PETALING JAYA: Malton Bhd (Malton) has officially launched Mutiara Kempas, a freehold serviced apartment development in Kempas, Johor Bahru. With an estimated gross development value of RM300mil, the GreenRE Bronze (Provisional) development targets first-time homeowners and urban professionals, with convenient access to major transport links and cross-border connectivity to Singapore.
“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 executive director Datuk Hong Lay Chuan.
According to Malton, the development has achieved a take-up rate of 70% since preview in April. It offers 562 units within a single residential tower, with built-up ranging from 801 sq ft to 1,277 sq ft, featuring two- and three-bedroom layouts designed with efficient use of space. 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.
Mutiara Kempas is located near amenities including Kempas Medical Centre (3.4km), Lotus’s Setia Tropika (1.8km) and La Stella Water Theme Park (4.8km). It will 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.
"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," Hong added.
