Johor Bahru, 11 May 2026 – Malton Berhad has officially unveiled Mutiara Kempas, a freehold serviced apartment development in Johor Bahru that introduces modern, low-density living within the established Kempas township. Certified under GreenRE, the development is designed to cater to first-time homeowners, urban professionals, and cross-border commuters seeking a well-connected and practical home environment. With an estimated gross development value of RM300 million, Mutiara Kempas has already recorded an encouraging 70% take-up rate since its preview in April 2026.
According to Datuk Hong Lay Chuan, Mutiara Kempas represents the company’s first residential venture in Johor Bahru and reflects its commitment to delivering homes that meet the evolving needs of today’s buyers. He shared that modern homeowners are increasingly prioritising functional layouts, affordability, and strategic connectivity, and the development has been thoughtfully planned to address these expectations in a practical and accessible manner.
Situated within a mature residential enclave, Mutiara Kempas is priced from RM336,000 after Bumiputera discount, offering an attractive entry point for young families and first-time buyers. Residents will benefit from close proximity to key amenities such as Kempas Medical Centre, Lotus’s Setia Tropika, and La Stella Water Theme Park, ensuring convenience for daily essentials, healthcare, shopping, and recreation.
Building on its established portfolio in the Klang Valley and its presence in Johor through the 196-acre Rapid City Centre in Pengerang, Malton aims to position Mutiara Kempas alongside several of its successful developments, including the award-winning Bukit Jalil City, River Park, Duta Park Residences, and Mutiara Hilltop.
Mutiara Kempas comprises 562 units housed within a single residential tower, creating a more exclusive and low-density living environment. Unit sizes range from 801 sq ft to 1,277 sq ft, featuring thoughtfully designed two- and three-bedroom layouts that maximise functionality and comfort. Selected units offer enhanced flexibility, making them suitable for extended families or buyers seeking rental opportunities, while garden units provide direct access to podium facilities and additional outdoor living space.
To enhance convenience, each home comes partially furnished with essential fittings, including kitchen cabinets, air-conditioning units in the living area and master bedroom, as well as instant water heaters in all bathrooms. Residents will also enjoy access to a comprehensive range of lifestyle facilities such as a multipurpose hall with a pickleball court, co-working space, swimming pool, gymnasium, meditation deck, and herb garden.
The development has achieved Provisional GreenRE Bronze Certification under the Residential Category, highlighting the integration of sustainable features that contribute towards energy efficiency and a more comfortable living experience.
Strategically located approximately 1.5 kilometres from KTM Kempas Baru Station, Mutiara Kempas offers seamless connectivity to key commercial and employment hubs across Johor Bahru. The development will also provide a dedicated shuttle service to the Johor Bahru CIQ complex, supporting the growing number of residents who commute regularly to Singapore.
With the upcoming Rapid Transit System expected to further improve cross-border travel efficiency between Johor Bahru and Singapore, Mutiara Kempas is well-positioned as an appealing residential option for both local homeowners and Singapore-bound commuters. The development is scheduled for completion in the second quarter of 2030.
