An elevated lifestyle vision by Majestic Gen inspired by the rhythm of a rising city
In a city undergoing profound transformation, Majestic Gen introduces Gen Sphere, a landmark freehold serviced apartment that embodies Johor Bahru’s robust growth. Occupying 1.25 acres of premium land and boasting a gross development value of RM837mil, Gen Sphere is crafted to redefine urban living for a new generation of homeowners and investors.
It arrives at a time when Johor Bahru is fast becoming one of Southeast Asia’s most dynamic and cosmopolitan cities, driven by major infrastructure projects, growing international investment, new lifestyle destinations and a community of forward-thinking residents and businesses.
Gen Sphere comprises 996 residential units and four retail lots, created for today’s urban buyers who desire adaptability, well-being and a strong sense of place. Situated within a walking distance of approximately 440m from JB Sentral and 700m from the Bukit Chagar RTS Link Station, the development offers seamless connectivity between Johor Bahru and Singapore.
A proposed direct link to the existing bridge to JB Sentral will further enhance this connectivity, making daily cross-border travel effortless for residents. Once the RTS Link is completed, the journey across the causeway is expected to take a swift six minutes, reinforcing Johor Bahru’s role as a well-connected and liveable gateway city.
As infrastructure, lifestyle offerings and international interest continue to reshape the urban landscape, Gen Sphere finds itself at the heart of this transformation.

Homes that resonate with the city’s energy
The essence of Gen Sphere begins with its architectural vision, capturing the momentum of a city ready for its next chapter. Inspired by the design philosophy of Nexus Sphere, the building expresses the convergence of cultures, people and ideas defining Johor Bahru today.
This energy takes shape in an organic form inspired by the city’s network of roadways, flowing seamlessly into a modern, futuristic aesthetic accented by subtle neon elements, giving the building a presence that feels alive and forward-looking, yet timeless. In this way, Gen Sphere becomes more than mere architecture; it becomes a symbol of Johor Bahru’s evolving heartbeat and the confidence of a city embracing its future.
The residences echo this same vision of life in motion. All 996 units offer dual-key flexibility, allowing spaces to adapt to changing lifestyles, from multigenerational living, rental income or working from home. Layouts range from carefully designed one-bedroom units of 459 sq ft to generous three-bedroom homes up to 755 sq ft. A limited collection of duplex units of 700 sq ft provides double-volume living with elevated views over the city skyline.
With prices starting from RM609,000, these homes represent a rare opportunity to own a freehold property in Johor Bahru’s city centre, built for the future. Retail spaces at various levels enhance convenience and vibrancy, contributing to a genuinely integrated urban lifestyle.

“At Majestic Gen, we believe that the quality of living spaces shapes great cities,” said Majestic Gen chief executive officer Datuk Hoo Kim See. “Johor Bahru is evolving with new energy and ambition and we see Gen Sphere as part of this transformation. Our vision is to create homes that meet the needs of today’s buyer and inspire a way of living that connects to the future of the city.”
Spread across four levels and eight distinct zones, the amenities are curated to enrich the rhythms of modern urban life. These include a Social Zone with BBQ terraces and pavilion, an Active Zone with a recreational basketball court and Wellness, Leisure and Core Zones featuring a yoga deck, jogging path, reflexology path, outdoor fitness facilities and a children’s playground.
Higher up, residents may escape to the Retreat Zone, which offers an elevated outdoor lounge and indoor activity areas. On Roof Level 50, the Aqua Zone presents a swimming pool, wading pool, spa pool, cabana and pool terrace. The Fitness Zone on Level 50M will feature a gymnasium and multipurpose courts for pickleball and badminton.
A scenic jogging path surrounded by greenery and softly lit arches invites a healthy community to bond.
Future living
Johor Bahru has reached a pivotal moment in its urban development. Once viewed as a border city defined by cross-border traffic, it is now emerging as a lively and cosmopolitan destination in its own right. Major infrastructure investments, led by the RTS Link, are reshaping its connection to Singapore and fueling a surge of urban renewal, creative energy and foreign investment.
Recent reports indicate capital values rising by 10% to 15% in key city centre areas, with demand strengthening among Malaysians working in Singapore and international purchasers recognising Johor Bahru’s growing value. Rental yields in prime locations are also rising, driven by cross-border demand from professionals.
“Johor Bahru is entering a new cycle of growth. The RTS Link will reshape how people live, move and connect within this region. We believe this transformation will drive lasting demand for homes that are thoughtfully designed and aligned with the evolving spirit of the city. Gen Sphere is shaped for this future, bringing together architecture, lifestyle and long-term value in a way that reflects the momentum of a rising Johor Bahru’s,” said Majestic Gen executive director Ta Wee Dher
