JOHOR has emerged as the state with the second highest transactions after Selangor in Q2 of 2018, according to a report by the National Property Information Centre (Napic).

With 10,058 transactions worth RM4.34bil, Johor Baru and Kulai which fall under Iskandar Malaysia take up 57% of the total purchases and 70% of the value. This shows that the focus is still on the southern economic corridor.

Iskandar Malaysia, which covers 2,217sq km, is envisaged to become a strong and sustainable metropolis of international standing by 2050. As of March 2018, it received over RM262bil in investments and remains steadfast in making Johor the next Klang Valley.

“I am proud to lead the new state government,” said Johor Mentri Besar Datuk Osman Sapian. “We will keep improving, and create more positive changes across the state especially in increasing job opportunities and ensuring that property developments grow progressively for all Johoreans,” he added.

Statistics do not lie. Homeowners and investors alike are increasingly looking south, considering Johor’s vibrant economy and prowess in the fields of housing and development.

The most outstanding projects in the state will be compiled by StarProperty.my in the second edition of Jewels of Johor: Johor’s Most Exceptional Developments 2018/2019.

The coffee-table book, which showcases and illustrates the phenomenal property developments in Johor, is a must-have for every home buyer and investor keen on owning the best properties in the state.

“This book catalogues notable projects by admirable developers that are making robust strides in evolving and augmenting the real estate landscape of Johor,” said StarProperty.my assistant general manager Ernest Towle.

“Their bespoke developments showcased in this book not only tell what they are capable of but also inform the world of their vision about building a more exciting future for Johor,” he added.
