Emerald Bay Puteri Harbour | Freehold Waterfront Homes & Floor Plans
Emerald Bay is a freehold waterfront neighbourhood on 111 acres at Puteri Harbour, Iskandar Puteri, built around a network of private waterways rather than a single tower. Its landed component holds 250 homes — bungalows, semi-detached homes and courtyard homes, several of them designed with a private berth at the back door — inside a gated and guarded masterplan with a marina clubhouse. Phase 1A is completed and has received its Certificate of Completion and Compliance.

What Emerald Bay Actually Is
Most waterfront addresses in Johor are towers that look at the water. Emerald Bay is laid out the other way round: the masterplan cuts a network of private waterways through 111 acres, so the homes sit along the water instead of above it, and the four-storey courtyard homes and the bungalows can moor a boat at the rear.
The scheme was masterplanned by WATG of the United States, and the density is deliberately low — 250 landed homes across a site of this size, with the apartment components kept to four to eight storeys and ten to fifteen storeys elsewhere in the parcel. Security is layered: gated and guarded, access control and 24-hour perimeter patrols, with a marina clubhouse, man-made beaches and pocket parks as the shared ground.

The Island — Phase 1B
The Island is the smaller second parcel: twelve three-storey waterfront bungalows, each with a private berth and pool, on lots reached by their own bridge. Built-up areas run from about 6,728 to 8,870 sq ft across four layouts — Type V0, V1, V1A and V2 — with lot sizes from about 7,471 to 10,356 sq ft. Per-layout built-up figures are not printed in the developer's floor-plan brochure; ask us for the current unit list if you are looking specifically at The Island.
Location & Connectivity
Emerald Bay sits inside Puteri Harbour, the waterfront precinct of Iskandar Puteri, on the shores of the Straits of Johor. The address is a short drive from the Puteri Harbour marina and ferry terminal, the theme-park and family attractions cluster that anchors the precinct, and the offices and international schools of the wider Iskandar Puteri corridor.
By road, the Second Link Expressway reaches the Tuas crossing into Singapore, and the North-South Expressway runs north past Senai International Airport. For a household that moves between Johor and Singapore regularly, the practical point is that both an airport and a land crossing are inside a normal drive rather than a day trip.
Developer Background
Emerald Bay is developed by Haute Property Sdn Bhd, a joint venture between Ardent Heights — a wholly-owned subsidiary of BRDB Developments — and UEM Land. BRDB is the developer behind Bangsar's established residential and retail estate in Kuala Lumpur, and UEM Land is the master developer of Iskandar Puteri itself, which is why this parcel sits inside the wider Puteri Harbour plan rather than beside it.
