Taman Desa Cemerlang flats are among the closest residences to the Frontier Industrial Park development, while the flats at Taman Bukit Mewah are located just behind WCT Holdings’ upcoming Paradigm Mall Johor Bahru in Tampoi.
- In the mid-end segment, gains were led by the older Indah Samudra condominium, with average prices up 39.4% to RM388 psf. Prices here are supported by the location close to the waterfront in the city centre.
- The rental market is supported by residents who commute daily to Singapore for work. Projects with the highest indicative annual rental yields are found in Larkin, near Larkin Bus Terminal. Projects with the highest rental yields are led by Sri Impian Apartment (9.1%), Larkin Utama (8.2%) and Larkin Idaman (8.1%). Now being built is the upmarket M Condominium close to the bus terminal.
