Why this address

Four things buyers weigh at The Peak

A low-density freehold tower pair on high ground off Jalan Tebrau. Here is the case, and the catch.

🏢

Few units a floor

StarProperty describes two to four units on each floor, all of them corner units, which is unusual for a 668-unit project.

🔑

Freehold, with large layouts

Layouts run from 947 sq ft 2-bedroom suites through executive suites of about 1,130 to 1,217 sq ft to Sky Villas near 2,200 sq ft, some of them dual-key.

🛣️

On the Tebrau corridor

The site sits off Jalan Tebrau near Pandan City Mall, with the Tebrau Highway bus stop about a 3-minute walk away, according to PropertyGuru.

⚖️

What to weigh: very thin market data

PropertyGuru showed a single sale listing and no rental listings in October 2026, and no transaction figures are published. Ask for recent sale records and a valuation before you offer.

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.

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 947 to 2,200 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 RM660,000, around the typical asking price here. Your figures will differ with the price and the bank.

Frequently asked questions

How many units are there and what sizes?

There are 668 units in two linked 39-storey towers. StarProperty lists 2-bedroom suites of 947 sq ft, executive and panorama suites of about 1,130 to 1,217 sq ft, and Sky Villas of about 1,948 to 2,200 sq ft, including 54 dual-key villas.

Is The Peak freehold?

Yes. PropertyGuru, PropertyGenie and StarProperty all record freehold tenure.

Can a foreigner buy here?

In Johor a foreign buyer generally needs to pay at least RM1 million per residential property and must obtain state consent. Since 1 July 2025 Johor also charges foreigners 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 and Malay Reserve land are closed to foreigners. The only sale listing seen in October 2026 was a 2-bedroom unit asking RM660,000, so only the largest units, if priced at RM1 million or more and not on a Bumiputera quota, could qualify.

How much does a unit rent for?

PropertyGuru showed no rental listings for The Peak in October 2026, so there is no current asking rent to quote. Ask the management office or check recent tenancies nearby.

How much cash do I need to buy at The Peak @ Johor Bahru City Centre?

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.
