New Project in Johor Bahru 2026

Quick answer: this guide lists 30 new and current projects in Johor Bahru — 22 freehold and 8 leasehold — with floor plans, unit sizes, bedroom counts and tenure on every project page. The list below is grouped by neighbourhood, and each name links straight to that project’s own page.

Johor Bahru is running the busiest launch pipeline outside the Klang Valley, and the RTS Link to Woodlands is the reason most of it is pointed where it is. The city centre and the CIQ end carry the towers aimed at the crossing; Tebrau, Mount Austin and Seri Austin carry the family stock; Southkey and Pelangi sit in between.

Every project below links to its own page, where the developer's floor plans, unit sizes and specifications are set out in full.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Johor Bahru property freehold or leasehold?

Mostly freehold among the projects listed here. The leasehold exceptions are Amberwood Resort Residence, Botanika Tebrau Coast, Monterra, NADI Residences at Southkey, The Asteriaz and The Celestz at Kebun Teh. Each project page states the tenure from the developer's own material.

Which projects are closest to the RTS Link?

The CIQ cluster — R&F Princess Cove, The Arden Residence, Majestics Gen Rise, Causewayz Square and Majestic Gen Sphere are all marketed on their proximity to the Bukit Chagar terminus and the Sultan Iskandar checkpoint.

Where is the family housing concentrated?

The Tebrau and Mount Austin belt on the east side, plus Seri Austin and Taman Daya. Those projects carry the larger three and four-bedroom layouts, while the CIQ towers skew towards smaller units.

Who are the most active developers in Johor Bahru?

Exsim Group, Astaka, KSL, Mah Sing, UOA, WCT, Plenitude, Keck Seng, Chin Hin and R&F all have projects in this list, which is a fair reflection of how broad the JB pipeline is right now.

Do these listings show floor plans?

Yes. Every project page carries the developer's own floor plan for each unit type, with built-up area, bedroom and bathroom counts.
