Ownership & Buyer Information

Rental Yields

The Astaka is positioned in the heart of Johor Bahru city centre, within the One Bukit Senyum integrated development and approximately 800 metres from the Johor–Singapore CIQ. Rental demand in this area is primarily driven by cross-border professionals, Singapore-linked tenants, and high-income local occupiers seeking premium city residences.

Rental performance will vary by unit size, floor height, view orientation (city or sea-facing), and furnishing level. Larger units with private lift access and panoramic views typically appeal to long-stay tenants rather than short-term leasing.

Capital Growth & Exit Potential

The Astaka is a freehold luxury residential development in a tightly held city-centre location, forming part of a RM6 billion mixed-use township that includes offices, retail, hotels, and serviced residences.

Its positioning near the upcoming Bukit Chagar RTS station, proximity to Singapore, and landmark status as one of Southeast Asia’s tallest residential towers contribute to its long-term positioning as a trophy residential asset. Limited availability of comparable freehold, large-format luxury residences in Johor Bahru underpins its appeal to both owner-occupiers and resale buyers over time.

Foreign Ownership

Foreign buyers are permitted to purchase units at The Astaka, as the development’s pricing is positioned above Johor’s minimum purchase price threshold for foreign buyers.

The Astaka is a freehold development, allowing foreign purchasers full ownership rights, including the ability to lease or resell the property in accordance with Malaysian property laws and strata regulations.

Legal Support

All purchases are completed through licensed Malaysian solicitors. Transactions follow Malaysia’s regulated conveyancing process, including:

  • Sale & Purchase Agreement (SPA) preparation

  • Title and strata documentation handling

  • Stamp duty and statutory disbursements

Payments for new developments are governed by Malaysia’s Housing Development (Control and Licensing) Act, with buyer funds managed through approved stakeholder or escrow arrangements, providing structured payment protection throughout the purchase process.

Prime City-Centre Location in Johor Bahru

The Astaka is located within One Bukit Senyum, a landmark mixed-use precinct in the heart of Johor Bahru city centre. The development sits approximately 800 metres from the Johor–Singapore CIQ, placing it within close proximity of the upcoming Bukit Chagar RTS station and key cross-border transport links.

Its central positioning provides direct access to Johor Bahru’s commercial districts, healthcare facilities, shopping centres, and lifestyle amenities, while maintaining convenient connectivity to Singapore. This balance of accessibility and urban living underpins its appeal to owner-occupiers, professionals, and long-stay residents.

As part of an integrated township incorporating offices, retail, hotels, and serviced residences, The Astaka benefits from a well-established urban environment rather than a standalone residential setting.
