Johor Bahru, 5 January 2026 – Malton Berhad (Malton) has officially opened the Mutiara Kempas Sales Gallery in Kempas, marking its first residential development in Iskandar Malaysia. The opening offers the public an early preview of the upcoming freehold serviced apartment development, strategically located in Johor Bahru. Designed as a low-density green development, Mutiara Kempas caters to urban professionals seeking modern living with strong local and cross-border connectivity to Singapore.
Located on a 2.8-acre freehold parcel along Jalan Kempas Baru, Mutiara Kempas sits within an established residential enclave surrounded by a comprehensive range of amenities. These include Paradigm Mall Johor Bahru, AEON Mall Bandar Dato’ Onn, Kempas Medical Centre, Starhill Golf & Country Club, LUCA International School, and Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), offering residents convenient access to retail, healthcare, education, and recreational facilities.
The development offers strong accessibility to Johor Bahru city centre and Singapore via major highways, including the North–South Expressway (NSE) and the Eastern Dispersal Link (EDL). It is also located just 1.5 kilometres from the KTM Kempas Baru Station, the upcoming largest train station in southern Malaysia. The station will provide shuttle services to Johor Bahru’s CIQ (Customs, Immigration, and Quarantine) complex, with future connectivity to Singapore via the Rapid Transit System (RTS), supporting seamless daily commuting and cross-border travel.
Mutiara Kempas comprises a low-density 39-storey residential tower with 562 serviced apartment units, featuring built-up areas ranging from approximately 801 square feet to 1,024 square feet. The development offers two- and three-bedroom layouts with multiple bathrooms, including a dual-key configuration designed to support multi-generational living. Units are partially furnished with built-in kitchen cabinets, air-conditioning units in the living area and master bedroom, as well as instant water heaters in all bathrooms, providing immediate comfort while allowing homeowners to personalise their spaces.
A comprehensive suite of lifestyle facilities has been curated to encourage healthy living. Residents will have access to a wide range of lifestyle facilities designed to promote community engagement, including an infinity pool, pickleball court, gymnasium, multipurpose hall, co-working spaces, and a children’s playground.
According to Datuk Hong Lay Chuan, Executive Director of Malton Berhad, Mutiara Kempas builds on Malton’s proven track record in the Klang Valley and its established presence in Johor through the 196-acre Rapid City Centre township in the Pengerang Integrated Petroleum Complex (PIPC). He noted that the development will be benchmarked against Malton’s award-winning and well-received projects, including Bukit Jalil City, River Park in Bangsar South, Duta Park Residences along Jalan Kuching, and Mutiara Hilltop in Puchong.
Designed in compliance with GreenRE standards, Mutiara Kempas integrates sustainable features to support practical and energy-conscious living. The freehold high-rise residential development is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2029.
The Mutiara Kempas Sales Gallery is now open, inviting the public to view the show unit and learn more about the development. For enquiries and registration, please contact 1700-82-5300 or visit www.mutiarakempas.com.
