JB city centre, Johor Bahru · Under construction · Serviced apartments
Residensi Gen
A 47-storey freehold serviced apartment tower near JB Sentral by Majestic Gen, with 732 units from RM563,000 on the permit and keys due in January 2029. The same developer has a second project next door, Residensi Gen Sfera.

Jason’s take
A wide choice of layouts, from 1+1 to 6 bedrooms, 750 m from JB Sentral, for buyers who want room to grow. My caution: the same developer's Gen Sfera next door adds about 1,000 similar units in the same area.
