Thriving developments for families and future generations
With the Southern region rapidly emerging as a strategic hub for investment and urban growth—spurred by the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ) initiatives and enhanced connectivity to Singapore—Johor is drawing increasing attention and excitement.
The JS-SEZ is touted to create new job opportunities, renewing demand for residential projects that serve both families and tenants. However, this demand now comes with a difference, as buyers' preferences have notably shifted to this thriving environment.
For real estate developer giant Mah Sing Group Bhd (Mah Sing), this climate is the perfect incubation for its on-going and upcoming development properties in Johor, particularly Meridin East, M Grand Minori, M Minori and M Tiara.
A township shaped by nature and community
Set in the heart of Kota Masai, Meridin East is Mah Sing’s flagship township in the southern state, a 1,313-acre freehold development that exemplifies thoughtful master planning, sustainable living and enduring community value.
With a projected development period of 12 to 15 years and an estimated 15,000 residential and commercial units upon full completion, Meridin East is one of the most ambitious integrated townships in Johor, designed to meet the evolving needs of Malaysian families.
Built on the principle of Liveable Communities, the township caters to a wide spectrum of homebuyers, from first-time homeowners to multigenerational households, by offering a diverse range of landed homes, including double-storey link homes, semi-detached homes, bungalows, cluster homes, condominiums, shop offices and light industrial units.
Currently available for sale are Allamanda 5, featuring built-ups ranging from 1,676 sq ft to 1,740 sq ft, with prices starting from RM491,000. For those seeking larger units, Jasmine 2 is also available, starting from RM565,000. These homes, with built-ups from 1,849 sq ft to 1,903 sq ft, are designed with families in mind, featuring four bedrooms, three bathrooms and functional layouts ideal for growing households.
The success of Allamanda, Jasmine, Erica East and Erica West reflects the steady popularity of Meridin East. Moreover, completed phases such as Acacia, Hazel and Orchid have achieved strong occupancy rates, further reinforcing the township’s reputation as a family-friendly address.
Meridin East seamlessly blends urban convenience with nature’s embrace. The development features 500 acres of green spaces, including Maple Embracing Park and the stunning 9-acre Mulberry Lake, perfect for weekend picnics or evening strolls. Families can enjoy 16.6km of dedicated jogging and cycling paths, community playgrounds and outdoor fitness zones that promote a healthy lifestyle.
The township is equipped with future-ready amenities such as kindergartens, secondary schools, an international school and a commercial centre, making day-to-day living incredibly convenient. For added peace of mind, Meridin East is a guarded community, with 24-hour security, CCTV surveillance and regular patrols across all precincts.
Meridin East offers excellent access to the Pasir Gudang industrial hub and Tanjung Langsat Industrial Park and is a short drive from Johor Bahru city centre. Nearby highways and public transport options make it easy to reach shopping destinations such as Lotus’s, Mydin and AEON, as well as healthcare facilities including Regency Specialist Hospital and KPJ Pasir Gudang.
M Minori is Mah Sing’s first M Series development in the southern region.
High-rise harmony with a Japanese touch
Mah Sing is also redefining vertical living in Johor Bahru through M Minori, its first M Series serviced apartment project in the region.
Located on a 6.9-acre freehold parcel in Seri Austin, M Minori is inspired by the Japanese philosophy of ikigai and the pursuit of a balanced and meaningful life. With its harmonious design and functional layouts, this high-rise development is thoughtfully planned for young professionals, first-time homeowners, newlyweds and urban families seeking an affordable yet quality lifestyle.
The development comprises three towers. Tower A has 421 units while Tower B has 619 units and Tower C, 486 units. M Minori’s edge lies in its comprehensive offering of amenities and sustainability features. A sprawling 2.8-acre lifestyle deck houses amenities such as a 2,800-sq ft multi-age gym, landscaped gardens and family-friendly recreational spaces.
For residents who commute to Singapore, the dedicated shuttle service to the Johor Bahru Customs, Immigration and Quarantine (JB CIQ) checkpoint ensures convenient cross-border travel.
M Tiara: Regal community rises in Skudai
Spanning 75.7 acres of freehold land in Skudai, M Tiara is designed to offer elegance, greenery and connectivity in one cohesive package.

M Grand Minori: A strategic urban gem
