this address
Four things buyers weigh at MBW Bay (Vista Tiara)
A nearly finished freehold revival at Danga Bay. Here is the case, and the catch.
Nearly finished
Towers 7 and 8 were completed in November 2025 and towers 4 to 6 are 87.41% built, so construction risk and waiting time are much lower than for a new launch.
Long pool and full facilities
One of JB’s longest residential pools, plus tennis and squash courts, co-working space, a music room and themed gardens.
Danga Bay setting
Danga Bay park is about 400 m away and the Sri Ara schools about 1.5 km.
What to weigh: revival and commute
For a revived project, have your lawyer check the title, outstanding charges and how earlier buyers were dealt with. The CIQ is about 9 km away, so daily Singapore commuters should compare projects beside the checkpoint.

The government record
The statutory name is Vista Tiara
This is what the Ministry of Housing records from the developer’s statutory returns: the price band on the advertising permit and the certified construction progress. A brochure price can be revised; the permit price was filed.
| Project code | Registered name | Units | Price band on the permit | Built | Keys due |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30688-1 | Vista Tiara · towers 4 to 6 | 911 | RM493,000 – RM1,056,000 | 87.41% | Dec 2027 (brochure) |

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 |
|---|---|---|
| Price on the permit whole project | RM446,000 – RM1,931,000 | KPKT TEDUH |
| Asking price average, 1 / 2 / 3 bed | About RM452,000 / RM641,000 / RM719,000 (around RM700–750 psf) | PropertyGuru, Oct 2026 |
| Asking rent 2 bed / 3 bed | About RM2,000–2,400 / RM2,800–3,000 a month | PropertyGuru, Oct 2026 |
Listing prices are asking prices, not transactions. Ask Jason for recent transactions and the current price list.
Completed towers
Buying, selling or renting at MBW Bay (Vista Tiara)
At MBW Bay (Vista Tiara), towers 7 and 8 are completed, 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.
- Title and tenure. Ask for a copy of the title to confirm the tenure and any restrictions before paying a deposit.
- 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.
Own a unit here, or want one?
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 495 to 1,076 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.
- ⚠️ 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 RM640,000, around the typical asking price here. Your figures will differ with the price and the bank.
| Malaysian buyer (90% loan) | Foreign buyer (70% loan) | |

| Down payment | RM64,000 | RM192,000 |
| Loan amount | RM576,000 | RM448,000 |
| Stamp duty on transfer (MOT) | RM13,200 | RM51,200 |
| Stamp duty on loan (0.5%) | RM2,880 | RM2,240 |
| Lawyer, sale agreement (incl. 8% SST) | RM8,262 | RM8,262 |
| Lawyer, loan agreement (incl. 8% SST) | RM7,571 | RM6,048 |
| Cash needed before keys | RM95,913 | RM259,750 |
| State consent fee for foreigners | – | 3% of the price or RM30,000 (Johor) |
Estimates only. Stamp duty: 1–4% tiers for Malaysians and PRs, 8% flat for foreigners from 1 Jan 2026. Legal fees follow the Solicitors’ Remuneration Order 2023. First-time Malaysian buyers of homes up to RM500,000 may get a stamp duty exemption until 2027. Valuation, disbursements and moving costs are not included.
