Johor Bahru, 11 May 2026 – Malton Berhad (Malton) has officially launched Mutiara Kempas, a freehold serviced apartment development in Johor Bahru. Located within the well-established Kempas area, the GreenRE-certified development offers low-density modern living ideal for first-time homeowners and urban professionals, with convenient access to major transport links and cross-border connectivity to Singapore. With an estimated gross development value of RM300 million, Mutiara Kempas has achieved a healthy 70% take-up rate since its preview in April 2026.

“As our first residential development in Johor Bahru, Mutiara Kempas aims to deliver a functional home designed in a location that is already familiar to residents. Today’s homebuyers are more selective, focusing on layout efficiency, affordability, and commuting convenience. This project addresses these elements clearly and accessibly,” said Datuk Hong Lay Chuan, Executive Director of Malton Berhad.

Positioned within an established residential enclave, the project is priced from RM336,000 (after Bumiputera discount), making it an affordable entry point for first-time homeowners. Its location in Kempas also ensures proximity to existing amenities, including Kempas Medical Centre (3.4km), Lotus’s Setia Tropika (1.8km), and La Stella Water Theme Park (4.8km), supporting day-to-day needs and lifestyle activities within easy reach.

“Building on Malton’s success in the Klang Valley and its established presence with the 196-acre Rapid City Centre in Pengerang, Johor, Mutiara Kempas will benchmark against well-received projects including the award-winning 50-acre Bukit Jalil City, River Park in Bangsar South, Duta Park Residences in Jalan Kuching, and Mutiara Hilltop in Puchong,” added Datuk Hong Lay Chuan.

Mutiara Kempas comprises 562 units within a single residential tower, offering a relatively low-density environment. Units range from 801 sq ft to 1,277 sq ft, featuring two- and three-bedroom layouts designed with efficient use of space.

Selected layouts offer added flexibility, ideally suited for extended families and those seeking rental opportunities. Garden units provide additional outdoor space with direct access to podium facilities, offering residents a seamless blend of comfort, convenience, and versatility.

Each unit comes partially furnished with essential fittings, including kitchen cabinets, air-conditioning in the master bedroom and living area, and instant water heaters in all bathrooms.

Residents will have access to a range of modern facilities designed to support both daily routines and leisure, including a multipurpose hall with a pickleball court, a co-working space, a swimming pool, a gymnasium, a meditation deck, and a herb garden.

Mutiara Kempas has also achieved Provisional GreenRE Bronze Certification under the Residential Category, reflecting the incorporation of sustainable features that contribute to a more efficient and comfortable living environment.

Strategically located, Mutiara Kempas is approximately 1.5km from KTM Kempas Baru Station, offering convenient access to key employment hubs and commercial areas within Johor Bahru.

The development will also offer a shuttle service to the Johor Bahru CIQ complex, a key crossing point for daily cross-border travel, supporting residents who commute regularly to Singapore. With the upcoming Rapid Transit System (RTS) linking Johor Bahru and Singapore, the area is expected to see improved connectivity and more efficient cross-border travel.

Given its location and accessibility, Mutiara Kempas remains an ideal residential option for both local homeowners and commuters across the border. The development is slated for completion in the second quarter of 2030.

Mutiara Kempas is now open for sale, welcoming prospective buyers to experience the show unit and learn more about the development. For enquiries, contact our sales personnel at +6012-743 2611 or visit www.mutiarakempas.com.
