Why this address
Four things buyers weigh at Southkey Mosaic
Serviced residences inside a large mixed development. Here is the case, and the catch.
Part of the SouthKey development
iProperty describes the residences as part of a SouthKey project that also includes boutique pods and shop offices.
Rental demand
EdgeProp puts the implied gross yield at about 6.1%, and PropertyGuru showed about 248 rental listings in October 2026.
Resident facilities
PropertyGuru lists a pool, gym, jacuzzi, jogging track, multi-purpose hall and playground.
What to weigh: leasehold and plenty of competing units
Leasehold homes usually trade below comparable freehold, and with about 96 units listed for sale on PropertyGuru, buyers can compare closely. Check the lease expiry on the title.

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 | RM634 psf · typical RM546–807 psf | EdgeProp, viewed Oct 2026 |
| Asking price for sale, all sizes | About RM378,000–1.2m · RM415–853 psf | PropertyGuru building page, Oct 2026 |
| Asking rent whole units and rooms | From about RM1,400 a month | PropertyGuru and iProperty, Oct 2026 |
| Maintenance per month | About RM0.40 per sq ft | 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 6.11%. Sale and rent rows are asking prices seen on PropertyGuru and iProperty 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 676 to 1,509 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.
- ⚠️ Leasehold title. Check how many years remain on the lease; banks lend less, and buyers pay less, as the lease gets shorter.
- ⚠️ 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.

Frequently asked questions
How many units are there and what sizes?
There are 584 serviced residences in two 34-storey towers, according to PropertyGuru and iProperty. Layouts run from about 676 sq ft one-bedroom units to 1,509 sq ft.
Is Southkey Mosaic freehold?
No. PropertyGuru and iProperty record leasehold tenure. Check the lease expiry on the title.
Can a foreigner buy here?
In Johor a foreign buyer generally needs a purchase price of RM1 million or more per residential property, 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 in October 2026 ran from about RM378,000 to RM1.2 million, so most units are below RM1 million and only the largest 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?
PropertyGuru and iProperty rent listings in October 2026 started from about RM1,400 a month, depending on size and furnishing.

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.
