Why this address

A small freehold tower that sits on top of a large mall. Here is the case, and the catch.
Mall on the doorstep
WCT describes direct access to Paradigm Mall Johor Bahru and the Hyatt Place hotel next to it.
Freehold and compact
263 units in one tower keeps the block small; layouts run from 530 sq ft one-bedders to 1,123 sq ft three-bedders, per WCT.
Highway links
WCT points to the Skudai Highway, the North-South Expressway and the Second Link Expressway.
What to weigh: recorded prices above most asking prices
EdgeProp’s recorded median of RM810 psf over 48 months sits above much of the current PropertyGuru asking range of RM288–906 psf. Check the most recent subsale records for your layout 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.
| Measure | Figure | Source and date |
|---|---|---|
| Transacted price median, last 48 months | RM810 psf · typical RM786–836 psf | EdgeProp project page, Oct 2026 |
| Asking price for sale, all sizes | About RM180,000–747,000 · RM288–906 psf | PropertyGuru building page, Oct 2026 |
| Asking rent whole units and rooms | About RM650–3,600 a month | iProperty building record, Oct 2026 |
The transacted row is EdgeProp’s record of completed sales over 48 months; EdgeProp puts the implied yield at about 5.11%. The sale row is asking prices on PropertyGuru (32 for sale) and the rent row is asking rents on iProperty (15 for rent), both seen in October 2026, not transactions. iProperty’s sale asking range was RM190,000–960,000.

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 530 to 1,123 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
Worked example for a unit at RM750,000, around the typical asking price here. Your figures will differ with the price and the bank.
| Malaysian buyer (90% loan) | Foreign buyer (70% loan) | |
|---|---|---|
| Purchase price | RM750,000 | RM750,000 |
| Down payment | RM75,000 | RM225,000 |
| Loan amount | RM675,000 | RM525,000 |
| Stamp duty on transfer (MOT) | RM16,500 | RM60,000 |
| Stamp duty on loan (0.5%) | RM3,375 | RM2,625 |
| Lawyer, sale agreement (incl. 8% SST) | RM9,450 | RM9,450 |
| Lawyer, loan agreement (incl. 8% SST) | RM8,640 | RM7,020 |
| Cash needed before keys | RM112,965 | RM304,095 |
| 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.

Is Paradigm Residence freehold?

Can a foreigner buy here?
In Johor a foreign buyer generally needs to pay at least RM1 million per residential property, with state consent. Since 1 July 2025 Johor charges foreign buyers 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. Bumiputera lots, low-cost and affordable units, Malay Reserve land and single or one-and-a-half-storey terraces are closed to foreigners. Asking prices at Paradigm Residence run from about RM180,000 to under RM1 million on PropertyGuru and iProperty, so foreign buyers are generally not eligible here.
How much does a unit rent for?
iProperty listings in October 2026 ask about RM650 to RM3,600 a month; the lower figures are likely rooms, and PropertyGuru lists rents from about RM900.
