Bukit Senyum, Johor Bahru city centre · Under construction · Serviced apartments
Residensi Arden
A single 70-storey tower of freehold serviced apartments in Johor Bahru city, by Astaka. Every unit on the permit is priced above RM1 million, from RM1,078,000, which makes it one of the few new projects where a foreign buyer is not limited to the top floors.

Jason’s take
For foreign buyers who want the city centre, this is one of the few towers where every unit is above RM1 million, about 600 m from the RTS Link. You carry construction risk until 2030, and 70 storeys means lifts and service charges matter. Ask me for the fee estimate.

Why this address
Four things buyers weigh at Residensi Arden
A freehold city-centre tower beside the RTS Link, priced for foreign buyers. Here is the case, and the catch.
Open to foreign buyers on price
The cheapest unit on the permit is RM1,078,000, above Johor’s usual RM1 million floor, so every unit type is in range price-wise. The project’s foreign quota still has to be checked.
Walk to the RTS Link
RTS Link Bukit Chagar station is about 600 m away and the CIQ about 800 m, with JB Sentral about 1 km.
Sky facilities
A business and social floor on level 9, a sky lounge on level 50 and a sky garden on level 68, with Knight Frank appointed as property manager.
What to weigh: early stage and height
At 18% built with a 22-month approved extension, you carry construction risk for several years; late-delivery compensation runs from the extended date. 618 units in one very tall tower means lift capacity and maintenance costs are worth asking about.

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 developer’s filed range | RM1,078,000 – RM2,476,500 | KPKT TEDUH |
| Asking price 16 resale/assignment listings | About RM1.03 million – RM2.37 million (about RM1,230–RM1,540 psf) | PropertyGuru, Oct 2026 |
Listing prices are asking prices, not transactions. Ask Jason for recent transactions and the current price list.

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.
