Unit types
Get the floor plans →Arden is released in 3 layouts from 797 to 1,700 sq ft. The entry plan is Type A at 797 sq ft with 2 bedrooms. The largest is Type C at 1,700 sq ft running to 4 bedrooms. Only three layouts across 618 homes, and they are large by downtown Johor Bahru standards — 797 sq ft for the two-bedroom, 1,130 for the three and 1,700 for the four-bedroom. The typical residential floors run Level 10 to Level 67 and are banded into three zones: low zone on levels 10 to 37, high zone 38 to 51, and premium zone 52 to 67. Ask which zone your unit sits in before anything else, because the outlook changes materially across 57 floors and the price bands follow the zones.

Why buyers take it
Layouts running to 4 bedrooms. Family-sized stock is a smaller pool than studios and twos, which cuts both ways: fewer competing units when you sell, and fewer comparables when a bank values it.
RTS Link Bukit Chagar station at 600 m. A station within walking distance is the part of a location that cannot be built away later — the line is fixed. Walk it once in the afternoon heat before you treat it as walking distance.
68 storeys. Height is what puts a unit above the surrounding roofline. On a tower this tall the upper bands get an outlook that the lower ones do not, so the floor you are offered matters as much as the layout.
Layouts from 797 to 1,700 sq ft. A spread that wide means the building is not aimed at one kind of buyer, which usually leaves a broader market when it is time to sell.
Completion set for H1 2029. A published target gives the liquidated damages clause in the sale and purchase agreement something to bite on. Ask for the date in the agreement, which is the one that counts.
Why some walk away
It is not built yet. What you are buying is a drawing and a delivery date. Completion is set for H1 2029, and dates set by developers move. Read the sale and purchase agreement on the liquidated damages clause, not the brochure.
About 356 homes to the acre. Dense by any measure. It shows up in the lift wait, the car park ramp at 8am and how busy the pool is on a Sunday — none of it fixable later.
It sits on a commercial title. Housing-development protections still apply where the title says under HDA, but assessment and utility tariffs can follow the commercial schedule. Ask the developer to confirm in writing which one applies before you budget the monthly cost.
Every figure on this page comes from the developer. Unit counts, built-ups, distances and completion dates are as published by the developer or its appointed agents, and none of it is independently verified. Check anything you intend to rely on against the sale and purchase agreement.

Development at a Glance
Everything below comes from the developer’s own material. These are the figures that are fixed at construction — renovation changes none of them, so they are worth checking before anything else.

What the numbers actually say
618 homes on 1.735 acres is about 356 units per acre. That is high, which is what buys the price point — expect the common areas to be busy at peak hours.
Car parking is Levels 2 to 7. One bay for Type A, two bays for Types B and C. In a completed development this is one of the few things you cannot renegotiate afterwards, so check it against how many cars you actually run.
Completion is stated as H1 2029. Ask to see that date on the statutory panel rather than in the brochure headline, and hold the developer to the panel version.

Location & Connectivity
Arden sits inside One Bukit Senyum, Astaka’s 11.85-acre mixed-use masterplan in the Johor Bahru city centre, alongside The Astaka twin towers and Menara MBJB. The masterplan was envisioned by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and runs to 6.2 million sq ft across residences, Grade-A offices, a mall, a hotel and serviced apartments.
The distances are the reason this address exists: **600 m to the Bukit Chagar RTS station and 800 m to CIQ**. Both are walking distance, which almost nothing else in Johor Bahru can claim — and the RTS link to Woodlands changes what a Johor Bahru address means for anyone who works across the causeway.
