Why this address
Four things buyers weigh at Meldrum Heights
A new, small freehold tower in the city centre near the RTS Link. Here is the case, and the catch.
Close to the RTS Link
PropertyGuru puts the Bukit Chagar RTS Link station about 1 km away, with the CIQ and JB Sentral also close by.
Low density for the city centre
251 units in one tower is a small count by JB city standards, so fewer neighbours share the lifts and pool.
Small layouts and a dual key
Studios of 337 sq ft and a 1,022 sq ft dual-key three-bedroom suit both owner-occupiers and landlords.
What to weigh: no sales record yet
The tower was completed in 2025 and we found no recorded resale prices. Asking prices span about RM648 to RM1,335 psf, so compare like-for-like layouts 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.

| Asking price for sale, all sizes | About RM380,000–1.15m · RM648–1,335 psf | PropertyGuru listings, Oct 2026 |
| Asking rent whole units | About RM2,000–3,700 a month | PropertyGuru rental listings, Oct 2026 |
| Asking rent rooms | From about RM1,200 a month | PropertyGuru rental listings, Oct 2026 |
All rows are asking figures from the first results page of PropertyGuru’s sale listings (68 in total) and rental listings (71 in total) seen in October 2026, not transactions. We found no recorded resale prices for this 2025 tower yet.

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 337 to 1,022 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.
- ⚠️ 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

Frequently asked questions
How many units are there and what sizes?
There are 251 serviced residences in one 48-floor tower. Layouts run from 337 sq ft studios to a 1,022 sq ft three-bedroom dual-key unit, per PropertyGuru.
Is Meldrum Heights freehold?
Yes. PropertyGuru’s building page and its sale listings 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 PropertyGuru asking prices at Meldrum Heights in October 2026 were below RM1 million, so only a few of the larger units 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?
Whole units on PropertyGuru in October 2026 asked about RM2,000 a month for a studio up to about RM3,700 for a larger unit; rooms were listed from about RM1,200.

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.
