Outside Johor Bahru, the same state sells space instead of volume
Johor Bahru's entry unit is 366 sq ft in a 4,500-home development. Twenty minutes out, Emerald Bay at Puteri Harbour sells houses of 3,301 to 8,870 sq ft. Five projects sit outside the city on this list, and between them they are the other half of what Johor offers.
The five
All five are freehold. Three are landed, two are high-rise, and the two high-rises are both in Permas Jaya — an established township on Johor Bahru's edge rather than a separate market.
| Project | District | Type | Homes | Built-ups |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Emerald Bay | Iskandar Puteri | Landed, waterfront | 250 within a 1,649-unit plan | 3,301 – 8,870 sq ft |
| Meadow Heights | Ulu Tiram | Landed, gated | 95 | 2,024 sq ft |
| Taman Bukit Indah | Batu Pahat | Landed, gated township | Phased | — |
| Parkland By The River | Permas Jaya | High-rise, 4 towers | 1,078 | 562 – 1,020 sq ft |
| The Straits View DUO | Permas Jaya | High-rise, 2 towers | 715 | 645 – 1,529 sq ft |
Emerald Bay is the top of the state
Emerald Bay is a gated waterfront enclave at Puteri Harbour on 111 acres, with 250 landed homes inside a 1,649-unit master plan, three to five bedrooms, built-ups of 3,301 to 8,870 sq ft and a published start of RM3,390,000. It is complete.
That is roughly nine times the floor area of a Johor Bahru entry unit and around twelve times the price. They are not competing products in any sense, and the only reason to see them on one page is to understand how wide the state is.
The two Permas Jaya towers are the JB product at a JB scale
Parkland By The River holds 1,078 homes across four 36-storey towers at eighteen to a floor, 562 to 1,020 sq ft, for Q4 2028. The Straits View DUO Residence holds 715 across two 33-storey towers at thirteen to a floor, 645 to 1,529 sq ft, for Q4 2029.
If you are shopping Johor Bahru high-rise, these belong on the same shortlist. The address differs; the product and the supply question do not.
Two landed schemes for people who want a house and a title
Meadow Heights in Bandar Tiram, Ulu Tiram, is 95 gated-and-guarded homes on a 19-acre master plan, four bedrooms, 2,024 sq ft built-up on lots of 24 by 60 to 24 by 65 feet, on a residential individual title, for 2029. Taman Bukit Indah in Batu Pahat is a gated freehold landed township by Parkland Group, rolled out in phases.
An individual title on a house is the cleanest ownership available. On a phased township, ask which phases are complete, which are selling, and when individual titles are expected to be issued for yours.
Before you book here
- If you are looking at Permas Jaya, compare it against Johor Bahru proper rather than treating it as a separate market.
- On a phased landed township, establish which phases are built and when your individual title is expected.
- For anything at Puteri Harbour, price it against the resale market there rather than against new launches in the city.
- Drive the commute into Johor Bahru at your real hour before deciding the space is worth it.
