Why this address
Four things buyers weigh at Sky Habitat
A compact freehold tower between the Causeway and the city centre. Here is the case, and the catch.
Close to the crossing
PropertyGuru’s launch review put the CIQ and JB Sentral about 2 km away, and iProperty puts the Bukit Chagar RTS Link site about 1.5 km away.
A small block
With 184 units in one tower, about eight to a floor, it is a quieter building than the large towers nearby.
Freehold, practical sizes
Most layouts are 2-bedroom units of 833 to 960 sq ft, with a 1,260 sq ft 3-bedroom type.
What to weigh: price per foot
EdgeProp’s recorded median is RM724 psf over 48 months, higher than several older towers nearby, and its implied gross yield is about 4.9%. Check recent sales for your exact layout.

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.

| Transacted price median, last 48 months | RM724 psf · typical RM661–774 psf | EdgeProp, viewed Oct 2026 |
| Launch price 2015 launch | About RM568,000–1.49m | PropertyGuru project review |
| Asking price for sale, 31 listings | From about RM500,000 · RM496–1,223 psf | PropertyGuru building page, Oct 2026 |
| Asking rent lowest listing seen | From about RM700 a month | PropertyGuru building page, Oct 2026 |
The transacted row is EdgeProp’s record of completed sales over 48 months; EdgeProp puts the implied gross yield at about 4.9%. Sale and rent rows are asking prices seen on PropertyGuru in October 2026, not transactions.

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 833 to 1,260 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 RM570,000, 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 | RM570,000 | RM570,000 |
| Down payment | RM57,000 | RM171,000 |
| Loan amount | RM513,000 | RM399,000 |
| Stamp duty on transfer (MOT) | RM11,100 | RM45,600 |
| Stamp duty on loan (0.5%) | RM2,565 | RM1,995 |
| Lawyer, sale agreement (incl. 8% SST) | RM7,506 | RM7,506 |
| Lawyer, loan agreement (incl. 8% SST) | RM6,890 | RM5,387 |
| Cash needed before keys | RM85,061 | RM231,488 |
| 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.

Frequently asked questions
How many units are there and what sizes?
There are 184 serviced apartments in one 33-storey tower. PropertyGuru’s launch review lists four 2-bedroom types of 833 to 960 sq ft and a 3-bedroom type of 1,260 sq ft.
Is Sky Habitat freehold?
Yes. SKS Group and PropertyGuru record freehold tenure; the launch review notes a commercial title.
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). PropertyGuru asking prices seen in October 2026 ran up to about RM930,000, so few if any units would meet the RM1 million line.
How much does a unit rent for?
PropertyGuru listings in October 2026 started from about RM700 a month; ask for whole-unit listings for your layout, as the lowest asks may be rooms.

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.
