Johor

A fast-growing frontier state linked to Singapore’s economic spillover, technology and infrastructure investment,
with high growth potential, cross-border living advantages
and long-term value for your portfolio.

Why Johor?

Johor is one of Malaysia’s most closely watched growth regions in recent years. Driven by capital, companies and people spilling over from Singapore, it is quickly becoming a centre for technology and industrial investment.

Strong Singapore spillover

Growing cross-border work and living needs are driving long-term demand for homes, rentals and lifestyle properties in Johor.

Large technology parks, data centres and manufacturing investments keep arriving, creating a stable industrial base and job growth.

Causewayz Square

Causewayz Square is more than a name — it is a vision. Inspired by the iconic Johor–Singapore Causeway, this large mixed development stands for more than a physical link: it represents unity, cultural exchange and progress. Located in the heart of Johor Bahru city centre, it is a few minutes’ walk from the JB CIQ, connects seamlessly to the RTS Link to Singapore and sits next to the JBCC business and retail hub. Developed by Exsim Group on about 7.75 acres of freehold land, it includes several residential towers: Tower A (62 storeys, 908 units), Tower B (60 storeys, 1,257 units) and Tower D (60 storeys, 1,527 units).

Johor Bahru’s best-known mega mixed-use landmark, R&F Princess Cove has long been a key link between Malaysia and Singapore.

Amenities are extensive, including a premium mall, a five-star hotel, offices and Johor Bahru’s only waterfront opera house. Its mature international community and unrivalled “first checkpoint” location keep it in strong demand for both rental and resale.
